Sinister Box 2024 Promotion

During this Sinister Box Promotion, players will receive a "mystery box" gift with purchases of $9.99 or more made between 10:00 AM PDT on October 18, 2024, and 3:00 PM PDT on November 1, 2024. This promotion is open to players using whichever payment method they prefer (including credit card, Paypal, Paymentwall, and checks and money orders). Purchases of either doubloons or subscriptions during the promotion period are eligible. You can be certain that your purchase qualifies if an image of a Sinister Box shows up next to your chosen package on the subscription or doubloon billing page when you go to make your purchase.

Your mystery gift will be redeemable on any one pirate associated with your account. If you made your qualifying purchase while logged in to the game, you might need to log out and back on again for it to appear. Available mystery gift items include...

  • Moonlight Mollusks
  • Moonlight Dragons
  • Moonlight Winged Cats
  • Moonlight Monsters
  • Moonlight ships

Clothing rewards do NOT include rags and are of 'Good' quality or better.

In addition to the mystery gift, every participant of the 2024 Sinister Promotion will also receive a commemorative “Penumbral Pumpkin" trophy!

The prize ship will be docked at your home island. LE**Painted ships are standard ships and thus do not have a special "Limited Edition" icon on their dock/vessel image.
