HOW IT WORKS

Go. Look. Write.

  1. 01

    Start in Kortrijk

    Every career begins in Kortrijk, a market town in western Belgium where rail lines fan out toward Lille, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges and the North Sea coast.

  2. 02

    Wander

    Trains, buses and ferries run on real timetables. Where you go next is entirely up to you.

  3. 03

    Find a story

    Walk the streets in Street View and photograph the places worth writing about.

  4. 04

    File your dispatch

    Submit your photos to the magazine and get paid in cash. The week's best dispatches run in the Worldboard Weekly.

WHAT'S IN THE GAME

A world full of surprises

  • Street View photography

    Frame the places you find in Street View, from wherever you're standing.

  • Cover the map

    Every dispatch counts toward the region you filed it from. Work a region and its coverage tier rises, and the higher tiers pay a bonus.

  • The Worldboard Weekly

    The week's best dispatches run in a public travel magazine anyone can read.

  • Real transit

    Trains, buses and ferries run on real timetables. A missed connection means waiting for the next departure.

  • At your own pace

    No race and no rivals. Save any time and pick your career back up later.

  • Runs in the browser

    Desktop browser, no download.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

FAQ

Is it free to play?

Yes — Worldboard is free to play. Members play ad-free and, in most games, can speed the game clock up all the way to 80×; you can become a member any time from the shop.

Do I have to physically travel?

No. You move an avatar on real map and timetable data, entirely in your browser. Your real location is never tracked — every position in the game is the one you chose.

Is there a winner?

No. There's no race and no finish line: it's a career you build at your own pace, one dispatch at a time.

What is the Worldboard Weekly?

A weekly travel magazine built from players' dispatches. Anyone can read it, signed in or not.

Is the game finished?

No. Wanderlusters is in alpha: the game is still being designed, and it will change as it grows.
