Meddlesome Update
Our first new trait for The Meddlesome Update is The Meddler! On days when The Meddler does not play in, they may choose a pirate that is playing in and change whatever theyve chosen to play in today to either an obey or a disobey. Like other active traits, their power is limited and The Meddler can only meddle a maximum of three times each voyage.
When a meddle takes place, the pirate whose job was meddled will receive a private prompt on their device to let them know that theyve been meddled (and whether their choice is being forced to obey or disobey), and just before the job cards are revealed on the main screen you will see an indication that a meddle took place today. Whether your Meddler is a ghost trying to meticulously frame a human pirate, or a human pirate thwarting the plans of your ghosts, The Meddler is sure to add an extra layer to all your social deducting.
Our second new trait for The Meddlesome Update is The Sensitive! The Sensitive is able to tell, by checking their black spot, whether they are currently next to a ghost on the ship. That means if the pirate one rank up, or down, from them is a ghost - or even if both are! - The Sensitive will know that theyre near some spooky business.
The Sensitive adds a whole new perspective to events which change pirates rank and positions on the ship. Watch out when the captain promotes you - they might be bringing you into the suspicion of The Sensitive!
Nat OBother has opened up his Ship Shop - a new expansion to the Shop Ship! Bobbing in his barrel, but always ready to go, nothing is too much bother for our Nat! The Ship Shops specialism is helping you to customise your ship - as displayed on the title screen and sailing while youre on a voyage. Everyone gets a free ship slot by default, so you can visit Nat and start building right away!
Nat sells a wide range of ship parts for PP Coins, from figureheads to flags, from sails to sterns, and you can combine them to build the ship of your dreams. To top things off, hes also here to help you give each ship a name and icon.
If youre feeling flush and customisations your thing, Nat can also sell you additional ship slots which let you own more than one ship - saving custom ship configurations to switch between quickly. The more ships you own, the more they cost, so having a navy of seaworthy ships might take more adventurin than you expect!
With The Meddlesome Update, were also introducing one new event - Ominous Winds! When Ominous Winds blow, a pirate is sure to see an omen of the future. What will this omen do? Will it threaten to throw a pirate overboard? Offer them a promotion to captain? Or something else entirely?
All omens are tracked as ongoing events (so you can see the details at the side of the screen!) and grant a sense of impending fortune or doom to a particular pirate. Will your omen play out, or will it expire before it has a chance to take effect?
Weve made some improvements to the Paper Pirates UI to increase readability, and to help add understanding to the way the game is played. The following three key features are designed with new players in mind in particular:
In the top left of the game screen, youll now see the phase tracker. The phase tracker indicates which stage (playing in, event or voting) of the current day youre at, and which one is coming up next.
Weve made it more clear when someone needs to take an action on their device, with a clearer indicator above a pirate. These trigger when a pirate needs to make a choice in an event or vote a pirate overboard for example.
In addition to the existing Who voted for who tracker on each players device, weve added a visual indicator of who cast votes for who during voting in the form of coloured black spots.
When an event has an action or decision that might create a ghost, the event message box will give you a little warning to let you know. Look out for this as a helpful reminder when weighing up whether its worthwhile to poison that soup or not!
Weve also given the Credits page a bit of a facelift - check it out to see the pirates on the Iteration Games crew!

Sailing on Stream?
Crew all stranded ashore? We recommend playing Paper Pirates on your favourite streaming service to play with remote players!

And with audience mode, if you’re streaming for the masses, everyone can jump in and affect how the game plays out!Who can you trust?!
Every round, the captain will give out orders for their crew. Everyone doing their job gets us closer to shore, but watch out for when something goes wrong; a ghost must be about! And if things are going too well, then what’s to stop the captain being a ghost?Get Off My Ship!
At the end of each round, you’ll vote for somebody to walk the plank. You want to purge the ghosts, but be careful... every innocent pirate overboard comes back to haunt someone anew!I’m the Captain Now
When someone goes overboard you could be up for a promotion. The higher your rank, the more likely you are to get haunted and become a target. If you end up as captain, you’ll be the one choosing who gets to take part in each day’s task. Make sure you know who you can trust to get you home!Packed with Events
Are things going too well? Oops, we’ve hit rocks; a whirlpool has caught us; cue spooky ghostly apparitions! Are we nearly all out of treasure and all hope is lost?
