A SMALL LAB. A LIVING PUZZLE.
Good things
come in matches.
Meet the tiniest gardeners. Test a phage, discover its hosts, and blend a little cocktail that reaches them all.

03 / THE CULTURE GARDEN
A small world, waiting to bloom.
Start with a spot test. Then tick the phages you want in your blend.
A game of specificity. Some phages match one host; some reach several. A thoughtful combination fills the gaps. From plate six, each colony needs two distinct matches.
Inspired by November 2026 phage research. All organisms, tests, and rules here are fictional. This is a pattern puzzle, not a treatment simulator.
