How to play

Turn the compass and read a symbolic direction. Each of the four directions has its own reflective question.

What selects the result

This compass does not use a magnetometer, GPS or your location. North, east, south and west are random themes, not instructions for where to walk, travel or move home.

An everyday example

A direction about warmth could mean making time for a friendly conversation. A direction about steady footing could mean preparing tomorrow’s bag. Interpret the theme through your actual circumstances.

Keep, save or start again

After the reveal, read the whole message before choosing Play again. Save card downloads an image to your device; it does not post to social media. Replaying does not improve your luck or reveal an objectively correct answer. Stop whenever you have had enough, and use your own information and judgement for important decisions.
