You might be wondering how someone becomes a game designer. 

We grew up in Bangalore playing board games, video games, and D&D campaigns. Building worlds, inventing mechanics, and figuring out how players interact with them was always our favourite part of gaming, so eventually we decided to try creating something of our own.

That "something" became Get Cooked.

The first version was a disaster: over 300 scribbled flash cards, wildly unbalanced mechanics, but our ingredients were in place, we just had to figure out how to cook.

So we kept iterating.

We built prototypes, ran playtest after playtest, and eventually took the game to TTOX, India’s biggest tabletop convention. It was BOLD, but what did we have to lose? What came next was something none of us ever expected.

People were lining up to try our game, many ready to buy it on the spot! The response was incredible, but more importantly, we received invaluable feedback from experienced gamers and designers, and our next step was clear - MAKE THE DAMN GAME.

We went back to the drawing board, refined every mechanic, trimmed off the unnecessary bits, and continued testing until the game became what we had always imagined it could be.

Today, Get Cooked is the result of countless hours of design, playtesting, and collaboration. It's a game built by gamers, for gamers, and brought to life with amazing artwork from talented artists who helped transform our ideas into something truly special.

We're still a small team, and we're still learning. But we're passionate about creating memorable experiences, growing the Indian board game scene, and making games that bring people together.

This is just the beginning.
