🌳 THE PARK

the fine print, in green

what is this place?

In 1999 I drew a little banana that never stopped dancing. It has a park now — a free browser game, no account, and every banana walking around is a real visitor, live.

The catch: the park can die. One shared health meter, always sinking. The night it opened I set it to 5% and sixty weeds — by morning, two regulars had it back at 100%.

what do you actually do here?

plant

Seeds cost coins, grow on watered days, and wear your name on the stake.

water anybody’s

The whole park runs on strangers watering each other’s beds. +2 rep a pour.

harvest

Ripe pays rep and pockets a seed for your homestead. Some bushes fruit three times.

tidy

Weeds, litter, pond scum — every piece cleared lifts the meter, every piece left holds it down.

find eggs

Healthy parks lay them; above 95% they can come out golden. First tap wins.

meet the locals

Old Peel has opinions. Twelve bird species visit by health. Both shops are inside the world.

the meter

how park health works

• It sinks on its own. Watering, planting and tidying push it back.
• Mess caps the ceiling. No 100% while there’s litter on the grass or scum on the pond.
• The park shows it. Below 60 the colour drains and the animals mope; above 80 the rare birds and the eggs come back.

the ladder

seeds, stars and the gardener

Every harvest climbs your gardener level; the level raises the seed shelf.

Stars mean two things: a living plant feeds the park by its stars, and starrier plants last longer between waterings. The strawberry and the grapevine regrow — three picks per plant.

The park is the crossroads: the rave down the south road, Banana Bay out east — and everything you earn lands on your pass.

questions

frequently asked

Is The Park free to play?

Yes — free, in the browser, no account. Your banana walks straight in through the gate.

What do you do in The Park?

Keep a shared garden alive: plant, water other people’s beds, pull weeds, tidy, spot birds, hunt eggs. Everything nudges the health meter.

What is park health?

One number, 0–100, shared by everyone. It sinks on its own; tending pushes it back. A park nobody tends visibly dies.

Can you play with other people?

Yes — every banana is a real visitor, live, and the garden is shared. The meter is the whole park’s score, not yours.

How do you unlock better seeds?

Harvest. Three harvests unlock three-star seeds, eight unlock four, fifteen unlock five — and thirty opens the six-star exotic tier.

How do you get to The Park?

Dress a banana in the free builder and walk in. The rave and the bay are one road away.
