What is Chefs Arena?

Overcooked meets Delicious in Dungeon

A competitive party game where two teams gather ingredients, cook and serve dishes to an ever-hungry King to score points โ€” while sabotaging and stealing from each other. It's eat or be eaten. Easy to pick up, deep enough to master. Play 1v1, 2v2, or any combination against friends, family, online strangers, monsters or bots.

Unique Arenas

Each of the King's realms plays vastly differently, with its own ingredients, creatures and one-of-a-kind features.

Scheme & Play Together

Sabotage and steal your rivals' dishes โ€” online or offline, with friends or bots. Bragging rights on the line.

Steal & Sabotage

Not a fan of their cooking? Ruin it.

Toss a carrot into their mushroom soup, steal their finished dishes, and lay traps across the arena. Fire the cannon, spring the pitfall, and let the King's fake audience boo and cheer your every dirty trick. In this kitchen, it's eat or be eaten.

Dinner in a dungeon. Picnic in the blossoms. Lunch in the clouds.

Every arena showcases a unique setting with its own features and interactive ways to deliver faster โ€” or take out the enemy. Beware the resident creatures: you might become their food.
