About the game

[kosmopoli:t] is a real-time cooperative party game for 4-8 players that simulates a hectic six-minute dinner service in an ultra-cosmopolitan restaurant. One player takes the Waitress role and uses an app to receive orders from customers speaking dozens of different languages, relaying them to a Maitre d'Hotel who coordinates the kitchen. Cooks specialize in continents' worth of dishes, matching languages and ingredients to fulfill each order before time runs out. The game scales in complexity as you unlock new levels, ingredients, and languages, with a hundred goals to chase across many plays. It's a chaotic, communication-heavy party game that thrives on quick thinking and teamwork under pressure.

Hobbli's Notes

[kosmopoli:t] is delightfully frantic; the international-language gimmick forces real communication scrambling that we don't see in most party games. The app-driven structure and unlockable levels give it surprising longevity for what looks like a quick party filler. It absolutely requires everyone to lean into the chaos and talk fast, so quieter groups may find it overwhelming rather than fun.

What we like

  • Real-time communication chaos creates a uniquely energetic party experience.
  • App integration and unlockable levels add long-term progression.
  • Distinct player roles keep everyone actively engaged.
  • Strong replay value with a hundred goals to pursue.

Keep in mind

  • Requires a companion app, which some groups may find limiting.
  • Very high-energy, real-time play isn't for quieter groups.
  • Needs a full table of at least four to work well.

Who it's for

Great for large, extroverted party groups ages 10+ who enjoy real-time cooperative chaos; needs 4-8 players.
