2 Cooks 1 Mess

2 Cooks 1 Mess is a multiplayer cooking game about keeping a restaurant running as orders, mess and unexpected problems pile up. You prepare dishes, serve customers, clean and manage a crew of cooks, servers, dishwashers and cleaners. You can play solo or team up online, progressing from a struggling rookie to a restaurant master.

Manage your crew

Each employee has strengths that affect their work, and you can improve their skills to shape your team and play style. Choose who to assign to the restaurant’s jobs as you try to keep the kitchen under control.

Upgrade the kitchen

You can upgrade cooking stations to slice, fry and clean faster. Repair broken chairs and shaky ladders, and fix other things that break during service. Improvements help your workflow, though unexpected events can disrupt it again.

Shifts and locations

Levels contain strange surprises that force you to improvise, and no two shifts feel the same. You cook through varied locations, each with its own challenges and menu to master. Along the way, you meet funny characters, find hidden easter eggs and follow a light story.

Multiplayer

You can play online with friends, working together as orders build up and ingredients fly across the kitchen. Local splitscreen supports up to 12 players on one machine. Each splitscreen player runs an independent game instance, so players can play online, invite their own friends, trigger different events or use a separate display.
