Excellent 'bingo' style game with a difference.

Each player can have one of 5 different boards. Each board features a cook preparing a different meal: Pink (girl) cakes; blue (girl) shepherd's pie; red (boy) noodles; green (boy) pizza; yellow (boy) kebabs.

There are different tiles to collect to fill your board up - not only the food ingredients, but things you would need to make it (e.g potato peeler).

Take it in turns to choose a tile, if it's yours, put on one of your 7 spaces. If it's someone else's, put it back (they have to watch where it goes!).

Unlike most bingo games though, the winner isn't the first person to fill their board. Once you have all your tiles, spin the spinner. First you need the arrow to land on a plate, then on your next turn you need the arrow to land on a boy or girl ready to eat. There are plate and meal tiles provided - my children refuse to stop playing until every chef has made their dish. The addition of the spinner at the end adds a random element to the game that my girls love - especially as Daddy is notoriously bad at having the arrow land where he wants it to!

We love Orchard Toys in our house, so we were thrilled to be sent a few different games to test as part of the Toyologist program.
Made of the usual strong, sturdy, coated hardboard, Crazy Chefs was enjoyed by the whole family, and is certainly another winner... and priced at only £7.99 it's a game you can't afford not to get!

My 3-year-old daughter loves this game. It is helping to develop her memory & she is learning all about the different ingredients & equipment needed to make different meals. Would definately recommend to others.

Great fun memory game. Loved by both my daughters - although there's a regular dispute over who gets the fairy cake card!! Highly recommended.

All the chefs have been given names now that we've played it so much. We've had it since our eldest was 3 and he's now 6 and still enjoys playing it with his younger brother and parents!

A simple game with simple instructions and the wonderful "spinny thing" that kids love!

My older kids (2 1/2 & almost 5) absolutely love this game, it takes just the right amount of time and they don't lose interest. It combines memory skills and luck, wich makes it really fun because even those who aren't quite so good at remembering yet have a chance to win. You have to collect ingredients to cook a meal and the first person to do so wins. Lots of fun & definitely educational!

Another great Orchard game which boosts memory and encourages my children to discuss food and what is needed when making dinner in terms of ingredients and utensils.
