About the Game

🧭 Master the Rules of the Road

Watchstander: COLREGS/Rules of the Road Training Administrator is a focused quiz-based training tool built for officer candidates, midshipmen, and maritime students preparing for navigation and seamanship exams.

This standalone app presents randomized multiple-choice questions derived from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). Track your progress over time and build the confidence to recognize correct maneuvering decisions — under pressure.

Key Features

• Massive Test Bank of official COLREGs-based questions
• Randomized test sets for repeated practice
• Score tracking with rolling average and high score
• Focused only on Rules of the Road (no ship handling)
• Works offline — ideal for use in classrooms or underway
• Lightweight: no GPU required

Built For

• U.S. Navy and Coast Guard officer candidates
• NROTC and USNA midshipmen
• Maritime academy and merchant marine students
• Navigation instructors and exam prep tutors
• Self-studiers preparing for licensing or SWO boards

Shared Development

This trainer is developed in parallel with the full Watchstander simulator and receives updates to its COLREGS question bank and scoring engine when improvements are made to the primary game.

If you’re looking for just the test practice — this is it.

If you want bridge simulation, radar, or watchstanding environments, check out the full Watchstander simulator.
