About the Game

COOK & CLICK

Welcome to the Kitchen Grind

Cook & Click is an idle/clicker game where you run a bustling culinary empire. Start by chopping ingredients one click at a time, unlock new recipes, hire chefs to automate production, and expand to multiple locations across the globe. Watch your restaurant chain grow while you progress through an addictive cycle of clicking, earning, and upgrading.

CORE GAMEPLAY

Chopping & Harvesting Click to chop ingredients and earn money. Each completed dish gives you immediate rewards. As you progress, the game continues working for you even when you're not clicking—the true essence of an idle game.

Five Ingredient Categories Master five distinct ingredient families:

  • Vegetables (Onion, Tomato, Pepper, Carrot, Cucumber, Garlic)

  • Fruits (Apple, Lemon, Watermelon, Strawberry, Banana, Pineapple)

  • Fish (Shrimp, Salmon, Octopus, Blowfish, Shark, Crab)

  • Meats (Chicken, Steak, Burger, Ribs, Sausage, Bacon)

  • Pastries (Muffin, Croissant, Cookie, Donut, Chocolate, Wedding Cake)

PROGRESSION SYSTEMS

Unlock & Ascend Unlock new ingredients by spending earnings. Each category has a "seal" requirement—unlock all 6 ingredients in a category to earn its seal and unlock the next tier. It's a gradual climb with clear milestones.

Prestige & Expansion After reaching certain thresholds, open new restaurant locations. Each location resets your progress but grants permanent prestige points that boost your overall earning power permanently.

Skill Tree Unlock a golden skill tree with passive and active abilities that enhance your production, increase earnings, and unlock new mechanics. Skills stack for exponential growth.

AUTOMATION & UPGRADES

Hire Chefs Recruit automated chefs (20 levels) who work for you continuously. Each level improves their efficiency exponentially.

Enhance Your Tools Purchase upgrades:

  • Market Price Boosts — Increase the base reward per ingredient (20 levels)

  • Sharpener — Temporarily boost all earnings by 2-4× for 30 seconds (with cooldown-free progression)

  • Combo Master — Chain manual clicks to unlock multipliers up to ×5 for 5 seconds

SPECIAL MECHANICS

Golden Ingredients Randomly, a golden variant of your current ingredient appears. Completing golden items gives 10× the normal reward but costs extra effort. Master them to maximize profits.

Daily Cycles Each workday lasts 5 minutes of real time. At day's end, receive a summary showing your earnings, milestones reached, and progress toward bonuses.

Lore & Narrative Experience quirky office-themed story moments as you grow your empire. Your boss calls at key milestones with absurd demands and encouragement.

ACHIEVEMENTS & GOALS

Over 73 achievements await, spanning ingredient mastery (100M cuts per ingredient), golden hunts (1M golden items), skill tree completion, and prestige milestones. Unlock them to enhance your bragging rights and track your progress.
