Aloe vera

This is a game, not a field guide. Never eat a wild mushroom or plant because of it; if you are unsure, ask a mushroom advisor or a poison centre.

Did you know?

  • Nobody has found it truly wild with certainty; it probably began on the Arabian Peninsula.
  • Its thick leaves store water, and it opens its pores at night to save water, as many desert plants do.

Could you guess it from clues?

WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
