Hidden Garden

Hidden Garden™ turns the botanical garden into a captivating game. This mobile app offers a playful, educational experience for children and adults by combining real-world exploration with a beautifully illustrated virtual botanical book.

Currently supported at: Greece - Kefalonia Botanical Garden Supported languages: English, Greek, German, French and Swedish

How the game works:

Receive a botanical book filled with quests: each features an illustrated plant and a series of clues.

Use your virtual garden map to navigate and narrow down where to look.

When you think you’ve found the plant in real life, snap a photo of it right in the app.

The game will confirm whether it’s the correct species - or suggest what it might actually be.
