Cooking with Bebo: penguin that teaches child to cook

It begins with the story of a penguin-chef who goes on a journey to learn how to prepare national dishes of different countries: France, Italy and Greece.

Bebo (which, by the way, is a real macaroni penguins) - hero of the game and head. He tells us what to do, tells of useful products, encourages and just have fun.

All in the game are available nine recipes, three for each country: appetizer, main course and dessert. Each successive dish can be cooked after the previous level is passed. Then the cooks waiting for the bonus, which will tell later.

Every recipe starts from the beginning, that is, with the choice of products. Since the game for children, all the ingredients you need to get directly from the refrigerator or cupboard (instead of buying in a store, for example). And yet all the all the details will not be taken into account, the next step is not possible. Without oil penguin does not offer fry the onion, without salt can not cook broth.

When products are selected, it is time to move on to the fun part - to the preparation of meals. This stage is so close to reality as possible. You need to measure out the products? Arm with a spoon or measuring cup. You need to grate the cheese? Take the grater and work. Vegetables should be cut? We carry a knife on these lines. For each completed task to earn points.

When the pots and pans are on the stove, you need to mix the active ingredients and keep an eye on the timer. The treatment time is specified real, but, of course, move your finger across the screen will not have 10 minutes: everything is happening at a rapid pace. But if you take the trouble to fake and then and scores for cooking credited less.

All actions are carried out in stages, according to the list. And it is impossible to get lost, and to remember all the easier. A required element of each dish - the correct table setting.

Other heroes of the game - a fox, bear and raccoon - evaluate the finished dish. Here also played the role of points that have been earned in the preparation. If lazy and do not cut the onions to the broth (and throw the whole onion), it will not affect the review. But if undercooked ingredients, poorly mixed vegetables or put too little food, the judges will be strict.

Bear is usually happy to eat almost everything, but the fox and raccoon often find fault.

Separate paragraph deserves a free mode. Once mastered the three main meals, open access to creativity. In this mode, the ingredients are selected independently, and what happens in the end, depends only on the player. For example, experimental pizza with kiwi and fungi, as in the screenshot above. If a child realizes the desire for such experiments in the game, but not at this kitchen, it will save the taste buds of the whole family.

What can we learn this game? Besides the obvious advantages - recipes in a playful way - there are hidden bonuses. First, the child opens up new ingredients, dishes and names. Second, the app teaches to pay attention to the little things. Adults perceive for granted that before frying in the pan you need to drip oil, sauté the onion that until golden brown. And children need to explain these basics. Third, the game shows that in the kitchen, of course, need to work, but it is very fun to work with a good result.

The application has no built-shopping and advertising, the extra information is not distracting and does not interfere with remembering the sequence of actions in cooking. While the game is only available for iOS, but in the near future, developers plan to launch a version for Android.

Beautiful, interesting game with the recipes of life. Surely the child will want to repeat their success in the application in a conventional kitchen. Hammer products refrigerator and prepare for culinary exploits. After passing the game will succeed with a plus five.
