Journey

Getting Started

Ten steps from your first tap to your first kingdom — the same path the in-game tutorial walks you through.

  1. 01

    Step 1 — Move around the world

    The map is the real world. Learn the two taps that do everything, and what the circle around you means.

  2. 02

    Step 2 — Gather wood, stone and more

    Trees, stone deposits and iron mines are scattered across the map. Everything you build starts here.

  3. 03

    Step 3 — Build a workshop and craft your first gear

    Common recipes work anywhere. The good ones — smelting, gear, meals — need a Personal Workshop on your own land.

  4. 04

    Step 4 — Fight your first creature

    Deer are gentle and drop the leather every flag needs. Wolves are not gentle. Learn the rhythm of a fight before you meet one.

  5. 05

    Step 5 — Plant a flag and build a home

    A flag claims the ground around it, gives you somewhere to teleport to, and is the only place your buildings can stand.

  6. 06

    Step 6 — Understand your land

    The tinted circle around your flag is yours. Here is what that protects, what it does not, and how other players can take it.

  7. 07

    Step 7 — Travel between your flags

    Menu ▸ Travel lists every place you can teleport to. Short hops are free; long ones cost Wayfeathers.

  8. 08

    Step 8 — Say hello, add a friend, fill in your profile

    The chat bar, your profile and the friends list are how Crownfront stops being a solo game.

  9. 09

    Step 9 — Settle in a city

    Cities are player-built places with a market, a treasury and an elected Mayor. We recommend starting in Manhattan.

  10. 10

    Step 10 — Where to go from here

    Kingdoms, skills, the forge, companions, the world boss. The tutorial ends; the game does not.
