About Mesh Arcade

Mesh Arcade turns a Meshtastic radio into a games console. Challenge anyone on your LoRa mesh and play radio to radio: no internet, no phone signal, no accounts.

  • Five games played over the air: Tic-Tac-Toe, Four in a Row, Ships of Battle, Scrablah and heads-up Texas Hold'em (play chips only)
  • Only the moves cross the air, a few bytes each. Every move is confirmed and re-sent until it lands
  • Public channel and direct-message chat, including chat with your opponent inside the game
  • No accounts, analytics, ads or servers. Games and messages stay on your phone

Needs a Meshtastic radio with WiFi (Heltec V3, LilyGO T-Beam and others). Every game also works pass-the-phone on one device. Coming soon to Google Play.

Key features

Inside Mesh Arcade.

Five games, played over the air

Challenge anyone on the mesh. Ships of Battle keeps your fleet on your own phone and checks both fleets at the end; Scrablah carries a 172,000-word dictionary.

Built for LoRa

LoRa airtime is shared and scarce, so the app sends only the moves, confirms every one, and survives dropouts and restarts without losing the game.
