About MariQuest

MariQuest started with a simple observation: most maritime training is passive. You read, you memorise, you sit an exam. Then you go on watch — and the rules need to be instinct, not memory.

We built MariQuest to change that. Short, scenario-based games that force you to apply the rules under time pressure — the way they'll need to work at sea.

COLREGs Quest was developed in close collaboration with Columbia Ship Management, one of the world's leading ship management companies. Their maritime experts validated every scenario, every rule interpretation, every answer.

When Columbia trusts the content, you can too.

MariQuest is built on established learning principles: retrieval practice, spaced repetition, and scenario-based learning — the same approach validated in Kolb's experiential learning cycle. Short, frequent game sessions consistently outperform long passive study in retention research.

The result: officers who don't just recall the rules, but apply them instinctively.

MariQuest is a product of 4Growth, a Dutch learning technology company. We build gamified learning platforms for practical professions — because knowing something and being able to do it are two different things.
