Embark with Ansel & Clair as they create their own green utopia while progressing through 18 wonderful levels of gameplay. Each level requires creativity, problem solving, and a sense of fun!

◆ PLAY: 18 unique game levels, which combine fun, creativity & problem solving. Complete missions to unlock rewards. Clear trash, plant, water, move, sell trees, catch the coal plants dumping pollutants, clean and free birds stuck in oil, earn GreenBucks to buy your rewards (NO in-app purchases!).

◆ CREATE: Your own Green utopia: plant 50+ trees, landscape accents, and environment savers!
