Mō The Curious Gastronaut Mahi Matua: Kēmu Kāri

Tuhinga Pukapuka: Ko Te Kaimōhio Kai Whakamīharo he kēmu kāri e pōhiri ana i ngā tamariki me ngā whānau ki te torotoro i te kai mā roto i te tākaro. Whāia ai ngā tohutohu kei runga i ngā kāri whakaahua, ka kohia e ngā kaitākaro ngā kai, ka whakakotahitia hei whakamātau kai iti hei kai, ka whakaingoatia, ā, ka tirohia mā ngā tairongo e rima. Ka whakatauhia, ka tuhia hoki ngā tohutoro me ngā urupare. Ka taea te tākaro i te kēmu nei mā te whakamahi i te kai pono, mā te whakaaro noa iho rānei, ā, mā te tākaro takitahi, mahi tahi, whakataetae rānei. Kāore he rīhi motuhake e whakaingoatia ana, nā reira ka waihanga ngā kaitākaro i ngā mea hou mai i te tīmatanga. He rite te pouaka iti nei mō ngā ringa iti me te haere ki tāwāhi.

Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.

Āhuatanga Motuhake: Explore the exciting world of food using the imagination, bite-size edible experiments & all 5 senses. Play with real food or without, the goal is to discover flavours, textures & combos that are out of this world! It inspires children & our inner child to be brave & curious, reinvents how families eat & encourages playful exploration beyond the game. Uniquely, it makes no mention of food items, & encourages players to reimagine food & experiment from ground up rather than from existing recipes
Inenga & Pēketanga: Packaging (Box with a slip on lid): 120 x 170 x 50mm, 55x Ingredient Cards: 96mm, 4x Book of Curious Recipes (12 pages): 110 x 160mm, 1x Gameplay Handbook (12 pages): 110 x 160mm, 1x Gastronaut's Guide Card (double-sided): 85 x 120mm
Tūtohu: Children's Design, Play, Kids, Imagination, Creative, Game, Interactive, Food, Family, Education
Hangarau Whakanao: The game manifested into a physical card game perfect for collaborative play with potential for digitisation. It infuses play with dining in a natural way without becoming a distraction. It is portable and perfectly sized for little hands. The prompts are whimsical & humorous, the visuals - gender neutral & simplistic but not childish, with the intention to stimulate the imagination and trigger joy & curiosity. It's open-endedness allows for multi use, endless interpretations & high playability
Wero Hoahoa: The project required all-round skills in design, illustration, writing and knowledge in play, child culture, food education, etc which I was able to build and improve through research and playtesting. Inspiring ongoing exploration while also motivating busy adults to play were additional challenges, which I overcame by introducing features like unlocking and journey maps, and by simplifying the gameplay into short, simple sessions.
Rangahau: Using exploratory research, the objective was to foster healthy food relationships in children, through play. Methodologies include surveys & secondary source research. Data collected informed research tools, namely participatory experiments (observed workshops & self-reported trials). The results indicate that gamifying food is beneficial. Insight into the transformative nature of play suggests that it warrants further research. The effect overall is a whimsical food-exploration game
Whakaaweawe: Kids can be suspicious of new food & often categorize it as 'yuck' even before trying it. Many foods remain unexplored & mealtimes are reduced to mundane chores. Kids use curiosity & play to explore the world so why not use it to explore the food world? The game is a culmination of my passion for food & specialisation in Children's Design. By bringing the benefits of play to the table, I wanted to inspire kids to be curious & take the first bite to possibly be rewarded with a surprising discovery
Roanga o te Kaupapa: The project started in January 2015 in Gothenburg, Sweden and finished in January 2020 in Gold Coast, Australia. It was exhibited at HDK Academy for Design & Art in 2015 and was awarded best thesis project
Rerenga Mahi: Following the prompts on beautifully illustrated cards, players use their imagination to gather ingredients, creatively combine them to create weird & wonderful bite-size edible experiments, name them & explore them together using all five senses. Finally, they rate and record their recipes & experiences. One can play with real food or imaginatively, with or without cooking and choose from solo, collaborative & competitive modes, to discover the exciting edible world on their own terms
