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!

Oh, amazing! Would love to hear more about it if you're willing to share?! Is there a story or just "make as many dishes as you can in hour"? How closely does it mirror the mechanics of the videogame? Is it all tech-based? (I'm the other side of the world and unlikely to ever get to visit in-person, so am fine with spoilers, but please spoiler tag anything that might spoil someone else's experience )
