It’s time to make some wild guesses on what the Food Factor Field Missions might be…
Although we’ll all have to patiently wait until September 2 for the official Food Factor Challenge Release … it’s always fun to speculate! I asked some FLL team members, alumni and volunteers I know if they had any missions they’d like to see on the mat – and here’s a few of the fun and crazy ideas they came up with. Thankfully, none of them are real FLL game designers.
Please note: I don’t have any idea what the official Food Factor Challenge Missions are, and these are only fun guesses!
1. Stomp that Bug!
You certainly wouldn’t want one of these nasty bugs hanging around your food. Each bug stomped is worth a couple of points.


2. Pick that Apple!
One of the best ways to ensure fresh food is to pick it yourself. Successfully collect the ripe apples and earn more points!




3. Wash that Salad!
Before you enjoy that fresh picked salad, remember to wash it well and give it a spin to get it dry! Clean, dry salad equals lots of points.





4. Wrap that Candy!
To keep food fresh (and yes, we think candy is food) you have to package it well. Wrap the candy as it comes down the conveyor belt and pack into crates for a zillion or so points. If you think this mission looks easy, check out how challenging wrapping candy was for Lucy and Ethel at the attached classic YouTube clip!
