Paper Pirates

by Iteration Games

The Developer Says...

Grab a crew and jump aboard a haunted pirate ship for a social deduction party game, using your phones as controllers! Are you a human sailing home to shore or a ghost working against the crew? Throw your crewmates overboard, but fear not - nobody’s ever out of the game!

❤ Mechanical Foundations

This maritime intrigue game challenges players as either humans or ghosts racing to reach shore or sabotage the voyage. Participants join via web browsers using a room code, with only one host purchasing the game. The experience supports 3-10 players, automatically inserting bots to fill empty slots.

❤ Core Gameplay Loop

Each voyage consists of multiple rounds where a captain assigns specific tasks like 'repair the ship' or 'navigate through storm'. Players strategically choose to obey or undermine the captain's orders. Unified crew actions (all obey or all disobey) advance the ship, divided actions result in losing treasure chests, and randomized events like 'time travel' or 'kraken attack' dramatically alter gameplay. Rounds conclude with a dramatic overboard voting session.

❤ Elimination Mechanics

Unlike traditional social games, players never truly exit. Voted participants become 'stowaways'. Stowaways can re-enter if another player is eliminated. Humans thrown overboard transform a crew member into a ghost. Eliminated ghosts permanently leave the game.

❤ Gameplay Modes

Three distinct experiences offer variety: Classic Mode (traditional hidden role gameplay), Scored Mode (secret individual objectives with point accumulation), and Trait Mode (unique character abilities that modify standard rules).

❤ Strategic Depth

The game features continuously shifting teams between human and ghost allegiances, extensive replay value through 60+ possible events, emphasis on psychological manipulation, accessible yet strategically sophisticated gameplay, and constant player engagement.

❤ Optimal Experience

The game peaks with 5-10 players, transforming social interaction into a dynamic, unpredictable maritime adventure.
