Portal:Puzzles/Intro

Avast! What would Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates be without the puzzles? Puzzles are used to accomplish almost every player action in the game from Bilging, Sailing, and Carpentry, to Foraging, Swordfighting, and Drinking. Many of these puzzles are based off of templates from older flash games found online in past years while others are completely original ideas from the staff of Three Rings Design, Inc. or players themselves.

Puzzles may either be single player in the case of ship board duty puzzles and crafting puzzles, or multi-player in the case of carousing puzzles and parlor games. Performance in a puzzle grants each player a level of ranking (based on lifetime overall score) and experience (based on lifetime overall time or number of plays).

Performance in popular puzzles is often used to designate "elite" or "talented" pirates however these designations will vary from ocean to ocean and between different social circles.
