All's Well That Eats Well Power Play

A Breakout Game for the Classroom

STORY

The Prince of Goodgarden has become an influential ambassador for the city’s healthy way of life, steadily developing a well-rounded practice of eating nutritious foods, exercising and working to cultivate new opportunities for the wellness of citizens. But this week, a candy and bake shop called “Sometimes Sweets” just opened, and the prince’s notorious sweet tooth has returned with a vengeance. Frequenting the shop too much has sent him down a slippery slope of eating an unhealthy diet and not getting enough movement, and now he’s turned back into the Greast! You must locate where the five healthy food groups have scattered from the Greast’s wrath and use the Restorative Health Elixir from the witch’s spell book to get him back on track to a healthy lifestyle – and turn him back into a prince!

Setup:

The following is a basic logical order for setting up the All’s Well That Eats Well Power Play game. If you are already familiar with Breakout-type games, this may be a breeze. If not, take it step by step. Setup should take roughly 30 minutes.

Go to www.NTCPowerPlay.com and select All’s Well That Eats Well Power Play program.
Click “PLAY” to access all the materials needed for the classroom game.
Watch the teacher tutorial video.
Review and print all the game resources. Decide if you’d like to make additional sets of any resources to have multiple groups of students playing during a single game session.
Prepare the three-digit lock, the four-digit lock, the five-color multi-lock and the five-arrow multi-lock with the correct combinations from the lock puzzle solutions.
Instructions for setting the combinations can be found here: https://www.breakoutedu.com/locks
1. Set the locks to these solutions:
  - Three-digit lock = 3-5-0
  - Four-digit lock = 4-9-7-0
  - Five-arrow multi-lock = UP – RIGHT – UP – DOWN – LEFT
  - Five-color multi-lock = Blue – Red – Green – Purple – Orange
  - Padlock key: placed in the small lockbox
2. Place the blue lock hasp on the large lockbox and lock it.
Explain to your students that they’ll need to work together and search the room thoroughly and respectfully in order to play the game.
1. In the small lockbox, place the Restorative Wellness Elixir, UV flashlight and padlock key. Lock with the three-digit lock.
2. In the large lockbox, place the Congratulations certificate along with candy or other prizes (if you choose) and the Reflection Questions. After preparing the combination locks, you will lock this box by first attaching the blue lock hasp and then locking with the four-digit lock, the five-arrow multi-lock, the five-color multi-lock and the padlock.
Place the five Wellness Journal entries (set loosely inside a notebook with “Wellness Journal” cut out and attached to the front) and the Umberto’s Pizza Parlor Menu on a table in the playing area. You could also hang the menu on a wall.
Hang the Yoga with Nessie poster on a wall.
Cut out the five MyPlate pieces and use the UV marker to write in the letters to the Atbash cipher code (see directions on the last page of the game pieces packet: UV MARKER/ATBASH CIPHER INSTRUCTIONS). Then hide the five MyPlate pieces throughout the playing area for students to find. Conversely, you can give the pieces to students whenever they solve a puzzle, work together, think critically or ask valuable questions.
Explain that in order to use a Hint Card, your students must all agree that they are ready for a hint. Depending on their progress and how much time is left, you can then give the group an appropriate hint to get them moving in the right direction.
Show your students the All’s Well That Eats Well story video, set your timer for 45 minutes and begin!
After they’ve completed the game, ask your students the Reflection Questions.

The Clues:

The following are the five puzzles and clues used to open the various combination locks.

Lock: Three-digit lock
Answer: 3-5-0

This solution can be found by reading the Wednesday Wellness Journal entry, particularly the lines: “…so I gulped a giant root beer and ordered 3 different pizza slices from Umberto’s Pizza Parlor for delivery. Their sausage is so good, but so greasy! Delicious, yes … but there’s still just something missing from the amount of calories in this meal.” Looking at the menu for Umberto’s Pizza Parlor, you’ll notice a grease stain over how many calories are in the root beer. By subtracting the three different calorie amounts for the sausage pizza slices from the total amount of calories consumed in meal #3, you get the “missing” root beer calories of 350.

Lock: Four-digit lock
Answer: 4-9-7-0

This solution can be found by adding up the calories for all of Thursday’s meals and taking note of the fill-in-the-blank “calories consumed” sections of the Wellness Journal entries. Four out of the five calorie total entries will add up to four digits – the answer is the amount of calories from the Thursday entry, the day the Greast skips the Yoga with Nessie class.

Lock: Five-arrow multi-lock
Answer: UP – RIGHT – UP – DOWN – LEFT

This solution can be found by reading the flyer for Nessie’s yoga class. The image of the arrow behind “UP” in the headline of the flyer is the clue to search for the other directional words in the sections below the headline.

Lock: Padlock
Answer: The padlock key is found inside the small lockbox (locked with 3-digit lock)

Lock: Five-color multi-lock
Answer: Blue - Red - Green - Purple - Orange

This solution can be found once the students find all five of the MyPlate pieces hidden around the room, along with the Restorative Wellness Elixir and the UV flashlight. The UV flashlight will reveal the Atbash cipher key that’s spread across five MyPlate pieces, which will decode the encrypted directions on the elixir recipe. The directions give the correct order to mix in the five food groups. The corresponding colors to the five food groups are the answer to the lock.
