THINK IT THROUGH
Cross dangerous environments over several days. There is no selection timer, so the pressure comes from choosing well and keeping your protection alive.
ABOUT ANIMAL ARENA
TWO GAMES. ONE ANIMAL ARENA.
Animal Arena is a browser game collection built around animals, choices and gloriously arguable outcomes. Play Beast Wars against friends or try to keep yourself alive in Protect Yourself.
BEAST WARS
Beast Wars is the competitive side of Animal Arena. Choose a battleground and territory, draft your beasts and send the packs into a series of fictional clashes. You can play on the same device or create a private online arena for friends.
The draft matters. A powerful animal is not automatically the right pick for every opponent, battleground or moment. Injuries, health and the animals still available can change what the best move looks like.

PROTECT YOURSELF
Protect Yourself puts you in the middle. A threat appears, you choose a group of animals to protect you and anything that survives stays with you for the next attack. Your protection can grow, take casualties and eventually be overwhelmed.
For an explanation of the story types, danger levels and animal choices, see how to play Protect Yourself.
RESCUE IS COMING
Hold out through a compressed 24-hour rescue window. Protector choices are timed and taking too long can leave you facing the next attack without fresh backup.
NO FINISH LINE
No rescue and no destination. Build your protection and see how long you can survive as the threats keep coming.
THE ANIMALS
Animal Arena uses a large roster from regions around the world, including land, water and sky specialists. The game mixes real animal characteristics with simplified ratings, roles and fictional battle logic so every choice can be understood quickly.
FOR FUN, NOT A SCIENCE CLAIM
Animal Arena is entertainment. Real animals are more complicated than game statistics and real encounters depend on behaviour, environment, health and countless other factors. A result in Beast Wars or Protect Yourself is not a prediction of what would happen in the wild and it is never an encouragement to make real animals fight.
PLAY TOGETHER
Beast Wars includes same-device play and private online rooms. Private arena codes are intended for people you choose to invite, not public matchmaking. Protect Yourself is a single-player survival game.
