2 Cooks 1 Mess

About the Game

Welcome to 2 Cooks 1 Mess! A chaotic online multiplayer cooking game where running a restaurant is equal parts skill and survival. Manage a team of cooks, servers, cleaners and dishwashers, each with their own strengths, and try to keep your kitchen under control. Prepare dishes, serve customers, clean nonstop and deal with unpredictable events that turn every shift into pure culinary madness. Play solo or team up online and climb from struggling rookie to real restaurant master.

Online Multiplayer Chaos

Jump into fast, messy and unpredictable kitchen action with friends. Work together or fall apart as orders pile up and ingredients fly across the room. The fun comes from the chaos you try to control.

Employees Management

Manage your own crew of cooks, servers, dishwashers and cleaners. Each employee has strengths that affect how they work, and you can improve their skills to shape the perfect restaurant team. Pick wisely and create your own style of play.

Build, Upgrade, Repair

Upgrade your cooking stations to slice, fry and clean faster, repair broken chairs and shaky ladders, and patch up anything that decides to fall apart mid-service. Every improvement boosts your workflow... until chaos strikes again.

Unplanned Kitchen Disasters

Expect the unexpected. Levels are filled with strange surprises that shake up the kitchen, force you to improvise and push your teamwork to the limit. No two shifts ever feel the same.

A World Full of Flavors

Cook your way through varied locations, each with its own vibe, challenges and menu to master. Meet funny characters, discover hidden easter eggs and enjoy a light story as you progress through the world.

Local Splitscreen Chaos

Think your PC is strong? Prove it.

Our splitscreen system doesn't fake it, it spawns multiple full game instances, splits the screen, and assigns a controller to each one. Add players until your CPU sweats, your GPU screams, or your cooling setup earns its paycheck.

Each splitscreen player runs a real, independent game, meaning everyone can play online, invite their own friends, trigger different events, or even take over a separate display. We've pushed it to 12 players on a single machine. Anything beyond that is between you and your hardware.
