Did Jandel sell Grow a Garden? Here’s the story so far

Constant updates and events can keep the players interested. Grow a Garden is a perfect example. It’s one of the biggest games on Roblox with hundreds of thousands concurrent players all the time. For many fans, this success has a face. One of the most recognizable people in GaG team is Jandell – one of the owners of the game. However, recent events suggest that he is stepping back from this position. So, let’s take a closer look at the situation.

The story of Grow a Garden so far. Did Jandel sell a game?

Story of Grow a Garden is short, but really busy. The game was created in only three days by 16-year-old BMWLux and released in March 2025. In April, Jandell and his Splitting Point Studios bought a share in GaG to help with development.

Of course, it is only a beginning. At the end of May, controversial Do Big Studios bought another part of Grow a Garden. According to Jandell, at that point, original creator had around 50% of the shares.

Acquisition by Do Big Studios was loudly criticized. It has a bad reputation across the Roblox community. Why? The answer is simple – money. In players opinion, the company cares more about its earnings than anything else. So, many people believe that games acquired by them are noticeably worse afterwards. Even GaG is mentioned as a good example, with fans arguing that the game receives only small updates that don’t implement any bigger changes. However, even after Do Big Studios acquisition, it’s still one of the biggest games on Roblox.

So, let’s go back to Jandell. After this change, he was still mentioned as the main owner of the game. He was very active in Grow a Garden community and took part in game development. Additionally, he appeared in the game during Admin Abuse events.

Not so long days ago, Jandell posted video on TikTok, with a description where he thanks fans for being with the game. He also said there “I’ll never forget these last 6 months.” Some GaG players saw this as a goodbye with the game. Additionally, on official game Discord server, he no longer has the ‘owner’ role and is only mentioned as a developer instead. Moreover, we have not saw him posting for a long time.

On the other hand, earlier in September, Jandel posted o X his thoughts about selling games. He is skeptical about selling games. Instead, he advises to search for a partner that helps in development.

So, there are clear signs that Jandell steps back from his position as a main owner, but he still works on Grow a Garden and probably still has shares in game. It seems that he is focused on Plants Vs Brainrots right now. It is also his game, and it is gaining more players every day.
