Metaflora Game Rules
Everyone hunts the same Mystery Plant each day. Submit recognized names. Wrong guesses stay on the tree as evidence. A split at kingdom or a broad clade is cold; a shared order, family, or genus is warmer. Exact species wins. Everyday similarity is the trap: Metaflora scores evolutionary closeness, not garden vibes.
- Name Metaflora’s Mystery Plant within 25 guesses.
- Each miss grows a phylogenetic tree of shared ranks.
- Deeper shared taxonomy (family, genus) means closer.
- A new plant is chosen daily; this is not Metazooa’s animal hunt.
