To learn if playing an augmented reality game called SpellBound can reduce pain and the need for opioids in young patients scheduled for surgery.
Primary Objective: •To assess the efficacy of SpellBound's AR-enabled scavenger hunt to reduce the rate of 90-day opioid use in pediatric cancer patients undergoing surgery compared to a control non-AR game in a randomized controlled trial. Secondary Objectives: To assess the effect of AR versus non-AR control technology in pediatric oncology patients, including: * Inpatient opioid use * Average daily inpatient pain score * Number of opioid requests during the hospital stay * Inpatient PedsQL (quality of life) questionnaire score * Ambulation/"out of bed" movement * Number days to discharge-ready status * Patient experience assessed by satisfaction scores on a questionnaire designed by MD Anderson Cancer Center Child Life team. * Outpatient opioid consumption reported at 30, 60, and 90 days * Outpatient pain scores reported at 30, 60, and 90 days * Outpatient PedsQL scores reported at 30, 60, and 90 days * Potential adverse events related to the use of AR (i.e., falls).
