Questions before you cook
Is Cauldron Rush free?
Yes, to start. The tutorial and three complete kitchens (Pumpkin Patch Pantry, Conveyor Cellar, Split Counter) are free, with no account needed. All Access adds 3 more kitchens (The Drifting Cauldron, Gusty Window, Midnight Banquet) for $4.99/month or $29/year USD.
How many people can play?
One cook, or two cooks sharing one device: two keyboards’ worth of keys on a computer, or half a tablet screen each. Online play with separate devices is not available yet.
What are the controls?
Cook 1 walks with WASD, uses E (or Space) to pick up, chop, add, stir, pour and serve, and Q to put down or dump. Cook 2 uses the arrow keys, Enter and Shift. On a touchscreen, drag on the left to walk; the big button always shows what it will do next.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in portrait or landscape. In portrait the kitchen turns to fit the tall screen; sideways gives your thumbs more room. A tablet is the comfiest way for two players to share one screen.
How long is a game?
Each kitchen is a timed shift of about three minutes, and the tutorial takes a few minutes at your own pace. Stars are saved in this browser.
Is it scary?
No. The ghosts at the window are friendly, the bats are helpful and nothing jumps out. Brews boil over into purple foam, never anything gory.
What if I find it too hard alone?
Switch on the helper bat. It flies to the crates and leaves the next ingredient you need beside the cauldrons. You can also replay any kitchen to raise your stars.
My device has no 3D graphics. Can I still play?
Yes. If WebGL is unavailable, the kitchen is drawn flat instead, with the same rules and controls. You can also switch to the flat view from the pause menu.
