The unpredictable Mr. Nose leads The Flowertest, a high-stakes scent tournament. In a few minutes, participants must perfume artificial flowers to meet smell standards.
Though indirect, each round reveals Mr. Nose's preferences. Players must decipher cryptic clues, guess, and adjust their tactics. Some perfumes suit Mr. Nose, while others offend him. Errors have immediate effects. A mistake can lead to rejection or worse, changing the game from light puzzle-solving to something more unpredictable. The ambiguity keeps tension high even throughout a brief playtime.
The Flowertest is short but has a tight core loop. Players must quickly grasp rules, spot patterns, and make decisions with limited information. Each round emphasizes resource management, leaving little space for error. Reading cues, reacting to Mr. Nose's explosive behaviors, and staying calm under pressure are key to success. The session lasts minutes, but it rewards those who take each spray seriously.
