Players take on the role of a food scientist to master the secret ingredients of flavor through the power of working memory

Developed with Twin Cities PBS, Flavor Finder is a career awareness and cognitive skills learning game that focuses on working memory within the context of food science. Players take on the role of a flavor scientist to recreate target taste profiles through structured experiments. By combining ingredients and recalling specific ratios, players strengthen their working memory while experiencing the creative production workflow of a professional scientist.

Learning focus

Working Memory, Food Science, Experimental Design, Ratio & Proportion

GAME FEATURES

Combine base ingredients

Mix components to build specific flavor combinations.

Follow experimental sequences

Repeat ordered steps during testing phases.

Use working memory

Recall ratios and combinations to match target outcomes.

Conduct tasting trials

Evaluate results and refine mixtures based on feedback.

Core Learning Outcomes:

  • Demonstrate working memory during multi-step tasks
  • Recall and apply specific ratios and sequences
  • Analyze results to refine experimental approaches
  • Explain how systematic testing supports scientific discovery
Why This Project Matters

Scientific work often requires tracking multiple variables and procedures at once. Flavor Finder helps learners strengthen working memory and structured experimentation skills by embedding these cognitive demands within applied food science challenges.
