The Boiled Eggs Game Review

The Boiled Eggs Game Background

The boiled eggs is a cooking-themed tap timing game. Your objective is to keep the eggs in the ideal temperature range to cook them to the desired doneness.

How to Play The Boiled Eggs

To select, left click with your mouse or tap on the touchscreen with your fingers.

Select Begin on the bottom center of the welcome screen to get started. The game will show you a basic tutorial on how to run the game. Select Got It on the bottom right corner to proceed with the game.

The pots will automatically boil the eggs after a 5-second timer. You can reduce this by selecting the boil button. After the water comes to a boil, the eggs are placed in. Adjust the temperature of the water to keep it at the right range until the eggs are cooked.

If the water boils too hot, the eggs will overcook. If you overcook 3 sets of eggs, it’s game over. Use the Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp buttons to share the game and your final score with your friends on social media.

Basic Gameplay Advice

Below every pot is the temperature meter and the burn button; selecting the burn button will keep the boiling water in the correct temperature. Left alone, the temperature will move to the left of the meter, causing the water to boil too hot. The same happens if you hit the burn button too much. Keep the meter at the green area until the eggs cook to the desired doneness.

The kinds of eggs differ in their cook times. Soft boiled eggs take the shortest time to cook whereas hard-boiled eggs take the longest.

As you play, more pots of eggs become active. You must balance your time with each one to ensure as many of the eggs are cooked correctly as possible.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Use the temperature’s decay to your advantage. Hit the burn button as many times as you can until it reaches just outside the green region, then let it decay. This will give you ample time to pay attention to the other eggs while still keeping it at an ideal temperature. This technique is especially useful in the late game when you have many pots vying for your attention.

Educational Aspects

The premise of the game highlights the importance of proper temperatures in real-life cooking. To cook eggs (or, indeed, any food) to the desired doneness, one must cook it at the proper temperature at the right time. Increasing the heat in an attempt to speed up the process will only result in overcooking.

The game also challenges a player’s response times and hand-eye coordination to ensure that as many batches of eggs are appropriately cooked as possible.

Player Age Recommendations

This game is suited for players who are school-aged and above. We recommend this to players who like fast-paced tap timing games.
