Turn off coordinates, wander into the wild, then find your way home.
Your coordinates have vanished. The sun is moving. Can you find home with nothing but your wits?

- Time 30–45 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Note your base camp coordinates, then switch them off and wander into the wild, noting turns, landmarks and the sun. When you're properly lost, navigate home using only the sun, a compass and the landmarks you remember. Switch coordinates back on to see how close you got.
Finish line: You found your way home without coordinates, or gave up honestly, and you know which clues helped.
Bonus challenge: Use your walking time to guess how far from home you wandered, then check it with coordinates. How close was your guess?
You’ll need
- A compass
- Food
- A timer
You choose
- Which way I'll head out
- The clue I trust most: sun, compass or landmarks
- My give-up rule
Stuck?
- Show Coordinates is a world setting you can switch off and on at any time.
- A compass points to the world spawn, which may not be your base camp.
- The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so start in the morning to use it as a guide.
