Deg urar n tezrawt Sea Hero Quest, ilaq ad smektin yimurar askar s yiɣewwaren, sakin ad rnun iẓrem ɣur-sen, yerna tikwal ad ssutren tifawt s umata ɣer tazwara [1]. Urar-nneɣ d win-nneɣ: tmazeɣt n yiserdun deg yiḍ, yesɛa iskaren-is d yilugan-is. Yegra-d sin n yiswiren n tezrawt: acḥal n teɣzi n ubrid-ik ɣer teɣzi n ubrid ameẓẓyan, akked acḥal i tettwexleḍ deg ummeslay-ik.

How this test works

This game looks at two parts of finding your way: reaching places you saw on a map by a short route, and keeping track of where you started. Each level shows a maze map with your tent and numbered flags. Then you walk to the flags in the dark, seeing only a small circle of light, and point back to your tent. You score route efficiency and pointing error. The navigation game Sea Hero Quest used similar measures in 2018.
