Play Gomoku with a friend, online
Play Gomoku head-to-head in your browser. Create a room, share the link, and take turns placing stones until someone lands five in a row — no download, no install.
Gomoku is a two-player game: one room, two seats. The server validates every placement and detects the win.
How multiplayer works
- Create a room — choose Gomoku, 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.
