Brace yourself for swashbuckling puzzle action as you pillage your way to glory across the briny deep! Create and customize a pirate, collect booty, and join a player-run crew of cutthroats!

Swordfighting just got a whole new edge! With the addition of Swordfight Duels, pirates can now go blade-to-blade n' watch the whole fight unfold. Both puzzle boards are visible throughout the duel, so ye can track your opponent's moves as closely as yer own.

Dueling mode is available fer challenges, tournaments, and table games. If ye'd rather watch than wield a blade, head to the Notice Board n' spectate any duel in progress, or catch up on the 30 most recently completed duels to see who's a cut above the rest.

Sharpen your blade ye scallywags! — the ocean's watching.

Summer squalls are rolling across the seas wreaking havoc on cargo shipments from exotic locals throughout the ocean. Several ships have found themselves crashing against the rocky outcroppings surrounding islands, washing ashore valuable wreckage from these unusual ships.

We’ve gathered together some of the more unusual items found amongst the wreckage and added them to the Tempest Mystery Box. Phantom Sea Monkeys, Sea Bats, Sea Foxes, Deepwater Crabs, Rumjug Pets, Chunk o’ Sea Glass, 'n more can be found amongst the strange flotsam.

From 10:00 AM PDT on August 21, 2026 until 3:00 PM PDT on August 31, 2026 you'll receive a free Tempest Mystery Box for every $9.99 you spend on doubloons, or every month of subscription time you purchase!
