Let's Play with GEMH - Overcooked!

30-11-2017

As the end of this month approaches and a new theme finds its way to our lab, we have decided to celebrate this month's theme - prosociality and kindness - with a Let's Play! In this edition, Anouk, Babet and myself have played a fun yet chaotic cooking game called Overcooked!, in which we venture to conquer the kitchen with teamwork and cordiality!

Our choice for this game was based on kindness being an important factor when it comes to teamwork - you need each other to get the job done, and while being bossy may work for the first couple of levels, kindness may be the key to keeping the peace in the kitchen, in the long term. Overcooked! is one of those games that can break or make relationships, with people reacting in all sorts of different ways to the stress they face. Want to see whether our team stands the test of time(-outs)!? Find out for yourself, and remember: you always catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
