A slow, social game for Discord. A whole server grows one tree together, collecting the fruit that falls from it and catching the bugs nearby for a Pokédex-style sticker book.
Something to look after together
Most of what a server does together is talk. I wanted to give a community something to tend: one tree that belongs to everyone and only grows when people come back to water it.
It started as a simple side project. Then the players made it theirs:
- It helped people make friends, and even start relationships.
- Players wrote LaTeX papers on the most efficient way to play.
- They drew a lot of fan art.
- It spread to communities from creators like Beluga to brands like Logitech.

Bugs to catch
Bugs turn up around the tree for players to catch, and every one has a space waiting in the sticker book. Filling it is something a server does together.
A few of the bugs you can catch.
A tree for every season
The world around the tree changes through the year. Halloween brings its own spooky tree, candy corn, toffee apples and a 2026 stamp.
Fruit that falls from the tree, seasonal ones included.
Up through the sky
Grow it tall enough and the backdrop climbs with it: off the ground, into the sky, past the edge of space and up to the moon.
