Terms of the Garden
Last updated: June 2025
These are the quiet rules of Shadow Garden — a place of calm discovery. By stepping through the gate, you agree to walk by them.
What awaits inside
Shadow Garden is a free, browser-based memory card game with a moonlit botanical aesthetic. Flip dark tiles, match shadow pairs, and reveal the garden's hidden blooms. No payment required. No account needed.
All wanderers welcome
Players of every age are invited through the gate. Shadow Garden is non-violent, gambling-free, and appropriate for all audiences, including children.
Glow points
Each matched pair lights up the garden and earns glow points, multiplied for consecutive matches. Points are session-only and carry no real-world value of any kind.
No wagers in the dark
Shadow Garden offers no virtual currency, no loot mechanics, no betting system, and no randomised prizes of any description.
Ownership of the garden
All creative and technical assets in Shadow Garden — code, design, artwork — are owned by their respective creators. You may play for personal enjoyment. Any commercial use or redistribution requires prior written permission.
Conduct in the garden
Automated tools, bots, exploit scripts, and deliberate disruption of the service are not welcome and are strictly prohibited.
As the garden stands
Shadow Garden is offered as-is. We make no warranty of uninterrupted availability and hold no liability for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the game.
Rule changes at dawn
These terms may be revised. The date above will be updated when they are. Continued visits after any revision constitute acceptance.
