Battleship Cache Builder

Make your own naval-duel geocache with a sharable play link.

Sign in to save this cache to your account

Free, just a username and passphrase, no email. Caches you build show up in My Caches so you can reopen and edit them without hunting for the edit link, and watch plays and wins. The same account syncs My Puzzle Texts across devices and manages your short links.

My Caches

Battleship is a naval-duel game. Players place their own five ships, then take turns firing on a hidden enemy fleet one cell at a time while the computer fires back at theirs. Sinking every enemy ship reveals your final coordinates or keyword. The enemy layout stays on the server and is dealt fresh for every player, so nothing is hidden in the page for someone to peek at.

There is nothing to configure about the board. Every Battleship cache is the classic 10x10 grid with the standard five-ship fleet (carrier, battleship, destroyer, submarine, patrol boat). The enemy fleet is dealt fresh on the server for every player, and the coordinates are released only when the server confirms all five enemy ships are sunk.
Anything you create here is public to anyone with the link, and you are responsible for what you publish. Keep a copy of your edit key, it is the only way to change or delete your puzzle later.

Your puzzle

Shown to players as a link to your cache page.

Only the site admin can see this, in case they need to reach you about your cache. Never shown to players.

On solve, reveal

Shown only after a player sinks the whole enemy fleet. Reveal either the final coordinates or a keyword, not both.

Where can I host an image for free?

Paste a direct https:// link to an image. Free image hosts that give a direct link include ImgBB, postimages.org, and Cloudinary. A geocaching.com image link works too. The link must start with https://.

Keep your cache in play to keep it live. Share the play link so people visit it; unused caches are cleaned up over time.
