Campfire Cooking is a puzzle game developed by Layton Hawkes, released in 2017 for PC, Mac, and iOS. Set against a backdrop of outdoor wilderness, it follows a family's camping vacation across a series of hiking trails, from forested lowlands to snow-covered peaks. The central mechanic involves positioning skewers, adjusting fondue pots, manipulating magnets, and operating camping stoves to cook every item of food to the correct level of doneness over an open fire. Each campsite presents a distinct puzzle scenario, and completing all the sites on one trail unlocks the next, bringing new environments, different foods, and varied tools. Between puzzles, the traveling characters share stories and jokes around the fire, lending the game a low-key narrative thread. While the setting and tone are leisurely and nature-focused, the puzzles themselves grow considerably more demanding as the journey progresses.
