Merge Cooking®

Merge Cooking® casts the player as a chef building a restaurant business with help from an assistant named Lea. The core loop is simple: tap, drag, and merge ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, cheese, seafood, and other foods, then use them to prepare dishes for hungry customers. Seven types of equipment, including a frying pan, blender, oven, and cocktail shaker, support the cooking process. There is no time pressure, and the game can be played offline.

Progression takes the chef around the world, with destinations including New York, Bangkok, Tokyo, and Paris. Each location introduces recipes and regional cuisines such as Eggs Benedict, Tom Yam Gong, sushi, tacos, kebabs, and ramen, alongside restaurant themes including fast food, barbecue, and seafood. Players can upgrade culinary skills, unlock dishes and souvenirs, and renovate restaurants with new designs. Customer encounters add character-focused stories to the food journey. A limited-time SpongeBob collaboration adds Bikini Bottom residents, underwater ingredients, special dishes, and a SpongeBob Pass with event rewards; this content is available only in select regions and for a limited time.
