About the Game

Grandma, the best baker in town, has decided to retire and pass on her book of recipes, which she has carefully selected and perfected over the years.

Interested?

Well, it looks like you’re not the only one, as the family and friends are all secretly hoping the book will be theirs!

But Grandma has a test for you! She has sent out letters containing recipes to everybody. But wait – it looks like the letters only contain parts of the recipes! Can you get the missing information from your family and friends by trading in some of your information, and bake Grandma’s famous dessert?

Prepare for a series of deciphering clues and sealing pacts, to see who will impress Grandma the most and become a worthy successor to her recipe book!

In Secret Recipe, each player receives one or two pieces of the recipe with 4 hidden ingredients that only they know. The goal of the game is to impress grandma and score Grandma’s points (GPs). You can do that by discovering other people’s ingredients, which moves you forward on the score track.

You also gain points and other bonuses for communicating your ingredients so that other people discover them. This marks the progress you are making in baking your part of the recipe and brings you point tokens. These points are revealed at the end of the game. The player with the most GPs wins!
