# Stay in Tarkov (SPT/Fika) Server Guides (/docs/stay-in-tarkov)

Stay in Tarkov is the community-driven way to play Escape from Tarkov with friends using the SPT (Single Player Tarkov) framework and the Fika multiplayer mod. SPT replaces Tarkov's official servers with a local Node.js server that handles profiles, raids, traders, and progression, while Fika adds peer-to-peer multiplayer so you can raid together. These guides will help you get your XGamingServer Stay in Tarkov server set up and running.
