Ahoy, captain! Captain Paprika needs your quick fingers to win back the treasure Blackbeard stole — and to beat every rival on the seven seas! POP THE RIGHT COLOR The rules are simple: pop the balloons the mission asks for. Right balloons fill the bar, wrong ones cost a heart. Fill the bar to clear the level — but watch out, the balloons get faster and the tricks get smarter. LIVE VS RACES Take on real players in fast head-to-head races. First to win 3 of 5 rounds takes the match, and every round is faster than the last. Lost? Ask for a rematch! CLIMB THE LEAGUES Win trophies and climb from the Crew League through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond all the way to the Captains League. Every new league pays a gold reward — and you never drop out of a league you've reached. COLLECT YOUR CREW Blackbeard scattered Captain Paprika's crew. Rebuild your island to bring them home, collect them as cards and level them up. Each crew member has a special power and carries their own skills into battle. POWER BALLOONS Rainbow, ×2 Fill, Slow-Down and Bomb balloons turn the tide. Upgrade them and choose which ones each crew member takes into a race. 160 LEVELS, 4 WORLDS, GIANT BOSSES Sail from the Caribbean to Antarctica, the Rainforest and Outer Space. Face the Kraken, the Storm Cloud, Blackbeard's Ship and many more bosses, and complete the treasure map piece by piece. BUILD YOUR OWN ISLAND Give your island a name, rebuild the docks, the lighthouse and the fortress, place decorations and build the vehicle that takes you to the next world.
