Merge Chef: Cook & Travel

A fresh start, one recipe at a time.

Merge Chef: Cook & Travel is a cozy mobile merge puzzle game about food, family, and finding the courage to begin again. Join Claire, a former hotel chef, and her daughter Riley as a small community food table grows into a journey across the world's kitchens. Produce ingredients, create delicious dishes, fulfill guest orders, and use your earnings to bring new recipes and destinations to life.

MERGE, COOK, AND SERVE

Start on a 7x9 merge board. Tap generators to produce basic ingredients, then drag two matching items together to create a higher-level one. Grain becomes dough, dough becomes bread, and simple ingredients grow into complete meals through satisfying chains of discovery. Every combination brings you closer to a guest's order, a useful reward, or the next chapter of Claire's story. Limited space makes every choice matter: combine now, save an item for later, upgrade a generator, or move supplies into inventory.

COMPLETE ORDERS AND BUILD DISHES

Each guest arrives with a different request. Prepare every required item and serve the completed order to earn coins, experience, and rewards. Special Smile Orders add extra goals to regular play. Finish a quick order during a short break or plan several difficult recipes in a longer session.

Use coins to advance Claire's culinary journey. Place ingredients one by one and watch unfinished food transform into a completed dish. Sauces, toppings, sides, and final touches appear as you progress, turning each step into a visible achievement. Completing dishes unlocks new ingredients, generators, guests, rewards, and locations. The short merge loop feeds directly into long-term growth: produce, combine, serve, build, and travel.

EXPLORE A WORLD OF FOOD

Claire and Riley do more than collect famous recipes. They stay in each city, work beside local cooks, and learn how food reflects the people who make and share it. Their journey begins with a modest brunch stand and expands through Mexico, Italy, Japan, Korea, France, India, Thailand, Spain, Turkey, and beyond.

A HEARTFELT STORY OF STARTING OVER

Claire once worked the demanding breakfast line of a city hotel, but years away from the kitchen left her unsure that her skills were still there. After a painful change in her family life, she finds an old notebook filled with recipes, experiments, failures, and hard-won successes. With Riley beside her, she chooses to begin again at a community center food table. Along the way, local chefs and families share more than recipes. Their lessons help Claire rebuild her confidence while Riley learns to voice her own hopes and fears.

DISCOVER MORE WAYS TO PLAY

Open timed chests and reward boxes for generator pieces, currency, energy, and board items. Merge generator parts to improve your kitchen and produce advanced ingredients. Organize crowded boards with inventory storage, handle temporary bubble items, and use special cooking tools that combine different ingredients into unique results.

Daily rewards and Seven Day Missions offer clear goals whenever you return. Smile Missions add special rewards to guest orders. The Season Pass provides daily, regular, and bonus missions with free and premium reward tracks. Collect cards and complete Sticker Albums, continue into repeatable challenges, or take on Town Express deliveries connected to ingredients needed by current guests.

RELAX, PLAN, AND CREATE

A portrait layout, intuitive drag controls, colorful food art, expressive characters, and satisfying effects make the game comfortable to enjoy with one hand. Complete one order in a few minutes or settle in to plan a longer chain of recipes and rewards.

Help Claire prepare her first order, fill empty plates, meet cooks from around the world, and build a life she and Riley can choose together.
