Bounce Steve Up a Giant Beanstalk

Oct 14, 2026 / By Adam

Ever notice a houseplant leaning toward the window? That happens because plant stems bend toward light. The cells on the shady side of the stem grow a little longer than the cells on the sunny side, so the stem curves toward the light. Give the pot a turn every so often, and watch the plant straighten itself out.

In this game, Steve is climbing a giant beanstalk all the way up toward the sun. Steer him from leaf to leaf and grab water drops on the way up. Watch out for swaying leaves and dry brown ones that crumble after one bounce. When he reaches the top, tap the bud to make it bloom. Can you bloom all five flowers?

Now grow a plant for real. Build a Plant Light Maze from a shoebox and watch a bean sprout wind its way toward the light. Want to grow beans on your windowsill? The Window Garden comes with green bean and squash seeds and suction-cup planters that stick right to the glass.
