Plant-Detective

Something is wrong with this plant. Figure out what. Customers keep bringing you their houseplants — and something is always off. A fern that won't perk up. A pothos gone strangely mushy. A flower that's started glowing. By the time you reach the plant with five eyes and a mouth, you'll wish the fern had been the weird one. Plant Detective is a cozy, methodical mystery game about listening to the evidence instead of guessing. For every case, you investigate six categories in order: Water → Soil → Light → Temperature → Roots → Pests Check each one to reveal a clue. Most clues are red herrings — something that looks suspicious but isn't the actual cause. Only one category holds the real answer. Piece it together, then submit your diagnosis. Get it right, and you save the plant (and earn more points the fewer clues you needed). Get it wrong, and you're back to the evidence board for another look. Cases start simple and get stranger. Your first few plants have ordinary problems — underwatering, overwatering, bad light. But it doesn't stay that way. Later cases introduce mineral-crystallized leaves, a beetle infestation with a mind of its own, a plant split into a perfect mirror image, a seemingly "perfectly healthy" plant hiding a problem no one thought to check for, and — if you make it that far — a flower that has genuinely torn a hole in reality. What you'll do: Investigate 10 increasingly bizarre plant cases (and counting) Reveal clues across six logical categories Spot red herrings and avoid jumping to conclusions Score points based on how efficiently you solve each case Meet plants that get progressively — and delightfully — more unhinged the further you get No timers, no fail states that end your run, no ads interrupting the investigation. Just you, a notebook full of clues, and a plant that really, really needs your help. Can you diagnose them all before the shop runs out of pots?
