Play Battleship with a friend, online
Play Battleship head-to-head in your browser. Create a room, send the link to your opponent, and place your fleet — no download, no install.
Battleship is a two-player game: one room, two seats. Shots and hits are resolved by the server, so neither player can see the other board.
How multiplayer works
- Create a room — choose Battleship, set the number of seats, and leave the entry fee at $0 for free play.
- Share your room code (or the room link) with the person you want to play.
- They join — the game starts automatically the moment every seat is filled.
Both players need a free Arcadia account.
Rooms are free to play by default — hosts can optionally set an entry fee, and the full pot goes to the winner.
