How does the Daily Plant Challenge work?

A new mystery plant is revealed every day at midnight UTC. You identify the correct species from four multiple-choice options. You get one pick and it stands; a correct one builds your streak, and you can track your progress and share results over time.

Do I need an account to play?

No — anyone can play today's challenge free, no account needed. A free account saves your results, builds your streak across days, lets you pick a personal track, and puts you on the leaderboard.

When does the daily challenge reset?

A new plant challenge is available every day at midnight UTC. On the classic challenge, everyone around the world gets the same plant on the same day — or you can switch to a personal track and get your daily plant from a themed set instead.

What plants are included in the challenge?

The classic challenge draws from a database of over 8,500 plants including trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and houseplants. Plants range from common garden species to less familiar botanical specimens.

Can I choose which plants appear in my daily challenge?

Yes. Pick a track to draw your daily plant from a themed set — fragrant plants, pollinator favourites, conifers, edible gardens, botanical-garden collections, and more — or from one of your own plant collections with 20+ photographed plants. Switch tracks or return to the classic challenge anytime in your Daily Plant settings.

How It Works

From a single photo to a plant you’ll never forget — here’s the daily loop

Step 1

Observe the Plant

Each day’s mystery plant opens on a close-up detail. Study the leaves, flowers, and growth habit — zoom out for a wider look if you need a hint.

Step 2

Make Your Choice

Pick the right species from four names — or switch to Expert and type the genus yourself. Use what you know about plant families and features.

Step 3

Learn and Grow

The reveal names the plant, shows how to tell it apart next time, and adds it to your streak. Miss a day? One slip a month is forgiven.

Choose Your Plants

Draw your daily plant from a themed track — fragrant plants, natives, houseplants — or from a set you build yourself.

Test Your Limits

Start on a tight close-up and zoom out for hints, or switch to Expert and type the genus with no options at all.

Play Anytime

A countdown to your next plant at local midnight, and every past puzzle waiting in the archive to practice.

Keep Your Streak Safe

Playing is free, no account needed. Sign up to save your results, build a streak, pick your own track, and compete on the leaderboard.
