About

Join the beloved German sprite, Pumuckl, in his new 3D puzzle adventure, Pumuckl and the Crown of the Pirate King! Players guide Pumuckl through challenging puzzle levels, enjoy fun mini-games, overcome difficult obstacles, and battle spooky enemies.

Man, Master Eder’s workshop is always a chaotic mess, especially when Pumuckl’s supposed to be cleaning! But while he was tidying, he found this weird bottle with a ship inside, and I swear, something was moving around in there! He just had to open it, right? Before he could even yell his usual “Darn bottle thing!”, he got sucked into this crazy vortex and ended up on the ship inside the bottle! It was totally wild!

He wakes up in a magical pirate world that is bigger than it could possibly fit inside any bottle.

I’m so excited to share what happens next! Pumuckl meets this really funny, but super forgetful, pirate captain named Captain Krimskrams. Captain Krimskrams needs Pumuckl’s help because the Pirate King put a curse on his ship and locked himself behind a magical door. The only way to get through is with golden doubloons, and Pumuckl and Captain Krimskrams need to find them so they can confront the king and break the curse! It’s a wild adventure!

Pumuckl and Captain Krimskrams travel to different worlds—like tropical islands, magical ruins, and an old pirate fortress—using a special doorway. Along the way, they’ll face challenges like puzzles, skeleton pirates, and traps set by mischievous kobolds, all mixed with fun mini-games. Their friend, the playful parrot Krakula, is there to either offer advice or enjoy the chaos!
