Want to tackle that mystery box or showcase your impeccable palate? Now families and home cooks can bring that their favorite food television show into the home kitchen with MasterChef Family Cooking Game.

A collaboration between MasterChef and Wilder Toys, the family-friendly board game puts all that culinary knowledge to the test. While the kids might be hoping for a little culinary adventure, parents might be thrilled to get the kids more excited about food. Family game night just got a more flavorful twist.

As Scott Shillet, Vice President, Licensing, Endemol Shine North America, said “In today’s digital world, it is refreshing to have a game that encourages families to put down their devices and pick up a spatula or whisk to work together towards a common (and delicious) goal. From the Ricotta Gnocchi to the Elegant Eclairs, I can confidently say that this is the best tasting board game you will ever play.”

The MasterChef Family Cooking Game is another example how the MasterChef juggernaut has jumped off the screen and into the immersive foodie world. An immersive MasterChef restaurant is in the works and MasterChef Live is returning to theaters.

Although this game might not come with a fiery quip or the pressure of cooking in front of a celebrated chef, it does prove that cooking is fun and entertaining. Even if there are mistakes along the way, the reality is that it gets the family interacting together. Those real conversations away from a screen are a game changer.

Even for families who might not want to cook along with the challenges, the game can make for fun dinner time conversation. Why not skip the recap of the day and push the conversation beyond the plate. It could make the next family dinner a little more adventurous. The beige and bland food does not make a colorful family gathering.
