How Grove works

Rules and Q&A for players — the same guide you see in the app under Rules & Q&A.

Grove turns reading and learning into a game. Read for real, prove what you learned, and your trees grow. Everything below is free to play — Seeds only speed things up.

Rules

How the game works — from reading and quizzes to the daily Reading Meadow.

  1. 1. The core loop

    1. Open a course (plant a seed from your library, pick one from Discover, or use Learn anything). 2. Read each page attentively — the Focus meter must fill before you can quiz. 3. Answer the questions. Correct answers grow your tree and earn XP and Seeds. 4. Come back to Water your Grove when reviews are due — that keeps knowledge fresh.

  2. 2. Seeds, XP & streak

    Seeds (💎) are Grove currency — spend them on Learn anything courses or optional boosts. You earn Seeds by reading, daily games, quests, and invites. XP tracks how much you have learned. Your reading streak grows when you learn most days; protect it in the Reading Meadow with the Lantern shield or by feeding Korvi.

  3. 3. Growing trees

    Each course is a tree in your Grove. Progress through pages and quizzes to advance its stage (🌱 → 🌿 → 🪴 → 🌳). Share a course to the community feed so friends can enroll. Use Improve course to edit lessons and questions you generated.

  4. 4. Water your Grove

    When the Water card shows a badge, spaced-repetition reviews are due. Open it, answer quick recall questions, and keep your mastery — and streak — healthy. Skipping too long lets trees get "thirsty".

  5. 5. Reading Meadow (daily)

    Visit once a day for bonus rewards: • Reading Well — fetch water and build a daily streak • Oil Pump — fills while you read elsewhere; collect fuel for Seeds • Lantern — shield your streak from fading sunlight • Korvi the pet — feed with Seeds to guard your streak overnight • River Dam — maintain weekly for bonus Seeds • Daily Spin, quests, and treasure chests

  6. 6. Page Merge

    Merge matching reading tiles on the board to level them up and earn Seeds. Tap one tile, then tap a matching neighbour to merge. Spawn new tiles when you have room — merges get harder (and more rewarding) at higher levels.

  7. 7. Fair play — Focus meter

    You cannot skip straight to the quiz. The Focus meter needs real reading time and scroll coverage. Skimming to the bottom without reading keeps the button locked. This keeps scores and leaderboards honest.

  8. 8. Compete & community

    Climb the Raevennaire board on courses you have finished. Comment on course pages — helpful comments can earn Seeds when others like them. Invite friends with your code; you both benefit when they finish their first course.

  9. 9. Learning reminders

    In Settings → Learning reminders you can turn on daily reading quotes and a weekly recap of what you mastered. These are gentle nudges to keep growing — not spam.

Q&A

Tap a question to expand the answer.

How do I go back while reading a course?+
Tap the ← arrow in the top-left of the screen. It returns you to My Grove, or to the previous screen if you navigated from the feed or library.
Why is the quiz button still locked?+
The Focus meter tracks both scroll coverage and active reading time. Scroll through the full page and stay on it for a few seconds — the "I've read this" button unlocks when both are satisfied.
Do I have to pay to play Grove?+
No. Reading, courses, daily meadow games, reviews, and the leaderboard are free. Buying Seeds is optional and only speeds up things like generating new courses.
What are Seeds for?+
Main uses: generating a "Learn anything" course, optional lantern boost (6 Seeds), feeding Korvi (4 Seeds), and similar convenience boosts. You also receive a small monthly grant and can earn Seeds from quests, spins, merge, and reading.
How do I plant a course from my own document?+
On My Grove, tap Plant a seed under Your trees, pick a document from your library, and Grove builds paginated lessons with quizzes. Or open a document in the reader and use Test what you read when offered.
What is "Learn anything"?+
Type any topic or question and Grove generates a full gamified course — lessons, flashcards, and quizzes. It costs Seeds; you see the price before you confirm. After generation you can share it or improve it in the editor.
When should I water my Grove?+
Whenever the Water your Grove card shows a number badge. Those are due reviews from courses you have studied. Doing them on time strengthens memory and protects streaks.
Why did my daily meadow action say "Done" or "Done today"?+
Most meadow stations reset once per day (or week for the dam). You have already claimed today's reward — come back tomorrow for the Well, Spin, and similar actions.
How does the Oil Pump work?+
It passively fills while you read in courses or the library. When enough fuel is stored, tap Collect fuel on the meadow screen for a Seed payout.
What does feeding Korvi do?+
Korvi costs 4 Seeds per feed. Fullness rises, Korvi can level up, and your reading streak is guarded overnight if you skip a day. Feed once daily in the Reading Meadow.
What happens if I get a quiz wrong?+
Wrong answers are learning moments — you see the explanation, and the tree still grows, just a bit slower. Grove does not harshly punish mistakes.
How do invites work?+
Share your invite code from My Grove. When a friend signs up with it and finishes their first course, you both earn bonus Seeds.
Can I turn off sounds or notifications?+
Yes. Grove sounds are under Settings → Grove. Learning reminders (quotes and weekly recap) are under Settings → Learning reminders.
