Kits are still in final stages of development and will be available later in fall of 2014. This presentation details the core thinking behind the kits as currently designed.

- 1. The NomNom GameKit Project Better Nutrition Games Food www.gamesforhealth.org Ben Sawyer bsawyer@dmill.com @bensawyer
- 2. Nutrition Games • Name the best nutrition game you played last year? • Most apps focus on diets, eating plans, counting calories, not systemic behavior change • Gamut of opportunities wider than eat-this not-that • Catch the fruit should not be a genre
- 3. Nutrition??? “I don’t think about nutrition, I think about food. Make stuff about food.” - Early brainstorming participant
- 4. Food! Cooking Portions Nutrition MyPlate Grocery Shopping Dining Out Food Marketing Gardening Snacking Food Ethics Food Security Food Deserts Food Safety School LunchesCalorie Counting Meal Planning Dieting Emotional Eating Empty Calories
- 6. Games with Food! Minecraft Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
- 7. Catch the Fruit We’re not kidding!
- 8. This is not a meaningful choice vs. or an interesting one…
- 9. Food vs. Exercise • We equate exercise as the answer for poor food habits! • Exercise has benefits beyond weight & waist line • Nutrition has benefits beyond weight & waist line • On average exercise can help people lose 10 pounds • Nutrition and eating habits are bigger issue • We over emphasize exercise as the antecedent of poor food habits
- 10. Starting points? • FDA database wasn’t as useful for making games • Broad free/open food database for apps is lacking • Subject matter expertise online is muddled • There are few tools, if any for food projects
- 11. Summary… • Many options for food and games exist • Few are meaningful or interesting! • The relationship between food and exercise is over-emphasized — need deeper experiences • The starting points are not great
- 12. What to do?
- 13. Meet & Think… • Convened nutritionists for input • Examined nutrition textbooks for curriculum • Looked at food games, apps, sites! • Discussed databases, and nutrition information • How can reduce risk & effort of “1st playable”?
- 14. How? • The diversity of topics is strength but what’s the common denominator? • Get people purposely exploring beyond calories and binary choices (i.e. fruit vs. pizza) • How to simplify yet broaden! • How to engage developers and non-developers?
- 15. Outcome Goals • Reset from nutrition to food • Identify plethora of issues around food that improves health & health outcomes! • Enable one effort that addresses all of them • Identify areas where games could offer deeper food content and help designers there too • How to improve number of games about food worked on to some playable level
- 16. Idea: Prototyping Kit! “Prototype more, suck less” - Greg Costikyan
- 17. Prototyping kit • Cards & Board Game : enables ability to cheaply prototype both for offline & online systems • Helps everyone: app, gamification, and game developers • Works for non-technical: no programming needed (at least for initial work) • Focuses on values, and systems: less ability to focus and get fixated on media effects
- 18. Project NomNom • We will never design the perfect food/nutrition game • Enabling hundreds of developers, students, health professionals might result in some real stars • Designer integrates various food data we curate • Working paper prototypes can be converted to digital or polished board game form • Design system for “cross orientation” (i.e. help developers understand food, and nutrition/food experts understand games)
- 19. Kit 1.0 • Food Cards : Blank cards, with color codes, spots for customized data • Action Cards : Blank cards, with color codes, etc. + stickers for customization • Custom Dice : Printed sticker sheets for customization • 4 Game Boards : Meal Planner, Kitchen, Grids, Body • MyPlates : 4-8 paper MyPlates for creating games using MyPlate approach • Meeples : Wooden figures, to represent family units, people in your games • Money : Play money to make play purchases • Tokens : Small cardboard chits with different elements on them • Stickers : Our data (e.g. “allergy alert!”) is in sticker form that you apply to cards • Printouts : Additional printouts for things like menus, recipes, etc. Meeples Tokens
