A casual mobile game — dice in one hand, steamer basket in the other

DICE & DUMPLINGS RESTAURANT

Roll the dice, unlock the recipe, fold it, serve it before the table gets up. Then roll again.

  • Dice + kitchen sim
  • Casual
  • One-handed play

Two games nobody had put on the same counter

Dice games are about the moment the cup leaves your hand. Restaurant games are about the moment four tables fill up at once. DICE & DUMPLINGS RESTAURANT puts them in the same minute: you roll, you read what the dice gave you, and the kitchen has to cope with it.

A roll is never just a number here. Doubles open a filling you have not folded before. A low spread means working the lunch rush on cabbage and nothing else. A clean straight hands you the pork-and-chive your regulars have been asking for since the first day. You are not waiting on a timer to tell you what to cook — you are reading the dice and deciding what the menu can survive.

Everything above the stove follows from that. Pleats get faster because you bought a better board. The steamer stack grows because you earned it, not because an hour went by. And the score at the end of the week is the honest sum of what you rolled and what you did with it.

What you actually do in there

Roll for the recipe book

Recipes and ingredients are unlocked by dice, not by a shopping list. Chase the combination you need, or cook with the hand you were dealt.

Serve the rush

Tables fill, orders stack, steam goes up. Fold, plate and clear before patience runs out — the rush is where a good roll turns into a good night.

Upgrade the kitchen

Bigger steamer stacks, a faster folding board, a prep station that keeps the fillings coming. Each upgrade changes how many orders a shift can hold.

Expand the menu

Start with the basics and work outwards — soup dumplings, pan-fried, dessert baskets. New dishes bring new customers who order differently.

Play for the high roll

Your best rolls go on the board against everyone else's. Same dice, same kitchen, very different nerve.

Spin when you open up

The daily spin hands you a starter: ingredients, coins, sometimes a rare filling you would have rolled for all week.

Modes on the menu

Four ways to spend ten minutes in the shop. Ask for any of them by name.

Where everyone starts

Dinner Rush

The core shift: roll at the start, cook what it gave you, clear the room before closing.

  • Opening roll sets the night's menu
  • Orders stack while you fold
  • Tips scale with how fast you clear

Recipe Roll

Dice against the recipe book — push for the combination that unlocks a filling you have never folded.

  • Re-rolls you have to earn
  • Rarer fillings behind harder spreads
  • Unlocks carry into every other mode

The Daily Spin

One spin each time you open the shop, for the day's starting stock.

  • Ingredients, coins or a rare filling
  • Takes about as long as it sounds
  • No queueing, no waiting room

High-Roll Table

Your best rolls of the week, put next to everybody else's.

  • Same dice for every player
  • Score counts the shift, not just the roll
  • Board resets so it never goes stale

Modes and contents are described as designed; what ships in a given build is confirmed when you get the invite.

Built for the gap between two things

A shift is short on purpose. The game is designed around the bus stop, the kettle, the five minutes before someone else is ready — open it, roll, cook a room full of orders, close it, and nothing is left half-done behind you.

That shape decides a lot. Progress is kept in whole shifts, so you never put the phone down mid-pleat and lose the night. Upgrades are bought with what you earned at the counter rather than paid out over a countdown. And the daily spin is one spin and a start, not a lobby you have to sit in.

What it adds up to over a week is a shop that looks like your luck and your choices: a menu you rolled into existence, a kitchen you decided to spend on, and a board that quietly says whether you pushed the dice one throw too far on Thursday.

How the invite works

  1. Send your details

    Name, email, and a line about the kind of games you usually play. That line is genuinely useful to us.

  2. We write back

    A real reply from the team, telling you which round of early play you are in and what device it needs.

  3. You get the build

    A link to the current version, with a short note on what is finished and what is still half-folded.

  4. You tell us what broke

    Rough edges, unfair rolls, the rush that was impossible — it goes straight to the people changing it.

Ask for an invite

Leave your details and we will get in touch about early play, press builds or partnership questions.

  • Someone on the game team reads it — no ticket queue.
  • You get a reply with the next round of early play and what it needs.
  • First thing we ask is which phone you play on, so the build actually runs.
