How to play Chef Says

Play solo against seven bots or bring 2–8 friends. The Chef calls moves: hop, flap, arrows, arrow combos and freeze. Only answer when the call starts with “Chef says”. Answer too late, press the wrong move or fall for a fake out and you lose a heart. For Freeze, press nothing. Follow combos from left to right, releasing between repeated arrows. Three hearts each; every round is faster. Last egg standing wins. If several eggs survive all eight rounds, most hearts wins.

Can I play Chef Says with friends?

Yes. A friends room supports 2–8 players. Choose Play with friends, share the room invitation, and ready up together.

Can I play alone?

Yes. Choose Play solo for your own round. Friends rooms are a separate option.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Chef Says runs in your browser. Use the keyboard controls above or the game’s on screen controls on a phone.

Is Chef Says like Simon Says?

Yes. Follow a command only when it starts with “Chef says”. A command without those words is a fake out. For Freeze, press nothing.

How do arrow combinations work?

Follow the arrows from left to right. Release the key between repeated arrows. A wrong move, late response or fake out costs a heart.
