Adventure Events
Patch 2.8 brings with it a grand sense of adventure, as we introduce a new type of event to Paper Pirates! When an Adventure Event occurs during your journey, the crew temporarily takes a pitstop, engaging in a mini-adventure.
During an adventure, the crew have the chance to pick and choose which events take place, and multiple events will happen in quick succession. It’s an all new way to experience events - and the things that happen on an adventure don’t just stay on the adventure, they’re going to affect your game when you’re back on the ship too!
The Island Adventure
The very first Adventure Event is the Island Adventure, where the crew explore an island they discover way out in the seven seas! Together you have enough resources to explore two regions of the island, so pick wisely which bits of the island you want to see each time you visit!
The island has nine regions in total, which means there are nine new fun-filled events for you to experience as part of the Island Adventure. From fishing off the docks to diving for treasure, whichever activities you try out on your trip to the island it’s sure to shake things up in your game!
As an extra bonus, there are five new achievements relating to the island. Work hard when you’re on an adventure, and maybe you will discover a new hat for your efforts!
Dress for Adventure in the Outfit Shop
Our resident shopkeeper, Sam Sherbot, is already well acquainted with the island, and has stocked up the Outfit Shop with a whole new range of island-themed goodies for you to browse and purchase using the coins earned for playing Paper Pirates.
Continuing on the theme of dress-up, why not make an explorer outfit for your pirates - or go undercover and try to mingle with the local wildlife!
In total, there are over forty new outfit shop items, so there’s plenty of new ways for you to customise your pirates.
New Outfit Customiser
As the number of things Sam Sherbot has on sale grows, we’ve overhauled the outfit customiser to make it more manageable when you have a large wardrobe for your pirates! The new outfit customiser is visible immediately when connecting to a game, and lets you start customising your pirate’s look right away. Don’t worry - the randomise buttons are still there for those of you who love to leave your look all up to chance!
Additionally, a new option on the outfit customiser lets you save your current outfit to a code, which you can then store and paste into the outfit customiser again to recreate your current look with one simple button press! This gives all pirates a great way to share dress-up tips, store a full range of outfits, or bring your outfit from one person’s game to another. If the owner of the game doesn’t have all the items in your outfit unlocked yet, they’ll get swapped out randomly for something they do have, so you might even uncover some new variations on your outfit that you love!
Daily Sales at the Outfit Shop
Sam Sherbot has been feeling generous of late, so they’re going to start offering a daily sale in the outfit shop. Each day a few categories from the shop will have a select number of items on sale, sometimes for as much as 75% off! The sales are the same for everyone, so if you see an item that’s a total steal, don’t forget to let your friends know so they can visit the Outfit Shop and pick it up for their game too!

A Few Other Things
- We’ve revisited the Mutiny event to include crew interaction ensuring that the mutiny never feels like a product of bad luck. In the revamped Mutiny event, all players are given an opportunity to vote in secret as to whether they favour the mutiny, or not. If half or more of the crew vote to Mutiny, the captain is thrown overboard, with anyone who voted for the Mutiny having a chance to become a ghost if the captain was a human.
- We’ve improved the way events are chosen each day, so you should see events that you see less often appearing more, to help keep every game fresh and unique!
- The timer now has a visual indicator, which shows the number of seconds remaining before time’s up!
- The ‘Bandana’ outfit category has been renamed to ‘Headwear’ to more accurately reflect the type of items in this category.
- Attempting to start the game from a connected device now triggers a short countdown before the game is started. Attempts to start the game can be aborted from the main screen before the timer elapses.
Bug Fixes
- A rare bug which caused pirates to play-in twice is now hopefully resolved.
- Some text in the How to Play Guide for Default Games was accidentally duplicated, and has now been removed.
