Simon Says Online With Friends: How Chef Says Works
By the eggverse team · · 2 min read
Chef Says turns the familiar Simon Says listening game into a quick eggverse contest. Follow a command only when it begins with “Chef says.” A wrong response, a late response, or a move during a fake command costs one of your three hearts. The calls get faster as the rounds go on.
Play solo against seven bots, or bring two to eight friends into the same browser room. Open Chef Says to start. Chef gives the commands, so no friend has to sit out as the caller.
Start a game with friends
On the Chef Says game page, choose Play with friends, share the room invitation, and ready up together. Choose Play solo if you want to learn the controls first. The game runs in your browser without a download.
Learn the calls before the pace picks up
On a computer, Space hops, E flaps, and WASD or the arrow keys answer directional calls. On a phone, use the on screen arrow pad, Hop, and Flap buttons. Give everyone a moment to find those controls before the first round.
| Call | Correct response |
|---|---|
| Chef says hop | Hop |
| Hop | Do nothing. Chef did not say the opening phrase. |
| Chef says freeze | Press nothing. |
For a combo, enter the actions from left to right. Release a direction between repeated arrows so each press counts. Read the whole call before moving: reacting to a familiar word in a fake command still costs a heart.
How to win
The last egg standing wins. If more than one egg survives all eight rounds, the egg with the most hearts wins. Speed helps, but checking whether Chef actually said the phrase matters more.
For a mixed group, try one real command, one fake command, and freeze as a warm up. Chef Says is competitive, but everyone can learn the controls together before the calls get fast.
