FlavourGame
FlavourGame is a project in the intersection of arts, technology, communication, and health. It was developed by an interdisciplinary team, and intended to reach kids aged 10-12 years old for raising discussion and sense-making around the theme of nutrition (food choices).
The project was consolidated in a new serious game that invites real foods – with their flavours, aromas, and textures – into play. This game was conceived as a hybrid board game – combining a physical board, a tablet, and a tangible object – through a user-centred design approach, where kids are given a voice and space for their own perspectives.
