Cooking Games: how to play

Cooking Game is a calm restaurant game you play free online, one of the cozy cooking games on Mogi. Bun, a bunny chef who never rushes a dish, runs five little kitchens, from a Sunny Bakery to a Garden Picnic. Friendly animal guests order dishes shown as pictures, and you bake, boil, flip and serve before they run out of patience. The guests are new every day and the same for everyone.

How to play

• Tap or click a food to use it in this cooking game online: fresh food (berries, cream, greens, pizza toppings, salad, lemonade) goes straight onto the plate, and food that needs cooking goes into the first free cooker: the oven, a pot, a pan, the toaster or the grill.
• A bar under each cooker fills while the food cooks. When it says READY, tap the cooker to put the food on your plate. Wait too long and the bar runs down, smoke rises and the food burns, which costs one of your three hearts.
• When the plate matches a guest's picture, the plate and that guest's order glow gold: tap the plate, the guest or SERVE to serve it. CLEAR empties the plate if you make a mistake; only the food on it is lost.
• Each guest has a patience bar. If it runs out, the guest leaves unhappy and you lose a heart. After a lost heart the kitchen waits for three seconds (no patience or burning runs down), so one slip never costs two hearts at once.
• With a keyboard: 1 to 5 pick a food, Q, W and E are the cookers, S serves, X clears the plate, and the arrow keys with Space or Enter reach everything.
• Coins: 10 for each part of the dish, a tip for the patience left (double for a guest in a hurry) and a level bonus of 100 times the level number. Three stars per level: look after every guest, keep all your hearts, and beat the target time.

The five levels

1. Sunny Bakery: bake buns in the oven and top them with cream or berries; two guests at a time
2. Noodle Bar: two pots, so you can cook noodles and eggs at the same time
3. Pizza Kitchen: build the pizza on the plate (dough, sauce, cheese, toppings), then bake the whole plate in one of two ovens
4. Breakfast Café: pancakes need a flip halfway; eggs fry in the pan and bread goes in the toaster
5. Garden Picnic: two grills, up to four guests at once, and guests in a hurry with less patience and a double tip

Clear Garden Picnic and the five places come round again: lap 2 brings one more guest to every level, one more guest at a time (up to four), a little less patience and a little less time before food burns; lap 3 a little more again, and then it stays at that. You have three hearts for the whole run, and the game is the same for everyone each day, so you can compare scores. Press M to turn the sound off or on.

Tips

• Use every cooker: start the noodles and the egg together instead of one after the other.
• Add fresh toppings while the cooked part is still cooking, so the plate is ready the moment it comes out.
• Look after the guest with the shortest patience bar first; a guest with a little clock is in a hurry.
• At the Pizza Kitchen, build the next pizza while the first one bakes in the other oven.

Questions

Is Cooking Game free?

Yes. Cooking Game is a free cooking game: play it online in your browser with no download, no sign-up and nothing to buy.

Can I play this cooking game on my phone?

Yes. Everything is a tap, with no small drags, and it works on phones, tablets and computers. On an upright phone the cookers, the plate and the foods stand in rows under the guests.

Is this restaurant game in a hurry?

Not at first. Each guest has their own patience bar instead of one clock for the level, and the first guests at the Sunny Bakery wait well over a minute. It speeds up gently as the places go by.

What happens if food burns?

Burnt food costs a heart and the cooker empties itself. A READY sign, a bar that runs down and rising smoke warn you first, so there is always time to take it out.
