Objects worth
travelling for.

Every location on Earth harbours a unique specimen. The rarer the place, the rarer the creature waiting inside it. A specimen from the peak of Everest is not the same as one from your local park.

The First Discovery

Some specimens
exist once.

The first person to physically arrive at any location claims its Genesis specimen — a creature that has never been and will never be found again.

I
Permanent record
Your discovery is written into the specimen's provenance. Every future owner sees your name as founder.
II
Expedition access
Genesis holders receive early access to every new region, season, and species before general release.
III
Finite by nature
There are a countable number of meaningful places on Earth. Genesis supply cannot grow.

The Field Method

A rigorous
discipline.

I

Open the field map

Known habitats glow nearby. The colour of each pin signals what conservation status lives there, before you ever leave home.

II

Arrive in person

Get within range. No shortcuts. The specimen only reveals itself to those who truly went there.

III

Document the find

Your specimen is AI-illustrated, assigned its Latin name, field notes, and a serial in the permanent record. No two are alike.

IV

Trade the collection

Sell, trade, or hold. Other collectors want what you found. Conservation status determines value — supply is fixed by nature.

Conservation Status

Not all finds
are equal.

Status is determined at launch by location significance and never revised. Once a population is exhausted, it is gone.

I
Common
Unlimited population
Local parks, streets, cafés
II
Vulnerable
1,000 per habitat
City museums, markets
III

Season One · Field Opening

You are early.
That is the advantage.

The first wave of collectors shapes what the rarest specimens are worth. Getting in before that matters.
