About the game
Puzzle Hungry: Umami Rush! is a fast-paced jigsaw-meets-board game where players scramble to complete bite-sized puzzles while racing against their friends. Each player assembles double-sided food puzzles, competing to serve dishes before the kitchen fills with chaos. Special tokens — like Wasabi (extra heat!) and Flies (a messy setback) — add spicy twists to every round. The ringing service bell signals when orders are up, keeping the table in constant motion. With 19 unique puzzles, layered “Server Duty” catch-up mechanics, and wild interactive elements, Puzzle Hungry offer multiple challenges and brings an entirely new flavor to game night. —description from the publisher
