New Mini Game: Let's Connect Udon!

With this latest addition, Gokko Land now boasts three interactive mini-games centered around udon. Previously, the app already featured two games: 'Let's Make Udon!' and 'Let's Eat Udon!', which have been popular among kids since their debut on June 30, 2023.

In this engaging mini-game, kids transform into udon artisans, taking them through the process of noodle making. Players engage in various tasks, such as kneading, stretching, cutting, boiling, and freezing noodles while learning the importance and delightful taste of frozen udon. This setup promotes not only a play experience but also an educational context surrounding food preparation.

The addition of 'Let's Connect Udon!' is a step towards enriching children's experiences in the kitchen and at the dining table. Here, the hope is to foster an interest in food, prompting curious questions like, “What udon will I try next?” or “Can I cook with my parents?” Ultimately, this game supports family bonding experiences over cooking and shared meals.

Through such interactive play, TableMark aims to pass on meaningful lessons about food enjoyment and its significance to children. Their motto, “Making meals joyful, making tables fun,” truly emphasizes their commitment to enhancing family dining experiences.
