The Mariner's Ticket is the Binnacle AI Arcade's cross-game progression and achievement system. Unlike single-game high scores, the Ticket aggregates your performance across all 32 arcade games into a unified maritime knowledge profile — showing not just your best scores, but which domains you've mastered and which need more sea time.
Rating progression
Your Ticket progresses through a rank structure mirroring the traditional maritime career ladder:
- Deckhand — Starting rank
- Able Seaman — Demonstrated competence in seamanship games
- Bosun — Strong performance across deck operations
- Third Mate — Proven navigation and COLREGS competence
- Second Mate — Cargo and safety knowledge demonstrated
- First Mate / Chief Mate — Comprehensive across all domains
- Master — Top-tier performance across the full arcade
Medals and achievements
Each game has its own medal system based on performance thresholds. Medals require genuine skill — reaching the top score tier in a game, completing all levels, or achieving a perfect score in a quiz game. Medals earned are displayed on your Ticket alongside your total games played, best scores, and current streak.
