Rootlings: Plants & Photosynthesis Excavating Adventure
Become an Adventurling and grow alongside the Rootlings — a light-filled Excavating Adventure where science, sunlight, and discovery intertwine!
The Rootlings once nourished Gemora’s green worlds, keeping the forests alive and the air filled with oxygen. But now, their five essential Digs — radiant relics of sunlight and growth — have been stolen by a mischievous Grumbling and buried beneath roots, vines, and overgrown ruins. Without them, plants wither, forests fade, and Gemora’s natural balance begins to dim.
That’s where you come in.
As a curious Adventurling, you’ll join a wise Guideling and a bold Braveling on an immersive online adventure filled with science, puzzles, and hands-on learning. Discover how plants make food from sunlight, explore the power of chlorophyll, and uncover the secret life of roots — all while outsmarting the Grumbling and restoring the light that fuels Gemora’s forests!
At the end of your mission, open your real excavation kit to reveal five vibrant Mystery Digs — authentic specimens inspired by the minerals, soils, and nutrients that help plants grow. Identify, collect, and trade your discoveries to complete your Rootlings set and nurture Gemora back to life.
And when you enter the trading card game, your Digs bring power to the plants — +2 Power for any Dig, and +5 for the perfect match!
