How to Play Kwéyòl Directions: a Saint Lucian Kwéyòl Map Game

By Nigel Shomari Nicholas, founder of Jwé Kwéyòl

Goal

Give directions in Saint Lucian Kwéyòl to walk your marker across Saint Lucia, on a journey of 5 towns.

How to play

You'll see where you are, which way you face (the arrow), and the next town (🏁).
Tap the Kwéyòl phrase tiles to build your directions, or tap ⌨️ Type to write them.
Press Alé! and your marker walks your route.
Missed? You get a second try, then the game shows you one right way.

Scoring

Reaching a town on your first try earns 100 points, or 50 on your second. Using the fewest phrases adds 50.

Timer

There's no countdown: take your time and plan your route.

Levels

Beginner

Short trips of 2 to 4 phrases. Every tile shows its meaning in English, and a dashed line shows your route as you build it.

Intermediate

Trips of 3 to 6 phrases. The tiles are in Kwéyòl only: touch and hold a tile to see its meaning. The dashed route line still helps.

Advanced

Trips of 5 to 9 phrases, Kwéyòl only, and no route line: picture the route in your head.

Tips

The phrases are tou dwèt (go straight), tounen asou lanmen gòch (turn left), tounen asou lanmen dwèt (turn right) and witounen (go back). Typing kontiné (continue) also goes straight.
Left and right depend on which way your marker is facing, not on the map. Watch the arrow.
Turning also moves you one step in the new direction.
Each square of the map is about 3 km. Stepping into the sea stops your marker.
Pinch the map, or use the + button, to zoom in.
