Gluten Free Game

Those of us who have children diagnosed with Celiac Disease have experienced the heartbreak the illness brings. Fortunately, we also know that our children can heal and enjoy a healthy life by maintaining a strict gluten-free diet. However, such a diet comes with its own set of challenges. Though at home we can monitor what our children eat, when they are away from home at birthday parties or other activities, children may need to be responsible for their own food choices.

Here at The Gluten Free Homestead we have developed a game for the iPad that will help you train your children to eat gluten-free: Bouncy’s Great Gluten Free Adventure! This app is the result of many hours of programming by my tech-savvy son, Michael. After releasing the Gluten Free Recipe Booklast summer (our first app for the iPhone), Michael was eager to start working on coding a game. And what could be better than to give it a gluten free twist? Last year, we made several gluten-free themed videos for kids featuring a character called Bouncy. Why not make Bouncy the star of the game? And so Bouncy’s Great Gluten Free Adventure was born!

Michael has maintained a gluten-free diet since childhood and understands how children with Celiac Disease can feel “different” because they are not able to eat the same foods as their friends. His game helps children think positively about eating gluten-free, fosters good eating habits, and empowers them to take an assertive role in managing their own diet.

Bouncy’s Great Gluten-Free Adventure is a one-player game. You travel through the game maze, finding food for Bouncy to eat. In order to earn points, make sure Bouncy only eats gluten-free food. If you select the wrong foods, you will lose points. Earn enough points to win medals and join Bouncy at his gluten-free birthday party and other events. The game focuses on learning by repetition, teaching the importance of always checking the ingredients to make sure your meal is gluten-free.
