The Pl@nt Game
The Plant Game is a participatory game aimed at producing large volumes of taxonomic data to improve our knowledge of biodiversity.
The game offers a double benefit:
-
learning, practicing, or improving your botany skills while having fun (with a skill progression system)
-
participating in a large-scale citizen science project on biodiversity
Three game modes are available:
-
Training, where you learn to differentiate new plants while allowing the system to evaluate your skills
-
The Plant Game, where you will be assigned various observations to identify—the correct species being unknown at the start—with an estimated complexity that adapts to your abilities
-
Duels, where you can challenge other players, either from your friends list or chosen randomly
Thanks to the results collected via these three game modes, the system will be able to determine the most probable species for the vast amounts of incorrect or uncertain observations provided as input, thus contributing to a better understanding of the distribution and evolution of plants across the French territory.
