GAMES WE LOVE

Hodgepodge Hunch

Let’s play a game of “Chef or spy?”

A Shining Hotpot is the dish to make in the Hodgepodge Hunch kitchen. Only not every chef in the kitchen is pulling their weight. There’s a spy in your ranks, and you’ll need to root them out before they ruin your hotpot with a forbidden ingredient – and turn it into a hodgepodge!

What we love: The delicious suspense! Gather ingredients with your fellow chefs, then just before you add them to the magic pot, vote to veto one of the ingredients from the most suspicious chef. Making delicious hotpots scores you points, and filling the points gauge within seven rounds wins you the game.

Quick tip: Start with Solo Mode to familiarise yourself with the story and game mechanics, then move on to Multiplayer Mode to eliminate the spy – or become one yourself.
