A game about hanging a man just seemed so barbaric. Instead, we made a game about a pirate forcing someone to walk the plank. When the victim reaches the end, they fall into the water and a shark eats them. Far more civilized! At least, that's what the pirate told us.

Parents, do not worry... To keep the game safe for younger players, we never show the shark devouring anyone.

In easy mode, it takes 9 guesses for the victim to walk off the plank. In regular mode, it only takes 6 incorrect guesses. Easy mode is the default mode.

This free Hangman game can be played in six languages : English (US), Spanish, German, Italian, French and Dutch.

Can you guess the mystery word without being eaten by the shark? Play the free game and find out!
