How your garden works

Your garden is your own design. You heal it with power you earn by doing real things in Bonn. The real place you helped turns green on the city map.

Power comes from real quests

• Clean power from clean-ups and removing invasive plants.
• Water from care quests, your rain barrel (1 drop every 90 minutes) and real rain in Bonn, which fills it.
• Seeds from planting and nature-spotting quests, plus a few a day from your own grown flowers.
• Leaves count your real impact. They are never spent and they set your rank.

Your camera

• The camera is always one tap away, in the round button on every screen. See a bird, trash on the road, a leaking pipe: take the photo, say what it is, press Send. A real person checks it. If it helped you get a notification, and you collect your Leaves. We tell the city for you. Never touch anything dangerous.
• What I sent shows everything you handed in and where it is now. You find it in Quests, under your profile, and behind the bell.
• Bigger quests have a Start, an optional Middle and an End photo. Take each one when you get there. You can close the app in between, your photos stay.

Growing

• New plants are sprouts. When a blue drop shows, tap it to water: the plant grows to young, and 12 hours later to grown. Rain waters everything for free. Plants never die.
• Grown flowers drop seed bubbles. Tap them to collect (a few per day).
• Your crew does every job you order. Tap the job bubble to help and to watch from close up. 2 helpers at the start, a 3rd at rank 3, a 4th at rank 6, a 5th at rank 9. At night they sit by the campfire, late at night they sleep in the tree house, and in the day they climb up to the balcony to rest.
• Walk (in the round button): explore your garden up close, walk into seed bubbles to pick them, tap animals to meet them.
• The sky: keep dragging up and you end up looking into it. At night these are the real stars over Bonn, in their real places. Tap one to meet it. The cleaner your air, the more come out.
• Odd things: every day something strange waits in a quiet corner: a stone that rattles, fresh earth with crossed sticks, a glow in a stump. Listen, watch Pip, walk up and tap it open. Each treasure lights one more torch on the road to the cave.

The four scores

• Soil: clean litter and slabs, water bare ground.
• Water: remove oil and litter near the river, plant along the bank.
• Life: many kinds of plants, animal homes and visitors.
• Air: half your trees and clean ground, half how restored your home neighbourhood is on the Bonn map. Your neighbours help clear your sky.

The ring shows the Ecosystem score: the average of the four, pulled down by the weakest one. Balance matters.

Visitors, new land and trophies

• Bees, butterflies, birds and fish come when your garden has what they need. Special animals like the hedgehog or kingfisher only come after you found them in real life (a species card).
• Land in colour is yours to build on. Faded land you can walk and discover, and it wakes as you earn Leaves, as you heal, and where you step. Corners of your plot open at higher ranks: River bend at rank 3, Meadow corner at rank 5, Old orchard at rank 8.
• Real deeds earn trophies (bronze, silver, gold) you can place. Your tree house grows with your rank so visitors see what you have done.
