[h2]What are you thankful for during the Festive Feast Event?[/h2]



Through the second half of November, we’re taking some time to be thankful in our most delicious seasonal event, The Festive Feast! Running from 16th November - 30th November, celebrate the harvest season with a festival of feasting and thankfulness and a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates!

[h2]Seasonal Trait: The Quarterback[/h2]
Our seasonal trait for The Festive Feast is The Quarterback! The Quarterback is gifted with an exploding football, and knows exactly how many days the football will take to explode.



They may pass the ball to any other pirate, who then has the chance to either pass it on to another pirate or keep hold of it in the pre-event phase of the next day. The Quarterback will always know exactly how many days there are until the football explodes, throwing the pirate currently holding it overboard. Can you trust The Quarterback's timings, or will you find yourself blown up by their lies?

[h2]Make a Wish Every Day[/h2]
Play Paper Pirates during The Festive Feast and you can make a festive wish once per day! Play at least one game, and after your voyage you'll receive a gift from the bounty board!



There are five American football-themed outfit pieces for you to collect from the daily quests, so make sure to play a game of Paper Pirates on five different days before the celebration ends on the 30th November!

[h2]Special Harvest Bounty[/h2]
New to the Festive Feast for 2023, there is a special harvest bounty. To complete the bounty, you need to play five games, of any mode, during the Festive Feast. Upon completion, you'll get a special treat...

It's quite the surprise!

[h2]Wish on a Wishbone![/h2]



Go on a sailing adventure during The Festive Feast, and your crew will have the chance to partake in the time-honoured ritual of wishing on a wishbone. During the Event phase of the game, the Wish on a Wishbone event may activate for the duration of The Festive Feast, offering two randomly chosen pirates the opportunity to wish for an event to occur. Which of the pirates will pull the larger half of the wishbone and have their wishes granted…? That’s all part of the fun of Wish on a Wishbone!

[h2]Festive Feast Bots[/h2]



Invite some bots into your game during The Festive Feast, and you may find some of the regular crew replaced with some particularly festive bots, out to celebrate Thanksgiving! They’ll only join your games during The Festive Feast, but each has their own personality and appearance for you to enjoy.

Through early November, we’re honouring the spirits of the dead with our most spiritual seasonal event, Día de Muertos running from 1st November - 14th November!



[h2]Seasonal Trait: The Spiritualist[/h2]
Our new seasonal trait for Día de Muertos is The Spiritualist. On days when The Spiritualist does not play in, they may decorate a sugar skull offering using any pattern of their choice.



The pattern of the offering will then dictate how the spirits decide to reward The Spiritualist. Each different pattern leads to a different event, so the more times you're The Spiritualist and the more attention you pay, the more you can control the response of the spirits!

[h2]Make an Offering Every Day[/h2]
Play Paper Pirates during Día de Muertos and you can make an offering to the spirits once per day! Play a game each day, and after your voyage you'll receive a gift from the bounty board!



There are four candle-themed outfit pieces for you to collect from the daily quests, so make sure to play a game of Paper Pirates four times before the celebration ends on the 14th November!

[h2]Sacred Sugar Skulls[/h2]
Go on a sailing adventure during Día de Muertos, and your crew will have the chance to decorate an offering to honour the spirits that have passed! Three randomly chosen pirates will each choose a pattern for a region of the sugar skull, and depending on the particular design that's chosen, the spirits will reward you in a different way.



Every pattern will always lead to the same reward, so once you've found a good one if you convince your crew to recreate it, the same reward will happen again!

[h2]A Special Spiritual Bot[/h2]
Invite bots into your game during the Día de Muertos, and you may find one of the regular crew replaced with a special La Catrina-themed bot! She’ll only join your games during the Día de Muertos event, but she has her very own personality and appearance for you to enjoy.

[h2]Seasonal Trait: The Werewolf[/h2]
Our seasonal trait for Haunted Seas is The Werewolf.



On odd numbered days, when the moon is in its crescent phase, The Werewolf is weakened. Any votes cast by The Werewolf on these days will only have a voting power of one, regardless of their rank on the ship.

However, on even numbered days, when the moon is full, The Werewolf is strengthened! Any votes cast by The Werewolf on these days will have double their usual voting power. Yikes! They might even start throwing people overboard all on their own...

Will you get hunted by The Werewolf?

[h2]No Tricks Here, only Treats![/h2]
To celebrate Haunted Seas, every day you'll receive a unique Treat bounty task! Complete the task to open a spooky treat, which contains some unique outfit customisation options you can't obtain anywhere else!



There's two outfits, for a combined total of eight items, to collect throughout Haunted Seas. Make sure to complete your tasks every day, and get ready to dress up!

[h2]Grab a sausage and celebrate Oktoberfest![/h2]
As we see out September, we’re celebrating the ninth Paper Pirates Seasonal Celebration, Oktoberfest on the Ocean! Running from 18th to 30th September, celebrate the end of the season with a shindig dedicated to pretzels, sausages, chicken dancing and more, with a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates!



[h2]Seasonal Trait: The Brewmaster[/h2]
The Brewmaster is here, and they're ready to get the party started! When you have a Brewmaster aboard, they'll be asked to set the vibe of the ship during the first day. Whichever vibe they choose will mix up the Paper Pirates voting rules!

There are a total of four vibes The Brewmaster can pick for the ship:

• Aggressive Vibes - Grants each pirate one additional voting power
  
• Chaotic Vibes - Instead of voting from Stowaway to Captain, the crew will vote in a randomised order each day
  
• Determined Vibes - Removes the crew's ability to pass their vote
  
• Energetic Vibes - If nobody has gone overboard after the Captain has voted, a second round of voting begins. Votes from the previous round carry forward!
  

Whichever vibe they pick will stay in effect for the rest of the voyage. However, each day The Brewmaster doesn't play in, they can choose to change up the vibe, and bring a new mood to the party. How will having The Brewmaster aboard change the way your crew votes people over?

[h2]The band is here![/h2]
To help get the party started, a collection of instruments brand new for Oktoberfest 2023 will be available at Sam Sherbot's Outfit Shop aboard the Ship Shop for the duration of Oktoberfest on the Ocean. Instruments can be worn by pirates in either the Hand or the Belt outfit slots, depending on the instrument type, and there's enough for everyone on even the biggest crews to grab a different instrument!

[h2]The “Biggest Bratwurst” Event![/h2]
Go on a sailing adventure during Oktoberfest on the Ocean, and any day when there’s a successful job there is a chance you may encounter the “Biggest Bratwurst” event! The pirates stop for a cook-out, each grabbing a sausage from the grill. Some of the sausages are much bigger than the others though, and everyone knows a pirate needs a full stomach to carry out the most important duties on the ship. The bigger your meal, the higher your rank on the ship! So watch out, if you pull a chipolata, you might end up as Stowaway!



The Biggest Bratwurst event is sure to mix things up amongst the crew, changing who’s next to each other and therefore who’s playing in for different groups of jobs together. Not only that, but if you’re playing a trait game, you might want to be extra careful of who ends up next to The Sensitive!

[h2]Oktoberfest on the Ocean Bots[/h2]
Invite bots into your game during Oktoberfest on the Ocean, and you may encounter any of four unique bots!

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!



[h2]Seasonal Traits: The Shark & The Bait[/h2]
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!


Is 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!

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!



Watch 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!
