Topiary: A Pruning Puzzle

Settle in with a sheet of paper, a growing tree, and a shape to work toward.

In Topiary, every cut removes part of your tree, but also changes where new branches can grow. You'll need to plan ahead, pruning carefully to guide your tree toward its finished shape.

Each new kind of tree grows a little differently, so you'll have to rethink how you approach each puzzle.

Grow at Your Own Pace

Take as many seasons as you need to grow your tree into shape, or challenge yourself to find a more efficient solution.

Each puzzle has a par number of seasons to aim for, along with little seedlings you can protect to earn seals. Sometimes, where you choose not to grow matters just as much as where you do.

From Paper to Garden

Every puzzle begins on a sheet of paper, with a notebook nearby for tracking how your tree grows or jotting down ideas.

When you finish a puzzle, your tree becomes a framed painting in the garden alongside your other creations. Over time, the garden fills with the trees you've shaped.
