Snake.io is fun on its own, but it gets even more exciting when you bring your friends into the competition. Hosting your own Snake.io tournament is a great way to see who really has the skills to survive and be the top player. Here’s how to set up your own tournament with friends.

Step 1: Make Sure Everyone’s Game is Updated

First things first, make sure all players have the latest version of Snake.io installed. Party Mode is available on Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch versions of the game.

Step 2: Create or Join a Lobby

  • Open Snake.io and tap the “Party” icon.
  • One person hosts the game by creating a private lobby.
  • Share the lobby code with your friends so they can join.
  • On Nintendo Switch, instead of Party Mode, you can use the Local Multiplayer feature.

This makes sure everyone is in the same arena, ready to battle.

Step 3: Decide the Tournament Rules

To keep things fair and fun, set the rules before the games start. Some popular ways to run it:

  • Last Snake Standing – Whoever survives the longest in each round gets a point.
  • Length Master – The winner is whoever grows the longest snake within a set time.
  • Point Race – Play multiple matches and award points based on placement (1st = 5 points, 2nd = 3 points, etc.).

Step 4: Keep Score

Choose someone to act as the scorekeeper. You can use a simple notes app, a scoreboard in a group chat, or even a shared Google Doc to track who’s leading after each round.

Step 5: Add Fun Challenges

To spice things up, add side challenges such as:

  • Who can take down the most snakes in a single round
  • Who can pull off the craziest escape
  • Who dies in the funniest way (bonus points for creativity!)

Step 6: Crown the Champion

After the set number of rounds, tally the scores and announce your Snake.io champion. You can keep it casual with bragging rights, or go big by giving the winner a prize.

With the multiplayer feature, hosting a Snake.io tournament with friends is simple, competitive, and loads of fun. So grab your squad, share a lobby code, and get ready to climb your way to victory!
