How Food Quest Works

Food Quest is built around five progressive levels that grow with your child, offering age-appropriate support along the way. Each level includes 30 thoughtfully designed cards, each with a playful multiple-choice question, a fun mini challenge question to spark conversation and discovery, and a fun food fact to keep curiosity alive.

This gentle blend of thinking, trying, and exploring helps children engage with food in a calm, positive way. Families and educators can start at any level and move at their own pace, turning small moments of learning into lasting confidence

What Is Food Quest?

Food Quest is a playful card game that helps children explore food with confidence and curiosity. Each card offers a question, a simple mini challenge question and a fun fact that turns learning about food into an easy, enjoyable adventure.

Designed for all kinds of eaters — from selective to adventurous — Food Quest helps kids understand their bodies, build healthy habits, and feel more relaxed around food. It’s a calm, practical way for families and educators to bring positive food learning back to the table.

Food Quest makes food feel friendly, not stressful — one card at a time.

Our Story

Food Quest began as a single father’s way of helping his son feel safe and confident around food again. When my son was struggling with an eating disorder, we were surrounded by appointments and advice — but what we really needed was something gentle, playful, and supportive in our everyday life.

Drawing on my 25 years as an educational toy designer, I started creating simple cards to spark calm conversations at mealtimes. Those small moments rebuilt trust between us and helped my son talk, think, and laugh again.

What began as homemade cards has grown into Food Quest — a gentle, imaginative learning game that helps children build a healthier relationship with food and strengthens the connection between kids and the people who care for them.

Food Quest was born from a personal journey — and shaped with the hope that many families, in many different situations, can find comfort, confidence, and joy in exploring food together.

A Heartfelt Medical Disclaimer

I want to be completely honest: I’m not a doctor, psychologist, dietitian, or any kind of medical professional. I’m just a dad who was trying his very best to help his son through an incredibly tough and frightening chapter of his life. Food Quest grew out of love, hope, and many moments of trial and error — not medical training.

The support we received from doctors, psychologists, dietitians, and specialists was incredibly important. Their guidance played a vital role in my sons recovery, and nothing in Food Quest is meant to replace that kind of professional care. It was simply something I could offer at home — a small, gentle way to bring more calm, connection, and understanding into our daily life.

If your child is struggling, please rely on the expertise of qualified health professionals. Food Quest is only a companion tool, created by a parent, to support conversation and connection along the way.
