Snap and developer Mojiworks are rolling out the Ready Chef Go mobile messaging game globally after a successful test in its first month.
The companies said that the players of the Snapchat cooking game served half a billion in-game orders during the first month (it launched in a closed beta on December 19). That doesn’t tell us how many downloads there were, but it does show there was a lot of engagement in this multiplayer game. You can play the game in a Snapchat window, without any need to download the content.
In Ready Chef Go, friends can play together to out-cook other teams in quick rounds of up to 60 seconds, adding upgrades and boosts that come from ads to get ahead.
Mojiworks is the first third-party developer to launch a game featuring 3D Bitmojis.

The game has six restaurant modes that are available at different times of day, and their short development cycles provide for a lot of scope for seasonal modes and spontaneous in-game events. Mojiworks is working on new modes, progression elements, and friend-oriented perks.

Ready Chef Go is the sixth third-party title to launch on Snap Games, a synchronous gaming platform built on the powerful PlayCanvas game engine. In Snapchat, you can open a Chat or Group Chat with friends, and tap the rocket icon to launch Snap Games. Snapchatters can chat with friends through voice and text-based features as they play.
