How it feels

A lighthearted voyage where players bluff and vote to find ghostly impostors among cartoon pirates.

What players say

Players say Paper Pirates is a chaotic party game first, social deduction second, some note that unlike Werewolf or Among Us, the ghost team can constantly change sides, which makes it harder to track who is evil. The trait and score modes keep rounds fresh, and the AI can be a mess, but the phone-as-controller system and remote play options are praised.
