Characters

 * Frankie (not seen)
 * Slick Sid (not seen)
 * Mechanical chef

Description
A sentence with a blank appears at the top of the screen, and the player must control the chef to splat the guest with the correct noun, verb, or adjective that fits in the blank, but the player needs to be quick, because each guest will disappear if left alone for too long. A plate will appear on the shelf on right for every correct answer. The required part of speech stays the same for every 5 rounds; if 5 plates appear on the shelf, it changes, but not before the machine gives the player a ticket.

Digital manual description
It's a "missing word" food fight! Help the wacky chef splatter his dinner guests with cake batter in this messy dining room. The guests are hiding, but be patient! They'll pop up!


 * Each guest holds a word. When you see the word that correctly completes the displayed sentence, point to the guest and click. (You'll be looking for nouns, adjectives, or verbs.)
 * For each correct word you select, a plate will appear on the shelf.
 * When you correctly complete five sentences, you'll win one ticket!

SKILLS: nouns, adjectives, verbs

EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS: building sentences, word recognition

Trivia

 * After the player gets 5 correct answers, one of the following will happen:
 * The chef will attempt to splat a cowering guest, but since the batter is shaped like a boomerang, it comes back and splats the chef instead, much to the guest's relief. The chef then uses his tongue as a windshield wiper to lick the batter off his face.
 * A boy pops out of a suit of armor and tries to splat a dog on the table, but an old lady pops up
