Captain a turn-based expedition to visit every port while exploring as much of the map as possible. The creator describes a new daily map released at 00:00 UTC.

How the game works

Arrow keys move in the four cardinal directions; additional layouts support an eight-point compass. The instructions distinguish sailing at 45 or 90 degrees to the wind.

A practical starting point

A port visit may provide information about local crews, wind or land. The optional leaderboard uses a separate NEAR testnet account; it is not required to follow the route puzzle.
