Our take on BBQ Simulator: The Squad
Rather than treating a barbecue as a controlled cooking task, the game turns it into a group-chaos sandbox. Food can fly, insects steal meat, weather changes interrupt preparation, and garden diversions sit alongside cooking. The expected calm outdoor meal becomes a cooperative hazard-management activity.
What is BBQ Simulator: The Squad?
BBQ Simulator: The Squad is a sandbox cooking game about preparing and serving food during chaotic outdoor gatherings.
Players build grills, cook steaks, divide responsibilities, and feed everyone before hunger becomes a problem. Solo play and cooperative multiplayer for up to 8 friends are available. The barbecue can be disrupted by changing weather, flies that steal meat, and other unexpected events. Players can customize avatars, use tools such as blowtorches and fire extinguishers, and choose between traditional grilling and microwave cooking. Garden activities, including soccer and mowing, provide alternatives to cooking. Explosions and other mishaps add further hazards while the group works to keep the grill running and the guests fed.
