What Fold Kitchen does
Fold, steam and serve dumplings from six cities. On iPhone Duo, fold your phone to fold the dumpling, and close it to close the steamer. $0.99, no ads, no in-app purchases, ever. You play Pip, a young red panda who inherits Nana Pinch's little dumpling cart and her recipe book, whose pages are blank. To fill the book, Pip travels to Tokyo, Shanghai, Kathmandu and Mumbai, Kraków, Rome and Mexico City, learns folded foods from local masters, and serves hungry animal customers. EVERY ORDER IS A HANDS-ON ROUTINE A WORLD TOUR OF FOLDED FOOD 24 recipes: gyoza, xiaolongbao, wonton, momo, modak, samosa, gujiya, pierogi, uszka, knedle, ravioli, tortellini, culurgiones, calzone, empanadas, quesadillas, tacos dorados, tamales and more. Every dish comes with a short note about where it comes from. 72 STORY DAYS, 6 FESTIVALS, 9 MASTERS Twelve days in each city, a Final Service to earn the city's Golden Fold stamp, and a festival day for each city. Customers arrive in waves, each with their own patience. Juggle orders, earn coins and tips, upgrade your cart, unlock outfits and decorations. 15 HAND TECHNIQUES Row pleats, ring pleats, twist tops, crimp traces, fork crimps, petal pinches, cone folds, sheet presses, husk folds, braids, repulgue and flips, each with a quality score and a satisfying squish. AFTER THE STORY Night Market, an endless mode with Game Center leaderboards. Daily Special, one recipe and ten orders the same for everyone, with a share line.

No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts.
Who it's for
Who Fold Kitchen is for, and how it works
Fold Kitchen is for anyone who likes a cozy cooking game with real craft in it: a few orders over coffee, a Daily Special on the train, or a long Night Market run on the couch.
It is also for families and for iPhone Duo owners who want one game that makes the fold itself the point.
Features
Built to be useful, not noisy.
Fold the phone to fold the dumpling
On iPhone Duo, folding the phone folds the wrapper and closing it closes the steamer lid. Folding is deliberate and limited, and touch controls are always there too.
24 recipes from six cities
Gyoza, xiaolongbao, momo, modak, pierogi, ravioli, tamales and more, learned from local masters in Tokyo, Shanghai, Kathmandu and Mumbai, Kraków, Rome and Mexico City, each with a short note on where it comes from.
15 hand techniques
Row pleats, ring pleats, twist tops, crimps, petal pinches, cone folds, husk folds, braids, repulgue and flips, each with a quality score and a satisfying squish.
72 story days and 6 festivals
Twelve days in each city, a Final Service for the city's Golden Fold stamp and a festival day. Customers arrive in waves; juggle orders, earn coins and tips, upgrade the cart.
Night Market and Daily Special
An endless mode and a daily recipe with ten orders that are the same for everyone, both with Game Center leaderboards, plus 30 achievements.
Works on every iPhone and iPad
Relaxed, Classic and Chef difficulties, full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, colorblind doneness patterns and reduce motion. No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts.
Why it exists
The problem
Cooking and restaurant games are a steady category, but almost all of them are free-to-play with timers, ads and in-app purchases, and none of them use the hardware itself as the cooking tool. Nothing on the store turns the iPhone Duo hinge into a fold.
What's different
How Fold Kitchen stands out
Fold Kitchen makes every order a hands-on routine (fill, fold, seal, cook, plate) with 15 real hand techniques and 24 recipes that each come with a note on where the dish comes from. On iPhone Duo the phone itself folds the dumpling and closes the steamer. One price, no ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts.
