How to play — seed tray
A mystery seed tray for learning — not gambling. No coins, no login, no account.
- Spin or tap a soil circle on the tray below. Each cell is a surprise.
- Read what sprouted — a NZ plant (P), growing tip (T), guild idea (★), or weed moment (W).
- Scroll down to “Your grower progress”. Every P is saved in your herbarium and earns spores. Your first plant starts on the windowsill.
- Water the windowsill to grow that plant: 4 waters in total, about once every 20 hours (~3 days to fully grown). Each water gives +1 spore.
- Come back later — progress is stored in this browser on this device (no cloud sync). The quiz also adds spores when you finish a run.
- Plant feijoa, mānuka, comfrey…
- Jackpot guild & syntropic wins
- Tip compost, swales, frost checks
- Weed onion weed, mystery mould…
Educational fun only. Spores are a score — you don’t spend them yet. When you’re warmed up, try the full quiz or jump to your progress.
How to play — guild slot
Spin three reels — canopy, support, ground — and learn polyculture stacking. Not gambling.
- Spin the reels — each column pulls a plant for that layer (with a small chance of a weed surprise).
- Read your combo — named guild match (+10 spores), three layers (+6), two layers (+3), or awkward/weed (+1).
- Plants save to your herbarium — scroll down to progress. Named guilds also land in your guild journal.
- Same progress as the tray — spores, herbarium, windowsill watering. Saved in this browser only.
Stack canopy + shrub/herb/vine + ground/root like a real food forest. Jump to your progress.
