Paper Pirates is a social deduction game for 1 to 10 players, so bring along your best crew, see who you can trust, and who’ll be going overboard! Everyone connects to the game with an internet-enabled device, so everyone can play! And once you’ve got your crew together you can set sail on your adventure!

Sailing on Stream?
Crew all stranded ashore? We recommend playing Paper Pirates on your favourite streaming service to play with remote players! Don’t worry if you’re not in the same room; you can use the built-in chat feature. 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? Help could come from a message in a bottle; a spy in the crows nest; an exorcism at sea!Paper Pirates is filled with events to make every journey different!

Hats and Achievements
Fancy the captain’s hat but you’re stuck as the cabin boy? Not to worry, Paper Pirates has over 30 Steam achievements. Each achievement you unlock will earn you a new hat, which can be randomly chosen for your pirate to wear when customising your pirate in the game lobby! !Joining Paper Pirates today is the new trait, The Dutiful!

The Dutiful is a new active trait, available in all Trait and Traits+ games with at least six pirates. When The Dutiful doesn\'t play in, they can activate their trait, controlling which event shows up for that day. When they activate their trait, the day\'s event will always be the Crew\'s Duty event for whatever rank The Dutiful is at the time of the event.
That means that their power allows them to force the following events:
Quartermaster: Demotion
[/*]Navigator: Plot a Course
[/*]Gunner: Conspiracy
[/*]Surgeon: Botch Job
[/*]Shipwright: Busywork
[/*]Cooper: In the Barrel
[/*]Cook: Suspicious Soup
[/*]Cabin Boy: Captain\'s Favourite
[/*]Stowaway: Overpower
[/*]
After they\'ve chosen to do this, The Dutiful will need to rest, and won\'t be able to use their trait for a minimum of three days. When the cooldown has expired, they\'ll be able to do it again, and there\'s no limit on the number of times they choose to activate their trait outside of the three day cooldown.
The Dutiful might have a plan for an event they want to trigger, but they also need to be careful - if their rank changes before the event triggers, maybe through a sneaky Brawler, they\'ll get the event for their new rank instead...
The Dutiful is one of seven new traits coming to Paper Pirates! More new traits will become available on the following schedule:
19th September 2025
[/*]1st October 2025
[/*]17th October 2025
[/*]31st October 2025
[/*]
