Battleship is the simplest game on the LovePlay roster: you place ships on a 10×10 grid, your partner places theirs on another phone, you take turns guessing cells. Hit. Miss. Hit again. The difference is that every ship hides a task. Sink one and a modal opens on the other phone with the dare written under that ship. They perform — strip an item, do a wish, run a foreplay command. Then their turn.
The default deck is 41 stock strip items split by gender (21 female, 20 male) — different clothing categories so the strip path stays varied. Custom mode replaces that with whatever you and your partner want to write. Anything goes inside 140 characters per card.
How the game actually works
Three things make Battleship 18+ different from every strip-battleship variant you've seen online:
1. Two phones, two devices, no screen-share
One person creates a match and gets a 6-character code. Partner enters the code on their phone and joins. From that point both phones run the same match in real time — your grid is yours, theirs is theirs. Works in the same room. Works from different cities. Long-distance couples get the same game as in-person couples, no awkward workarounds.
2. Every ship hides a task — not a ship animation
Sinking a ship doesn't just check a box. The task tagged to that ship reveals on your partner's phone. They have to actually do it. Strip an item, perform a foreplay command, fulfill a written wish — whatever the deck says. The grid is just the timer; the task is the game.
3. Real match state — pause, resume, save
Matches live in the database. You can pause mid-game, walk away, finish in the morning. Premium accounts save unlimited matches; free accounts save a few. The 6-char code is your shareable lobby — partner joins from wherever.
Two presets, picked at match start
Preset 1: Stripping (stock)
10 strip tasks are pulled from a curated deck of 41 items, distributed across your 10 ships randomly. Tasks are gender-aware — the deck knows which 21 female items and which 20 male items to draw from. Before the match starts, you can edit or replace any of the 10 to match your actual wardrobe. Wearing jeans tonight? Swap "remove dress" for "remove jeans." No bra? Swap that line. The deck honors what you're actually wearing.
Sample female pull: remove dress, remove blouse, remove tights, remove earrings, remove heels, remove necklace, remove blazer, remove panties, take down hair, remove watch.
Sample male pull: remove shirt, remove jeans, remove belt, remove watch, remove shoes, remove necklace, remove jacket, remove underwear, remove ring, remove socks.
Preset 2: Wishes (custom)
You write your own 10 tasks per side. Two authoring modes inside this preset:
- On your own ships — what you commit to doing if a ship of yours gets sunk. "I'll give you 60 seconds of edging," "I'll let you choose the next position."
- On partner's ships — what you want them to do when you sink theirs. "Tell me your wildest fantasy in detail," "60 seconds of dirty talk before we move."
The hard cap is 140 characters per card — enough for a clear instruction, short enough to keep the pace moving.
How to build a great Wishes deck
- Agree on hard limits first. Before writing a single task, list 3–5 acts that don't go on any ship — anything that has caused a real argument before, anything one partner isn't ready for. Battleship reveals a task at random, so a hard limit on a ship is a worse problem than on a Truth or Dare card.
- Decide the heat distribution. 10 ships. How many mild, how many spicy, how many explicit? A common split is 4 mild (compliments, slow kisses, undressing one item), 4 spicy (oral teasing, dirty talk, partner-led foreplay), 2 explicit (extended oral, edging, dom/sub turn).
- Mix shore and ship. Use both authoring modes. Put commitments on your own ships ("I'll let you direct my hands for 3 minutes") and asks on partner's ships ("Tell me what you've been thinking about all week"). Mixing makes the game feel collaborative.
- Write specific, not generic. "Kiss me for 30 seconds on the spot I name" beats "kiss me." "Edge me with your hands for 2 minutes — no climax" beats "edge me." Specificity removes negotiation mid-game and keeps the energy moving.
- Save the deck. Premium accounts save unlimited custom decks. Build one for date nights, one for anniversaries, one for long-distance video calls. Each deck loads in seconds.

Best practices for memorable matches
- Don't stack explicit on the smallest ship. The 1-cell ship is the hardest to sink. If you put the steamiest dare there, you may never see it. Spread the spicy ones across mid-size ships (3-cell, 2-cell) so they actually trigger.
- Pace the strip with the stock preset. 10 items of clothing on each side means the game ends roughly when one of you is fully undressed. If you wear less to start, ships drain faster — escalation goes physical sooner.
- Mix presets across sessions. Run one session on the Stripping preset to warm up. Run the next on Wishes — same partner, different game. The two modes don't replace each other; they trade off depending on mood.
- Use the pause feature. A match isn't a one-shot. Pause when you need to. Resume the next morning, the next week. The grid waits.
- Replay deck variations. When a Wishes deck hits, save it. Tweak 2–3 cards next session. Don't rebuild from scratch — iterate.
- Custom decks beat stock for repeat play. The 41-item stock deck is great for first plays. After two or three matches you'll know what you actually want — that's when Wishes mode pays off.
Battleship 18+ is the most physical of LovePlay's games. Truth or Dare gives you cards. Sexopoly gives you a board. Battleship gives you a 10×10 grid with consequences for every hit. The stock 41-item deck covers wardrobe play; the Wishes preset covers everything else. Pick your phone, place your ships, send the code.
