Story: My game is about a boy named Josh Griffin who eats very unhealthy food. After another night of snaking on junk food, Josh falls asleep. He awakens in a strange world. To return to his home world he must harness the power of the food pyramid while avoiding the dangers that wonder that world.

Objective: The objective of the game is to return Josh back to his home world. To do this he must travel through the different groups of the food pyramid, gathering all the points on the way, without losing his life.

Health Lesson: Many people neglect different aspects of the food pyramid. Each food group has a special purpose that if fufills within our body. If we don't get enough of each food group our body could be lacking in certain nutrients that it needs to be healthy. When choosing options to eat from each food group you should avoid picking ones that are high in nutrients while low in things like fat and sugar. Instead you should choose health options that are high in vitamins and nutrients while low in unhealthy substances.

Audience: The target audience is young children but every age group can play this game and still learn a lot about eating healthy foods.
