Hungry? Got Food? Burqueño Boogie or Panza Llena, Corazon Contenta

Albuquerque is home to roughly 1115 registered and licensed restaurants! With a fluctuating population of 552,804 this means there are roughly 500 citizens per restaurant. This is a 5:1 ratio- so many options! Burqueños can look to the equation below to enjoy the process--using my game.

Hunger + Curiosity + Local Business = A Meal + Adventure + Growing Economy

This game allows you to survey the wide variety of Burqueño Cuisine at a discounted rate. By offering local restaurateurs the opportunity to advertise within the game/system itself, they in turn, provide a financial incentive in the form of a coupon or special offer to be recognized at the time of purchase. Access and agency are the major attraction of this game. Individuals, young and old, can take an active role in choosing how, when, and what they eat in the Q.

Since the game play is flexible enough to program using ARIS, there are several options to incorporate a Notebook component. From a business perspective, utilizing this type of platform allows for more interactive advertising and exposure for the restaurants involved. As eaters document their experience and “like” menu items, individuals build a food community and businesses benefit. One could also imagine a health component possibly linking restaurants to Vegan, Paleo, or Nutrition Pyramid diets. 

I can make this, you can help!
