Eighteen Folds

Eighteen Folds is an interactive dumpling folding and restaurant management game where precision, timing, and careful preparation are the keys to completing each shift. Practice folding xiaolongbao and gyoza, organize customer orders, manage bamboo steamers, and improve your results through a series of kitchen challenges. The game combines hands-on folding mechanics, timed restaurant tasks, chef evaluations, and progression through different kitchen locations. Each session introduces new objectives that require attention to detail and efficient order management. MASTER THE ART OF DUMPLING FOLDING Learn to create traditional dumpling shapes using simple touch controls. Start with a round wrapper and a portion of filling in the center. Drag from the outer edge toward the filling to create individual pleats. Each movement adds another fold to the wrapper. Continue rotating around the filling until the dumpling reaches the required number of pleats. For xiaolongbao, the goal is to complete exactly eighteen folds while maintaining an even pattern. PRACTICE YOUR FOLDING TECHNIQUE Use the dedicated practice area to improve your accuracy without the pressure of incoming restaurant orders. Follow visual references that indicate where individual pleats should be positioned. The practice board highlights the expected arrangement of eighteen folds, making it easier to compare your result with the target pattern. Complete a wrapper to receive an evaluation and a performance score. Repeat the exercise to improve consistency and achieve higher results. MANAGE RESTAURANT ORDERS Step behind the counter and prepare dumplings for waiting customers. Each restaurant shift includes tickets showing the requested dish, quantity, and table number. Work through the available orders while keeping track of the remaining time. The order display helps you identify which dumplings need to be prepared and how many portions are still required. Complete the requested items and keep the kitchen moving during busy service periods. USE THE BAMBOO STEAMERS Organize prepared dumplings using the available steaming baskets. The kitchen interface displays steamer positions, preparation progress, and the current status of each basket. Move completed portions through the preparation process while managing the next customer ticket. Careful timing and organization help you handle several orders during a single shift. EARN CHEF EVALUATIONS Your folding technique is assessed through the game's scoring system. Complete dumplings with accurate pleats to achieve stronger evaluations. Different chefs provide feedback on your results, encouraging you to improve the shape and consistency of each wrapper. The goal is to combine careful preparation with efficient service. REVIEW SHIFT RESULTS At the end of a restaurant shift, receive a detailed performance summary. Review your folding score, completed dumplings, served tables, and collected in-game tips. The results screen also displays individual order evaluations and highlights the overall outcome of the shift. Use this information to identify areas for improvement before beginning another session. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Monitor your best score, daily activity streak, and accumulated in-game tip total. The main counter screen brings together your current kitchen, folding progress, and available activities. Access dedicated sections for chefs, kitchens, and recorded results through the navigation menu.
