SharkBite is a PvP survival game where one team plays as sharks and the other fights to stay alive on a boat. Each round ends with a payout of Shark Teeth, the currency you spend in the shop on new weapons and items. This guide covers how rounds work, how to play both sides well, and how to unlock everything the game offers.
In shortEvery round follows the same loop — survive or hunt, collect Shark Teeth, then spend them before the next round starts.
When you join, you wait in the lobby until the game assigns you to a team. One side plays as the shark and the other as humans on a boat. The round ends when either the shark kills every player or the humans last until time runs out. At the end, you receive Shark Teeth, and you can spend them in the shop before the next round.
Wait in lobbythe game assigns your team automatically, so just hang on until it starts.
Learn your roleif you are human, check what weapon you have; if you are the shark, get a feel for moving through the water.

Collect your Shark Teethyour payout arrives at the end of the round.
Visit the shopspend Shark Teeth on weapons, items, or shark skins before the next round begins.
In shortHumans win by lasting the full round, so positioning and teamwork matter more than raw firepower.
Your main job is to stay on the boat and out of the water. The cannons on the Pirate Ship can hit the shark directly, and one well-placed final shot on the shark earns a special badge.
Tips worth knowing
Use the Pirate Ship's cannons by clicking on them — a cannonball hit counts toward a badge.
Being the player who lands the killing blow on the shark earns you the Last Shot badge.
In shortTwo hidden activities — the Sparks Kilowatt challenge and the Lennard quest — give you extra badges outside of normal rounds.
Beyond the main rounds, the game hides a couple of challenges worth tracking down. The Sparks Kilowatt challenge involves an underwater fight, and the Lennard quest sends you to a place called the Oasis. Both reward badges you cannot get through regular play.

What to buy with Shark Teeth
Tips
In shortSpend Shark Teeth on the items that match how you actually play, and save up patiently for bigger purchases.
The shop lets you trade Shark Teeth for weapons and shark skins. Skins change how your shark looks but do not change how it performs. The Titanic is the sturdiest boat in the game — buying it earns the Unsinkable badge, and owning every available boat earns the Golden Boat badge.
Tips worth knowing
Shark skins are cosmetic only.
The Titanic requires a large amount of Shark Teeth, so treat it as a long-term goal.
Buying every boat currently in the store unlocks the Golden Boat badge.
