Throughout January, we’re celebrating with the Paper Pirates Seasonal Celebration, Soggy Hogmanay! Running from 1st January - 21st January, celebrate the start of the New Year with a festival of glad tidings, and a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates!

New for 2025, all voyages during Soggy Hogmanay will start with a brand new day one event: The Crew's Resolution. When presented with The Crew's Resolution, each crew member will have to vote on one of a small selection of vows that they want the whole crew to commit to for the remainder of the voyage.

Whichever vow receives the most votes will immediately come into effect for the whole crew. Each vow will dramatically change the way voting works, which means this is a high stakes choice. There are six different vows, and whichever vow is chosen for your voyage is bound to make a difference.

Are things not going to plan? Do you regret the decisions you made at the very start of the voyage? What you need is a Change of Resolution event! When this happens, the entire crew will be offered the opportunity to change the vow they picked at the start of the voyage.

Who knows what has happened since day one? Maybe now you feel quite differently about how your crewmates are using their newfound voting powers? However you feel, it's all change with a Change of Resolution!

Returning to Soggy Hogmanay is the seasonal trait, The Resolute! Play a trait game during Soggy Hogmanay, and one of the crew may find themselves playing as The Resolute.

The Resolute must make a New Year's Resolution during the first day of the voyage. Their resolution asks them to pledge their allegiance to either the human or the ghost team. Whichever team they pick, they will instantly join - and they won't be able to become a member of the opposite team for the entirety of the remainder of the voyage!

Their choice is private to them, so make sure you don't get caught out by a sneaky Resolute pretending to have become a perma-human, when they might actually have just become The Tainted's best friend...

New for 2025, The Resolute has a special seasonal Trait Event! If they're lucky enough for the crew to encounter a The Resolute's Resolve event during the voyage, The Resolute will have the opportunity to change their mind about the resolution they made at the start of the voyage.

This means that a resolute who originally decided to become a permanent ghost could change to become a permanent human, or vice versa. Thought you had The Resolute all figured out? Watch out, as they could change right before your eyes!

Go on a sailing adventure during Soggy Hogmanay, and each day there is a chance you may encounter the ‘Fastest First Foot’ event, inspired by the Hogmanay tradition of First Footing. As the crew return from an adventure on a deserted treasure island, they race to see who has the honour of first footing the pirate ship. Those pirates who make it back first are granted good fortune for the coming voyage - and will be given a higher rank on the ship accordingly! Have your devices at the ready and press a button as soon as it appears, and any pirate has the chance of seizing the rank of captain!

Rumour has spread of a mysterious monster at sea... what could it be? Is it even real? During Soggy Hogmanay, if you scour the seven seas enough, you might catch a glimpse of a very special creature!

Check your bounty board after every voyage, because your time spent at sea might unveil a very special reward for you and your crew. You only have until the end of Soggy Hogmanay to complete the bounty, so make sure you make a new year's resolution to spend more time sailing than ever before!
