The metaverse version of Gordon Ramsay’s reality show Hell’s Kitchen, originally launched in The Sandbox in 2022, has introduced two new gaming experiences: “Fork Off” and “The Chef’s Table.”
The first game, Fork Off, is an arcade-style experience. Players navigate the game board, collecting ingredients while dodging various obstacles. The gameplay is fast-paced and designed to challenge players’ reflexes and decision-making skills. As they progress, players can power up their avatars to increase speed and collect more coins for extra points.
The Chef’s Table, the second new experience, offers a more interactive, storytelling approach. Players step into Gordon Ramsay’s iconic kitchen, where they take part in culinary challenges and creative tests. They can explore the kitchen, interact with team members, and engage in quests like solving puzzles or finding hidden ingredients.
These new additions are part of The Sandbox’s Alpha Season 4, which offers over 100 unique experiences and 50 hours of gameplay. Players participating in these events can complete quests and earn rewards, with a total prize pool of over $2.5 million in SAND tokens.
Since their launch in early October — Fork Off on October 9 and The Chef’s Table on October 11 — both experiences have gained popularity. Fork Off has attracted over 34,000 plays, while The Chef’s Table has seen more than 45,000 plays.
Hell’s Kitchen entered the metaverse in August 2022, when The Sandbox partnered with ITV Studios to introduce the cooking-themed game. It was the first cooking-related experience to be featured on the platform, allowing fans of the show to engage in a virtual version of the competition.
Hell’s Kitchen debuted as a reality cooking show in 2005, hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. The show features young chefs competing in various kitchen challenges to win the competition. The metaverse version adds a new layer of interactivity to the franchise, blending gaming with the culinary world.
Hell’s Kitchen is not the only reality show to make its way into the metaverse. Earlier in May, The Voice also expanded into The Sandbox, introducing “The Voice Coach Battle.” This gamified experience lets players act as celebrity coaches, influence the competition’s outcome, and earn exclusive rewards.
