The food here is fictional
The burgers, pizza slices, fruit, ingredients and desserts in these games are game objects: coloured tokens with point values and spawn behaviour. They are not real food, they do not represent real products, and their in-game properties have nothing to do with anything in the physical world.
A golden cake is worth 120 points in Food Catcher because that is the tier-4 value in our collectible catalogue. That number is a game-balance decision and carries no meaning outside the game.
Not nutritional, dietary or medical advice
Nothing on this site is nutritional, dietary, medical or health advice, and nothing here should be used to make decisions about what you eat. We do not publish calorie information, dietary recommendations, weight-management guidance or health claims about any food.
If you want advice about food and health, speak to a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian. This is a site about arcade games.
Not cooking or food-safety instruction
The cooking games on this site are time-management arcade games. They do not simulate real cooking, do not teach technique and contain no recipes. Order tickets like "bread, lettuce, tomato, cheese" are sequences of button presses, not instructions.
Nothing here is food-safety guidance. For that, consult your national food safety authority.
No brand affiliation
Food Arcade is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any restaurant, food producer, retailer, chef or food brand. No real product is depicted, named or endorsed anywhere on this site.
We are likewise not affiliated with any game publisher or studio. Our games are original works. Where they use standard arcade conventions — jumping, collecting, combo multipliers — those conventions belong to the medium, not to any one company.
No gambling and no real-money rewards
There is no gambling on this site. No game involves wagering, no game contains a loot box or randomised paid reward, and no score can be exchanged for money, prizes or anything of value. Points are points.
Scores are local and unverified
Every score, record and statistic shown on this site comes from your own browser's storage. It is not verified, not compared against anyone else and not transmitted anywhere. Where the site says "your local best", it means exactly that.
The popular games page ranks by your own play history for the same reason: we have no worldwide data and will not invent any.
Technical accuracy
Articles describing web technology are written to be accurate at the time of publication and are checked against primary documentation. Browser behaviour changes over time. If you find something out of date or wrong, tell us and we will correct it under our fact-checking policy.
External links
We link to external sites where a source genuinely helps a reader. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or availability. A link is a citation, not an endorsement.
Availability
The site is provided free of charge with no guarantee of availability. Games may be updated, rebalanced or, rarely, withdrawn. Browser or device compatibility may change in ways outside our control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these games educational about food?
No. They are arcade games that use food as a visual and mechanical vocabulary. They contain no nutritional or culinary information.
Do the games contain gambling or paid rewards?
No. There is no wagering, no loot box, no purchasable content and no way to convert a score into anything of value.
Are your games related to any commercial game I might know?
No. Every game here is an original work built on an engine written for this site. Shared genre conventions are not shared content.
Why do you keep saying scores are local?
Because it is true and it matters. There is no server collecting scores, so any claim of a worldwide ranking would be fabricated.
