Live Kingston, on your phone

Walk Kingston and meet its people.

Devon at the kerb

Devon meets you at the kerb on the First Day. Answer in Patwa; tap Show English for the meaning.

Draft Patwa, awaiting review by Jamaican speakers.

The game on a phone: Devon, the route taxi driver, says “Wah gwaan, mi friend? Yuh reach!” and four Patwa replies wait below: “Mi deh yah.”, “Respect, boss.”, “Mi soon come.” and “Move.”
The same moment in the game.
The game on a phone: the traveler crosses the street toward Miss Hyacinth, who waves from her patty window. The objective reads “Walk to Miss Hyacinth’s patty window”.The game on a phone after the ride in: the conversation is saved, Devon is warming up and will remember how it went, with buttons to keep exploring or try a quick practice.

What live Kingston is

A real-time, walkable 3D Kingston: you move through the street Devon dropped you on and meet him, Miss Hyacinth, Maas Bertie, and Miss Merlene in the flesh. Everything JaLingo does is in the app now: the Kingston week, all 14 parishes on the island map, the stamps in your passport, and daily practice.
