Games like Overcooked for chaotic co-op nights

PlateUp! is the closest game to Overcooked: the same rush of orders, plus a restaurant you rebuild between days. Moving Out 2 and Tools Up! keep the shouting but swap food for furniture and paint.

Overcooked basics

Overcooked is a co-op cooking game by Ghost Town Games, published by Team17 in 2016. Up to four chefs chop, cook, plate and wash dishes while the kitchen splits in half, slides on ice or rides on a truck. Overcooked! 2 followed in 2018, and Overcooked! All You Can Eat bundles both.

The fun is the talking. Someone yells for onions, someone drops the plate, the timer runs out, everyone laughs.
