Embark on a Food Adventure with Your Monster!
Dive into a game where kids join their very own monster at Bub’s incredible food party! With special tables for each sense — Look, Smell, Listen, Touch, and Taste — children embark on an exciting, sensory journey exploring a world of delicious foods.
Watch your monster’s hilarious reactions: will they gobble up a banana with delight or hesitate at the gooey insides of a tomato? No pressure—it’s all about giving new foods a try. This delightful sensory food experience encourages kids to embrace their curiosity, even if they don’t enjoy every food they encounter.
The fun doesn’t stop inside the game… Parents rave about how this adventure spills into real life—kids daring to try new foods, mimicking their monster’s bravery, and expanding their taste buds. Under the guidance of a charming young narrator, children get the chance to build vocabulary for describing flavours, gain confidence in making food choices, and even help plan the family shopping list with requests for new foods to explore!
Adventurous Eating uses proven research-driven methods and role modelling to create a positive, safe environment for children to not only discover new food but also explore new ways of trying food. So join your monster on its adventure, and see how this playful game transforms mealtimes into exciting, real-life food explorations!
Explore Bub’s Garden: From Planting to Plating!
Pop your shoes on and take your monster into Bub’s Garden—a magical veg patch where kids can plant, grow, and harvest their veggies. Hop into the lift and descend to the garden, where the fun begins!
Kids will love digging, planting seeds, watering their crops, and watching their veggies grow. Once harvested, the vegetables are transformed into delicious meals — from picking, to preparation, to plate – feed Bub with your homegrown creations.
This hands-on gardening experience teaches children where their food comes from while cultivating a love for nature and healthy eating. Get ready to dig into the wonders of Bub’s Garden.

Why use Adventurous Eating?
What are people saying about Adventurous Eating?
“My kiddo is 4.5 and loves this app. She me asked to buy a butternut squash at the grocery store because Bub tried it when she was playing this morning. We talked about how we will look at it, and smell it, and listen to it, etc. And she knows that even if she doesn’t like the way it tastes, that’s ok!”
