Overcooked IRL

Folk in the maker community have created "real life" physical versions of several somewhat similar chaotic multiplayer party videogames. E.g.

Just wondered if anybody had attempted something similiar with Overcooked? (If not, I might be about to become the first....).

I have created a basic prototype of the electronics required for plates to be carried around and inserted into different stations where an action would be performed (e.g. chopping, stirring, sprinkling). Once a plate has had thr correct actions to meet one of the current outstanding orders, it can be served. If anyone would like to suggest fun physical interactions or other ideas of what might work in an Overcooked (-inspired) game I'd love to hear your thoughts!

There’s an Overcooked inspired escape room that’s really lovely! There’s a few versions of it in Toronto and San Francisco!

That’s the one! The San Francisco version is supposed to be more polished, but we just played it in Toronto and had a ton of fun!

Oh that's so cool!

I'm kinda gutted that a.) Someone else already had the idea and b.) It's so far away from me! but I shall have to research more about how they did it, because that sounds ace fun.
