The Pl@nt Game
The Plant Game is a participatory game aimed at producing large amounts of taxonomic data to improve our knowledge of biodiversity.
The game has two main purposes:
-
to learn, practice or improve your botany skills while having fun (with a skill progression system)
-
to participate 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 abilities
-
The Plant Game, where you will be assigned different observations to identify, the correct species not being known initially, and whose complexity estimated by the system adapts to your abilities
-
Duels, where you can challenge other players among your friends or chosen randomly
Thanks to the results collected via these three game modes, the system will be able to determine the most probable species of the large masses of incorrect or uncertain observations given to it as input and thus contribute to a better understanding of the distribution and evolution of plants in France.
