How to Play

Here’s a step-by-step on how you play Grow A Garden | Growden.io:

1. Starting Out

• When you first enter the game, you will have a small farm plot and very basic seeds (for example carrot seeds costing ~$10 in-game).

• You’ll have an inventory for seeds and items, and a backpack/storage for harvested goods.

2. Planting Seeds

• Buy seeds from the seed shop (using in-game money).

• Click on the seed in your inventory to “hold” or equip it.

• Then click on a brown plot in your farm area to plant the seed.

3. Growing & Harvesting

• After planting, wait for the plant to grow. Time will pass (and perhaps other in-game events will occur) until the plant is fully grown.

• When it is grown, press E to harvest the plant.

• Once harvested, you can sell the crop at the shop when you choose.

4. Selling & Inventory

• Items you harvest go into your backpack or storage. Note: there is a capacity limit (100 items in your backpack).

• You can sell individual items, price them, or sell your full inventory. Keeping your inventory manageable is part of the strategy.

5. Progression & Upgrades

• As you accumulate money from selling crops, you unlock better seeds: e.g., strawberry seeds (~$50), blueberry seeds (~$100), tomato seeds (~$800) etc. The rarer the seed, the more money it costs and (typically) the more value it yields.

• Eventually you aim for very rare seeds (moon blossom, exotic fruit, etc) and higher earning plants.

6. Mutations & Weather Events

• The game includes weather events (Daytime, Nighttime, Desert, Rain, Frosty) which can trigger special “mutated” plants. These plants are worth more. Mutations include Silver, Golden, Rainbow, BIG (plants become huge) and are rarer.

7. Community / Multiplayer Elements

• Since this is an .io style game, you share rooms with other players. You can interact via chat, give gifts (some players gift expensive flowers or fruits).

• There is a risk of stealing in some rooms (you may get notified if another player steals from you). If a room is uncomfortable you can refresh to join a new room.

8. Controls

• Move: WASD or arrow keys.

• Jump: Spacebar.

• Interact (pick up plants, talk to shop/sell area): E.

• Camera: Hold the right mouse button and drag to move the camera around.

Tips & Strategy

• Stay logged in during your session—if you log out or refresh you may lose progress in that session.

• Manage your backpack effectively—since it has limited capacity, selling regularly keeps you from being blocked.

• Aim to plant higher-value seeds as soon as you can afford them, because they yield a better return.

• Take advantage of weather events and aim for mutated plants—they are rare but give significant value.

• Use the multiplayer/community aspect—watch for other players, maybe form alliances or avoid rooms with frequent stealing.

• For comfort and safety: don’t share personal info in chat, and if a room feels off, refresh and get a new one.
