Cozy match 3 management title, Longleaf Valley plants 2 million trees in the real world .
Gaming Studio TreesPlease Games, a studio founded to make games that protect nature and fight climate change, has hti a major milestone. Thanks to player actions in match-3 mobile puzzler Longleaf Valley, over 2 million real world trees have gone into the ground , helping to mitigate the slide into a Fallout styled post apocloyptic backdroop. The news equals a CO2 offset potential of 42k tonnes. That’s similar to 46k long haul flights, or the absorbing power of nearly 29 acres of sea ice!
Laura Carter, CEO & Co-Founder of TreesPlease Games, said: “This year has been an incredible whirlwind! We’ve seen Longleaf Valley reach an ever-growing audience, while also strengthening our impact as a studio. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our team, the unwavering passion for the planet shown by our players, and the industry’s recognition of our mission, we’re poised for an even greater 2025. We’re deeply grateful to our players, and partners for supporting us on this journey, and we’re thrilled to continue harnessing the power of play to fight for our planet and all life on it.”
You might remember the title from an appearance during the Game Awars 2024, encouraging players to download and play, while the developers and partners plant trees in the real world. While the achievement won’t stop climate change outright, this gaming with purpose is a great way for puzzle fans to match their moral compass with a quick distraction.
Players picking up and downloading a trip to Longleaf today will also find new in game events ongoing. January welcomes a new Veganuary event. The food focused activities feature in-game content inspired by the official Veganuary Cookbook, and there are plenty of in game rewards.
