Shot from Crime Scene Kitchen. Two contestants stare intensely at a spice rack in a kitchen. The kitchen is filled with various appliances and ingredients, some of which are labelled.

Reality TV cooking shows are technically cooking games, but Crime Scene Kitchen seems like the perfect candidate for a video game adaptation. You reverse engineer recipes based on clues left behind in the kitchen!

Honestly I'm on @cookingminigames.bsky.social way more often than I am on my own account, but yes if you're at #MIGW and your game has anything to do with cooking, even minorly, give me a shout!

Hello those of you at #MIGW!

If your game has a cooking mechanic or minigame, is a cooking game, or there's something cooking-adjacent (like a cookbook), let me know so I can feature it on here!

(I'm also based in Melbourne, but am out sick, so I don't know if I'll be able to attend anything T_T)
