The Pirate Pool Party!

Make a splash with The Pirate Pool Party!

Across June and July, we’re celebrating with the wettest Paper Pirates Seasonal Celebration, The Pirate Pool Party! Running from 24th June to 22nd July, celebrate the warmer weather with a party dedicated to all things poolside, and a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates! Steam post image

Seasonal Trait: The Mermaid

The Mermaid is an active trait available in all voyages during The Pirate Pool Party with at least 7 pirates. The Mermaid's strength grows each time they are thrown overboard by any means - that includes by events, by traits, or by voting.

When The Mermaid does not play in, assuming they have been overboard at least once, they may choose to active their power. The Mermaid's terrible rage is embodied in the form of revenge, and when activated, they must throw overboard one pirate for each time they have been overboard. They can't choose to stop, so if they've been overboard twice, they must throw two different pirates overboard.

Once they've exacted their wicked revenge, The Mermaid's rage will be temporarily quelled, but they will again grow their power each additional time they are thrown overboard.

Seasonal Traits: The Shark & The Bait

The Shark and The Bait appear as a pair, and one is hunting the other! In any game where The Shark and The Bait appear, The Shark has a unique victory condition. If they're able to get The Bait thrown overboard three times - through events and/or voting - they will automatically and instantly achieve a solo victory! Both The Shark and The Bait are passive traits.

Steam post imageIs someone behaving suspiciously? A bit too keen to throw someone overboard? Maybe they're The Shark! Is someone claiming to be The Bait? Maybe they just don't want to go overboard and really they're The Cursed? Hmm, tricky times ahead crew...

To make things even more challenging for the crew, The Bait will always appear as a ghost when their team is revealed through traits and events. Be vigilant crew!

The “Spooky Sandcastles” Event!

Go on a sailing adventure during The Pirate Pool Party, and any day when there’s a failed job there is a chance you may encounter the “Spooky Sandcastles” event. Encountering some mysterious haunted sandcastles, the crew must each choose one of the three to hide amongst! But be wary, for once all pirates have picked a hiding place, the most popular pick will reveal how many of the pirates choosing to hide amongst it was actually a ghost! Steam post imageWatch out for pirates choosing to hide amongst their peers, or those choosing to go it alone hoping not to be discovered. Whether pirates are jumping in with others or not, there’s bound to be deception around the spooky sandcastles!

Get your Party On in the Photo Booth

To celebrate The Pirate Pool Party, there is one limited-time Background and one limited-time Foil available in the Photo Booth, in the Captain’s Log. Take the opportunity to snap your favourite pirate templates, and share any pics you take!

Pirate Pool Party Bots

Invite bots into your game during The Pirate Pool Party, and you may encounter any of three unique bots! Look out for Crabbot, Sandy Botney and Wes Overbot who are all eager to board your ship and throw you overboard! These bots will only join your games during The Pirate Pool Party, so take the chance to meet them now before they swim away for the rest of the year! Steam post image
