Throughout October, celebrate Paper Pirates’ spookiest seasonal event by taking part in the Halloween-themed Haunted Seas event! Running from 1st October - 31st October, a whole host of spooky goings on are waiting for you.
Play a Traits+ game during Haunted Seas, and you might find a spooky new Traits+ exclusive passive trait has joined the crew. When a pirate starts the game as The Vampire, a special day one event, The Vampire's Bite, will automatically trigger. During this event, The Vampire can choose any other pirate - immediately turning that pirate's passive trait into The Vampire too.
The two vampires then have a unique victory condition they can achieve: Every time either vampire votes to throw a pirate overboard, they will feed on that pirate, gaining power. Once fed on, that pirate cannot be fed on again by either vampire.
If The Vampires are able to successfully throw all other pirates overboard, they will reach maximum power - causing the voyage to immediately end, and declaring the two pirates with The Vampire passive trait as the only winners.
Available in all trait games during Haunted Seas is the spooky passive trait, 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?
Go on a sailing adventure during the Haunted Seas event, and the Halloween Spirits may appear to one of the crew. During the Event phase of the game, the Trick or Treat? event may activate for the duration of Haunted Seas, offering a randomly chosen pirate a choice. Will they take the easy option and choose a treat, or are they feeling brave and willing to risk a trick?
If an audience is observing your voyage during Haunted Seas, they might find themselves empowered with a surprise. The 'Audience Surprise' seasonal event asks the audience whether they'd like to surprise the crew with either a trick, or a treat. If more of the audience choose trick, an event which generally favours the ghost team will immediately happen. If more of the audience choose treat, an event which generally favours the human team will immediately happen.
Will your audience surprise you with a lovely treat, or a mischievous trick?

To celebrate Haunted Seas, every day you'll receive a unique Treat bounty task!

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!
Invite some bots into your game during the Haunted Seas event, and you may find some of the regular crew replaced with new, super spooky Halloween-themed bots! They’ll only join your games during the Haunted Seas event, but each has their own dastardly personality and appearance for you to enjoy.
