The trail
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Choose a fictional restaurant concept that does not copy the place you are visiting.
- 2
Draw a simple logo with one shape, one color idea, and one mascot or symbol.
- 3
Write a five-word slogan that tells guests what the imaginary place feels like.
- 4
Give each person one minute to pitch the logo while keeping voices low and table space clear.
- 5
Vote on the logo that best matches its slogan, then put materials away before food arrives.
Make It Even More Fun
- ✦ Use a home dinner table and scrap paper for a no-restaurant version.
- ✦ Make the project verbal only if drawing is not appealing.
Level It Up
Create a three-item fictional menu that matches the logo’s mood without changing any real food order.
Make It Easier
Choose one logo shape and one slogan as a shared group design.
Quest Challenge
Can the group make every fictional restaurant clearly different from the real one around them?
Pro Tip
Keep the real restaurant experience first: no mess, no marked menus, and no loud presentations.
Safety First
Respect restaurant rules, keep all materials away from food and drinks, and do not distract staff or other diners.
