Cooking Challenge
A head-to-head donut decorating round, scored on the look of the finished piece.
The rival-framed release in the studio’s donut contest series, and the closest of the three to a straight head-to-head. Two characters work the same donuts and a verdict follows; nothing else in the game changes.
Stating the obvious rather than hiding it: this shares its mechanics with two other titles in this catalogue. If you have played one, the other two offer a different cast and a slightly different topping tray, not a different game.
What the format does well is being short. A round takes a minute or two, the tray is generous enough to make different results, and the verdict arrives quickly — which suits a decorating game far better than a long structure would.
Controls
Tap toppings and sauces to apply them, then hand the donut to the judges.
How to Play
- Take the plain donut from the tray.
- Choose a base and cover the surface.
- Add candy, chocolate and syrup details.
- Hand it over for the verdict.
Tips & Tricks
Cover the whole surface before adding detail. A base that stops short leaves a pale ring at the edge, and the detail pieces cannot reach far enough out to hide it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a round last?
A minute or two. The format is deliberately short rather than a full contest.
Is Cooking Challenge different from Cooking Contest?
Only in framing and cast. The two share their mechanics along with a third title from the same studio.
