Description
The e-book Zombie Solution and accompanying gaming app Eat This Zombies by Umfer Solutions provide a creative, interactive way to teach healthy dietary and exercising habits. The game involves throwing healthy food at zombies to make them human. Failure to slash bad foods causes the zombies to become aggressive. The game is designed for ages 4 and up.
Goal / Mission
The goal of The Zombie Solution is to teach youth to eat healthy and learn coping skills to deal with stress via games.
Results / Accomplishments
The game can be used by others who have already implemented a program to enhance it and help youth learn in a fun way.

A Good Idea meets the following HCI criteria:
- The program description includes: the sponsoring organization, program goals, program funding source, program implementation steps and outcomes.
- The program evaluation is limited to descriptive measure(s) of success/accomplishment (i.e., program participation rates, number of services/education sessions/radio messages provided). Note: oftentimes, the program has been newly implemented and a program evaluation has not yet been conducted. Programs that have not yet been evaluated, but which show promise in improving health or quality of life, are classified as Good Ideas until an evaluation is conducted.
