The game ecosystem your friend got will almost certainly be different to the game ecosystem that you get.

You need to learn how to solve the game no matter the animal combination, because there are a lot of combinations. Highly recommend MConsultingPrep's course or Francesco's guide.

Hi there,

Q: Does the ecosystem animals change from a game to another or if a friend of mine gave me this answer to the ecosystem I can use it

The ecosystem changes each time. Even if the species have the same names, the correct ecosystem could be completely different. Therefore you cannot rely on previous chains to build yours.

If you want to prepare for the game, you can find the video simulation I created at the following link, including an Excel solver to build the ecosystem chain in 13 minutes.

For any questions please drop me a message, I will reply within 12 hours.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there

Yes, the species may change from game to game. However, it doesn't matter, as the game logic remains the same, so like Ian said, rather focus your time on understanding that than memorizing / documenting species.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andi

Hello,

There are many different animal combinations you can get in the ecosystem game, so it is incredibly unlikely that you will get the same one as your friend. Definitely prepare to solve the test assuming you won’t know the animals that come up.

Hi there!

There are differences in the game from person to person, so you won't get exactly what he had.

Check out on youtube for other examples of the test or get one of the guides provided by some of the coaches. 

Best,
Cristian
