Are you ready for a flavour-fuelled adventure? Flambé: Merge and Cook lets you combine your way into a culinary empire. Come sample the fruits of success!

What we love: The relaxing gameplay starts off with the most basic ingredients. Then it’s a matter of merging like items to yield rarer ones until you eventually assemble mouthwatering dishes. Rendered in Flambé: Merge and Cook’s bright and cheery art style, the exquisite delicacies are sure to pique your appetite as you play. Fulfil customer orders, unlock new recipes and expand your restaurant – there’s always something new on your plate.

Quick tip: Your inventory space is limited, so you’ll want to be strategic with your merging and storage choices. Maximise your earning potential by prioritising your current recipe’s ingredients and discarding unnecessary items.
