# Private rooms

Everyone lands in the public room. If you want a fight night with friends, make a private one. It uses the same free world and the same combat rules, it is hidden from the public list, and it holds twice as many spectators.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a room

On step 3 of the join screen open **Playing with friends? Private rooms**. Give the room a name, an optional password, and a player cap if you want one. Press **Create a room**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Share the code or the link

You get a six-letter code and a link like `https://arena.bawsaq.org/?room=ABCDEF`. Send either. A link opens the join screen with the code already filled in.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Friends join

They type the code under **Join with code**, add the password if you set one, and press **Enter Los Santos**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
A private room closes ten minutes after the last person leaves. Arena rounds run in the public world only; a private room is Free Roam.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bawsaq.org/playing/private-rooms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
