About us
What started out as a small spark on the streets of Marseille became an unstopable force that had to be manifested into reality. The idea of merging the world of food into a game was something that deeply intrigued us. It was about going back to the roots of each country and peel back the curtian to see what identifies as cultural heritage. Among language, history and customs there aren't many things that can be as representative of a nation's culture as food. To incorporate and integrate and make more use of the culture sphere we have tried to add historical, geographical and customary facts to emphasise each country's and dish's uniqueness.
We are now dedicated to bringing this experience into your home and for you to discover the world through game, food and culture. Layered with a digital component that allows you to learn how to cook a nation's favourite we want to merge the best of both worlds - the physical and the digital. Supported by our philosophy "play, learn, and connect" we aim to strive for continuous improvement and communal support to bringing the world closer together through the joint love for food.
