The trail
How to Do the Quest
- 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
Choose a calm aisle plan with an adult and agree that the Quest is observation only unless a caregiver already planned a purchase.
- 3
Walk slowly through a few sections and mark a square only after describing the exact label feature that matches it.
- 4
Compare two similar products and notice which package makes its information easier or harder to find.
- 5
Pause in an open area to sketch one favorite label layout without blocking shelves, carts, or other shoppers.
- 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.
Why You'll Love This Quest
Tween Grocery Label Design Bingo gives people a concrete reason to notice, create, move, plan, or connect while staying realistic about schedules, budgets, accessibility, and comfort levels.
