Cupcake Academy Cooperative Board Game

About this product

A fast, sweet, team-based logic game where everyone has to move quickly together.

A bright cooperative game that builds focus, logic, speed, and teamwork around the table.

Work together as pastry chefs to arrange cupcake cups before the timer runs out.

Product Description

In Cupcake Academy, players work together as a team of pastry chefs trying to earn their place at the academy.

Each assignment card shows a specific cupcake cup layout. Players must quickly move their cups between their own plates and the shared plate, one cup at a time, while communicating with the team. The challenge is simple to understand, but wonderfully busy once the timer starts ticking.

Complete all the assignments within seven minutes to win together. Miss the deadline, and the team can try again for a sweeter result next round.
