HOW CAN ADVENTUROUS EATING HELP CHILDREN?

After playing the game, the children are more likely to try new fruits and vegetables.

Over half of the parents said their children would have a healthier relationship with food after playing the game.

HOW DOES ADVENTUROUS EATING WORK?

A child makes their very own monster guided through the game by Bub. From our research, we know that kids love caring for characters. It also allows children to be a bit braver with trying new things by playing through their monster.

Their monster plays a fun mini-game at each of the five tables at the party, one for each sense. Kids love that their monsters are exploring the food and reacting! Their monster won't always like the food they try, and that's OK—next time, they might. In real life, we’ve found that the children become more open to exploring the food too.

Their monster uses its senses to explore over 40 different fruit and vegetables! This means we are introducing the child to more food that they may see in supermarkets or at home.

Every time their monster uses one of its senses with a new fruit or vegetable, they receive a star. These stars give the monster access to the exclusive disco party where the child will hear a unique, catchy song for every fruit and vegetable they try. We know from our research that children respond well to songs.

Everyone leaves the disco with a sticker for their food book when the party ends. To make it even more fun, the child can customise the food their monster has tried with a silly face and body parts too. This is a great way for the players to look back at all the different fruit and vegetables their monster has tried!

Then it’s off to bed, where their monster dreams about the food they have tried that day!
