The culinary arts have taken over T.V. They’ve become one of the latests fads for video game consoles. And now, you can even “cook” from your mobile phones. LimeLife and Bravo are launching their new mobile game ‘Top Chef Challenge,’ which is available to download on most major U.S. carries for $6.99. And if you find you can’t tear yourself away from the new game based on the hit reality series, you can also subscribe for a monthly fee of $2.99.
Bravo partnered with LimeLife to develop the TV network’s first downloadable mobile game because of LimeLife’s history of creating successful mobile experiences for big brand media and innovations in the mobile industry. “Top Chef Challenge” further solidifies Bravo’s leading presence among progressive broadcast media companies, by combining its popular series such as “Project Runway,” “Shear Genius,” and “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style” with expanded digital tie-ins.
“Top Chef Challenge” is set behind-the-scenes of Tom Collichio’s fictional new restaurant. Players customize their character and enter the game’s virtual kitchen as an entry-level dishwasher. With commentary and advice from show host, Padma Lakshmi, players can rise from dishwasher to “Top Chef” and gain 5-star status and fame along the way. A series of mini-games and kitchen drama test reflexes, memory and patience to prove you have what it takes to be the next “Top Chef.” As an added bonus, the Trivia Challenge mini-game lets players demonstrate their culinary knowledge to earn extra points.
