And that’s only half of the games you’ll get in the Edible Games® Cookbook. The food isn’t just a delicious treat on the side, it’s a vital part of playing the game. Read on to learn about the entire baker’s dozen of games.

Master Taster
Do you have the taste buds to become the Master Food Taster in the Land?

Veggie Land
Eat your veggies to be the first to reach the finish line
Roll the dice, then decide whether to move and eat the veggie on that square or sit tight and wait for something you like better. An adult modification of this game is Cheesy Land, with gourmet cheeses. Yum
Patisserie Code
An escape the room style game with dessert included
The Pastry Chef is recruiting French Underground fighters to serve as spies. She has encrypted her messages with a selection of flavour-coded cream puffs. Only by eating these delectable clues and working out the words they represent can you prove your loyalty to her sweet cause.
Taste Bud is Blind
Mix and match flavors to make the tastiest combination
Take a base ingredient, add up to 6 other ingredients, then feed it to the nominated “Taste Bud” for this round. You get points based on your rank AND the number of ingredients you use. Take turns being the blind “Taste Bud”.
Flavour Roulette
Risk your taste buds to poker-face your way to victory
Everything on the plate looks the same — but one of these things is not like the others. Take turns eating the food. If your bite tastes bad, try not to give it away. The player with the best poker face wins!
Gingerbread Friends
Find out more about your friends over some gingerbread
Ask one of the strange life questions and guess how the group will answer. If you’re right, you’ll get to eat a gingerbread lid and see if you’ve found a prize. If you haven’t got a prize, you might get a clue to where the next prize is.
Roll for Flavour
Compete for ingredients while baking
A game where you make unique cupcakes from scratch. The catch? You have to compete with others for the ingredients you want. It’s a game where you’ll create new flavours and learn how to bake.
J-Wobbler
Wobble your way to victory
Wobble a tray of jelly, land the jawbreaker on a bear, EAT that square! Now everyone has to avoid your hole! A fun and simple game that can be made using a packet of jelly or from scratch.
High Tea Assassin
A bluffing game with monarchs, jam, and scones!
Eat high tea delicacies like scones, cucumber sandwiches and chocolates to determine if you are the Monarch, Loyal Subject or Assassin. Can the Monarch deduce who is the Assassin and avoid getting killed by jam?
Cookie Cruncher
It’s like Tetris, but you can nibble the cookies to make them fit
Fit cookies onto a Scrabble-like grid to get points. Before placing the cookie, you can nibble off corners or heads to be able to fit more cookies in. The player with the most points wins.
Flip ‘n’ Stick
Throw your food and see what sticks!
Throw raisins or M&Ms at cookies smeared with peanut butter. If you hit the cookie you said you’d aim for, flip it upside down and get points for whatever sticks! Make your own cookies and peanut butter, or go nut-free and use crackers and hummus.
Treasure Cake
Can you steal the dragon’s secret treasure hiding in his cake using only a straw and your taste buds?
Poke your straw into the cake and extract the blue frosting in order to gather as much treasure as you can before the dragon comes toppling down. Treasure Cake is fun for birthdays, holidays or any other celebration.
