The trail

How to Do the Quest

  1. 1

    Before entering, write nine design prompts such as a label with a mascot, a package with three colors, a clear allergy notice, or a tiny illustration.

  2. 2

    Choose a calm aisle plan with an adult and agree that the Quest is observation only unless a caregiver already planned a purchase.

  3. 3

    Walk slowly through a few sections and mark a square only after describing the exact label feature that matches it.

  4. 4

    Compare two similar products and notice which package makes its information easier or harder to find.

  5. 5

    Pause in an open area to sketch one favorite label layout without blocking shelves, carts, or other shoppers.

  6. 6

    Finish outside the store or at home by redesigning one label on paper for a pretend snack.

Make It Even More Fun

  • ✦ Use a library catalog, pantry, or online grocery circular when a store visit is not practical.
  • ✦ Use picture prompts, a seated or observer role, fewer choices, a shorter first round, or a partner role so everyone can take part comfortably.

Level It Up

Add a bonus square for a package that uses a symbol, pattern, or accessibility feature to explain information quickly.

Make It Easier

Use a six-square card with picture prompts and work as a pair.

Quest Challenge

Can the group get one bingo line while naming the exact design choice behind every marked square?

Pro Tip

Treat staff, shoppers, shelves, and merchandise respectfully: observe from a distance, do not rearrange products, and ask before taking photos.

Safety First

Use a caregiver-approved store, stay together in public, keep aisles clear, and do not photograph people, staff, or checkout screens.
