Welcome to the Mars greenhouse. The planting bed must match the resources and conditions in the greenhouse registry. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to build the moon-bean growing bed. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.
Start with the available-food line, not with the visitor names.
Hint 2
AND needs both foods. OR needs either food. A circular pair still needs an outside starting food.
Hint 3
Mark each creature whose food is already available; repeat until no new creature can be marked. Then compare only the listed visitors.
Reveal host answer
MOTH
Propagate food availability from the printed starting food. The OR visitor has a supported food chain; the AND visitor lacks one food and the circular pair never gets started. Result: MOTH.
2. Habitat
Hint 1
Place a finger on the same feature in each field card.
Hint 2
A "must not" rule removes a match; it does not ask you to look for that feature.
Hint 3
Test every remaining card against all requirements. Explain the particular requirement each rejected card fails.
Reveal host answer
MOSS
Compare feature values across all field cards. Apply positive and negative requirements together; only one complete feature set remains. Result: MOSS.
3. Delivery
Hint 1
Find opening stock, closing stock and the DONE or CANCELLED marks.
Hint 2
Only completed entries change stock. A cancelled plan cannot be added or subtracted.
Hint 3
Apply every known completed change to opening stock. Compare that result with closing stock to recover the missing completed return.
Reveal host answer
5
Known stock: 8 + 3 - 3 = 8. Closing stock 13 minus 8 gives the missing return 5. Cancelled +7 never arrived. Result: 5.
4. Plot
Hint 1
Find the column letters and row numbers on the grid.
Hint 2
A coordinate gives column first and row second; keep the printed coordinate order.
Hint 3
Read the full word before using the conversion table. If the word is missing, recheck each row and column rather than choosing a similar word.
Find the equal parcels and the separate loose units.
Hint 2
Remove the loose units before sharing the remaining weight among equal parcels.
Hint 3
Find one parcel from the first equation, then substitute that weight into the second equation before recording it.
Reveal host answer
2
Remove 1 from 7; share 6 among 3 parcels to get 2. Check 2 x 2 + 3 = 7. Result: 2.
6. Final
Needs: Food, Habitat, Delivery, Plot, Weight
Hint 1
Keep the five named results beside the final plan and find the key for each badge.
Hint 2
Each badge controls a different fact, road leg, order note, pulse or habitat layer. Use the matching key exactly once.
Hint 3
Check the completed product against all five recovered facts. If two answers remain, locate the fact that distinguishes them rather than guessing.
Reveal host answer
R2-F1-W2-D1-E2
Each recovered field result sets one separate habitat requirement. Match all five layers; a complete plan must include suitable cover, ground, water, food and access. Checked result: R2-F1-W2-D1-E2.
Suggested timeline
3 minutes: Read the opening. Show the evidence record and choose starting roles.
5 minutes: Solve Food. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
5 minutes: Solve Habitat. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
5 minutes: Solve Delivery. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
5 minutes: Solve Plot. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
5 minutes: Solve Weight. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
7 minutes: Build the five-part habitat design using all five results.
3 minutes: Read the ending. Ask each teammate to explain one rejected alternative.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
