We, two dutch students: Vincent Ubbens and Charell Bos, designed a concept game and would like to know if we should invest in realizing it. We want to ask you, the bored panda’s, to give us your opinion and spread the word if you like our game. Please don’t hesitate to say what you think…
Now something about the game:
Food4Thought® is a new innovative BOARD GAME aimed at schools to engage young adolescents learners explore the relationships between what we eat and its effect on health, vitality & wellbeing.
Research suggests increased incidence of obesity and diabetes internationally. This project engaged school children in a primary research project to assess knowledge & understanding of food & nutrition among early teens. Findings indicate that dietary decision making is highly dependent on knowledge and understanding of the complex relationships around nutrition & activity.
The final design proposal is a six player interactive gaming experience which combines both traditional board-game elements with simple electronic display and links to a web resource.
The game introduces players to the characteristics and purposeof Vitamins, Water, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats & Fibers in an easy, fun & understandable way:
1. The first round is about earning ‘coins’ by answering questions correctly from ‘game cards’. These cards can be electronically read by the individual player ‘feedback circle’.
2. The second round is about buying food & drinks and burning energy by doing activities to keep your energy & health level high.
The game-board CPU reads & exchanges data between the ‘feedback circle’ and relays the impact of decisions taken which morphs a player customizable ‘avatar’ on the Food4Thought® website.
Through engagement with the Food4Thought® gaming experience, players begin to learn how nutrition works and how food choice & activity effects the medium to long term health & vitality of their bodies.
