BAM! Dining Decisions is an engaging educational puzzle game that helps players understand the principles of making healthy food choices. You are placed in an interactive environment where you must quickly and accurately sort foods into categories: “GO!” — everyday staples, “Slow” — foods for moderate consumption, and “WHOA!” — occasional treats high in sugar or fat.

The gameplay focuses on reaction speed and attention: food items move across the screen, and your task is to classify them correctly to earn points and beat your personal bests. With each new level, the challenge increases — more food types appear, and the time to decide becomes shorter. This approach turns learning into an exciting challenge, where every correct choice is both rewarding and reinforcing healthy eating knowledge.

The game is aimed primarily at children and teenagers, but its dynamic mechanics and clear rules make it appealing to anyone interested in developing mindful food selection skills. Thanks to VoiceOver compatibility on mobile devices, players with visual impairments can easily engage with the game, receiving all essential information through spoken feedback. BAM! Dining Decisions blends puzzle mechanics with education, transforming the familiar topic of healthy living into an accessible and exciting experience.
