Fifteen mystery houseplants, five escalating clues each, and the answer printed upside-down so nobody can cheat. Play solo, at a party (5 points on clue one down to 1), or in the group chat. Three difficulty leagues, two tiebreakers, four-player scorecards, and a cut-out winner's rosette. You think you're guessing — you're learning to read a leaf.

Who's behind this
I'm not a botanist, and I don't have 150 plants — I keep a windowsill's worth, and I've killed a few learning how (a Calathea in eleven days is how this whole thing started). When something goes wrong I go down the rabbit hole: the studies, the extension-horticulture pages, the 2am forum threads, and every horror story plant people send in on @leafjournal on TikTok. These guides are that mix — hands-on experience checked against the research, cleaned up and told straight. No lab, no sponsorships, no “trust me.” Just what actually keeps a plant alive, so yours isn't the one that learns it the hard way.
