Final Design

Box Design

Exploded Isometric of Box

The game box will be made out of cardboard. The top of the box will lift vertically off of the bottom. The box will be glued together with hot glue and glue sticks. Glue will be applied to the tabs on the corners of the box. Inside the bottom of the box will be two vertical strips of cardboard. This will designate a place for the question and activity cards and other game pieces to go when not in use. The game board will fold in half and rest on top of these cardboard strips in the box.

Placemat & Game Pieces

In order to win the game, a player must collect all six food pieces shown above and attach to their placemat.
