Welcome to Doinkus Drivethru: The universe's latest interdimensional late-night snack bar!

You and your friend have been selected to manage this prestigious takeaway joint, where creatures from many corners of reality will demand bizarre meals with ingredients you've never seen before.

Listen and Communicate:

One of you will be the Head Chef, taking orders from our valued interstellar customers and mixing strange ingredients to create eclectic orders. The other is our esteemed Recipe Interpreter, the sole keeper of Doinkus Drivethru’s sacred and top-secret recipe book. You may be confused at first, but we have full confidence you’ll figure it out! Hard hard can it really be?

Head Chef: 

Take customer orders and relay them to your Interpreter. Listen carefully to your Interpreter’s descriptions. Select & combine described ingredients, and serve.

Recipe Interpreter: 

Find the recipe the Head Chef requires and do your best to describe the strange and surreal ingredients you see from your secret manual.

Crucial Rule: 

Never, EVER show your screens or recipe book to each other. Doing so will result in immediate contract termination.

Now get to it! The reputation of Doinkus Drivethru is in your hands!
