Gordon Ramsay: Chef Blast for iPhone

Become a match-3 culinary genius

Gordon Ramsay: Chef Blast is a free puzzle mobile video game that lets you win real-life recipes by matching cubes. Developed by Outplay Entertainment Ltd., this is a 2D game that features world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay and his expertise in all things culinary. Its gameplay is easy to follow but still offers a challenge, as well as cool prizes every week or so for active players. Plus, you can play this offline no matter where you are.

Puzzles with a side of yumminess

Gordon James Ramsay is a British chef, restaurateur, television personality, and writer famous for being one of the best-known and most influential chefs in the United Kingdom. Known for presenting TV programs about competitive cooking and food-making—like Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and MasterChef—he’s become popular as one of the world’s foremost experts on the culinary arts. He’s also starred in a video game adaptation of his show called Hell's Kitchen: The Game.

In his other game, Gordon Ramsay: Chef Blast, you have to match cubes instead of running a restaurant. It employs classic tile-matching mechanics—such as creating powerups when you match 4 or more cubes—but you don’t have to slide them and just simply tap the cubes. The level designs and objectives are highly varied most of the time. Plus, everything’s easy to follow along since Chef Ramsay will guide you with a fully-voiced tutorial.

Whenever you complete levels, you can get booster power-ups, avatar portraits, and Hearts. You also slowly unlock exclusive recipes from Gordon Ramsay himself. These are actual recipes with ingredients and steps that you can follow, as well as both imperial and metric measurements. Don’t worry if you finish all levels since new ones get added every two weeks—although some become insanely difficult to clear. If you’re feeling bored, you can also try tackling the online leaderboard.

Make Chef Ramsay proud

Overall, Gordon Ramsay: Chef Blast is a nice match-3 title with unique level designs and cool real-life rewards. While the difficulty can sometimes feel unfair, the gameplay itself is quite fun—and getting the chance to see a renowned chef’s favorite chefs is a great incentive to play. The events in the game are active, as well, and you don’t need to be constantly connected to the internet to play.
