BANANO GROVE · BRING YOUR BUNCH
A little friendly competition.
A group challenge without a group chat to manage inside the game. Catch bananas, dodge rocks, then compare your daily best with friends. No wallet, account, deposit or purchase is needed to play or join a league.
Hosting? Start with one invitation.
- Open Friends in Rankings. Under New league name, enter 3–32 letters, numbers, spaces, underscores or hyphens, then choose Create a league. Creating adds your current browser to that league.
- Select your league under Your leagues, then choose Copy invitation link. If copying is unavailable, the interface shows a link you can select manually.
- Share the invitation yourself with friends who want to play. Choose a channel where you are allowed to share it; Grove does not send messages or post for you. Include this guide if someone is new.
Keep it simple: agree to try today’s Daily Challenge, then return to your league board to compare. You do not need to play at the same time.
Invited? Joining stays your choice.
- Open your friend’s invitation. It reveals the existing invitation preview; opening a link does not join the league or start a round.
- Check the league name in the preview, then choose Join this league only if you want to take part. If the preview is unavailable, confirm the league with your friend or ask for a fresh link. Alternatively, open Friends and paste the full invitation link or its exact 32-character lowercase code into Invitation link or code, then choose Join with invitation.
- Go to Play, choose a grove nickname, keep Daily Challenge selected and press Let’s play. Each round lasts 30 seconds. Use arrows or A/D on a keyboard, or drag the basket on touchscreens.
If an invitation cannot be found, ask the host for the complete original link. A league can fill up; joining is not guaranteed. Do not change characters in the code or send wallet information to fix an invitation.
Which score counts?
- Daily: your best server-verified Daily Challenge score for the current UTC day. Everyone plays that day’s same falling pattern. Another attempt can improve your best; attempts are not added together.
- Weekly: the sum of each day’s best Daily Challenge score from Monday through today, in UTC. It is not the sum of all attempts. The week starts again on Monday at 00:00 UTC.
- Practice: a random pattern for free play. Practice scores do not count toward the friends league board.
After a score is accepted, open Friends, select your league and choose Daily or Weekly. Use Refresh leagues to read the latest board. A new league or a member without a daily result may have no score listed yet. Use the date shown in the game rather than your local calendar around midnight.
Want a reason to return? Try a casual week: one daily round when convenient, with a final comparison before Monday’s UTC reset. This is friendly score comparison, not a wager or a promise of prizes. Optional BAN rewards are separate; see the reward guide for their limits.
An invitation is not a password.
Anyone with the invitation can see the league name before joining and ask to join by confirming it. Share only where you intend; do not treat the link as confidential access control. League boards require membership, but your Daily Challenge nickname and best score can also appear on the public leaderboard. Use a nickname you are comfortable sharing. There is no league chat.
Your membership and saved progress belong to this browser’s guest cookie, not an account. Keep using the same browser; clearing its site data or changing browsers can lose access. There is no account sign-in or recovery flow. Do not use a league as a private record or a way to store personal information.
This guide is read-only: it creates no player, league, invitation or round. The game uses its existing browser identity when you open it. Grove never needs a seed phrase, private key or deposit to join friends.
