Daily Food Games on Mosey: Ladle, Origin, Ingredient

The daily food games on Mosey are three quick puzzles in the app: Ladle, where you guess a dish in six tries, Origin, where you pin five foods on a world map, and Ingredient, where you answer seven questions about one dish. A new set arrives every day at midnight, and each takes a few minutes.

What are the daily food games on Mosey?

Mosey has three games, and each is a short puzzle about food you could actually eat. Every one has a new puzzle each day, and the day turns over at your own local midnight, so the next set is waiting when you wake up.

You do not have to rate a place or follow anyone to play. The games are for people aged eighteen and over, there are no prizes, and nothing in them asks you to spend money. They are a few minutes of puzzle, and a good way to learn where dishes come from and what is in them.

How to play Ladle: guess the dish in six tries

Ladle asks you to guess today's dish in six tries. You start with any dish you like, as long as it is one the game knows, so a typo never costs you a guess. Each guess comes back as a row of seven tiles that compare it with the answer: cuisine, origin, main ingredient, course, vegetarian, allergens and spice.

A pale tile is a match. A copper tile is close: the same part of the world, a spice level one step away, or at least one allergen in common. A dark tile is no match. An arrow points towards the answer, and every tile carries a symbol too, so color is never the only clue.

Stuck? After three wrong guesses the game tells you the region, and after four it gives you a one-line clue. Browse dishes lists every dish by cuisine. Hard mode makes you keep the clues you have matched, and it turns the clues off. You can only change it before your first guess.

How does the Origin food map game work?

Origin gives you five foods a day. For each one you drop a pin on a world map where you think it comes from, or you type a country or region if you would rather not use the map. The closer the pin, the more points, up to one thousand for each food. A pin inside the right region scores the full thousand, so a day is worth up to five thousand points.

Distances show in miles by default in the United States, and you can switch to kilometers in settings. Some foods have more than one credible origin. When people disagree, Origin says so and shows you every claim with its source, instead of pretending there is a single answer.

What is the Ingredient ladder game?

Ingredient gives you one dish and seven questions about it, from easy to hard, each with four options. You answer all seven. A right answer scores one thousand points and a wrong one scores nothing, but the game shows you the right answer and you move on. Your result is out of seven thousand.

The last question is always about allergens: which allergen does this dish contain? It is a small reminder that what is in a dish matters. On a real menu, allergen and dietary information always comes from the place, so check with them before you eat.

How do the food game streak and weekly league work?

Your streak counts the days in a row on which you finish at least one of the games, win or lose. Sign in to keep it. A streak freeze, earned each week, covers a missed day, so one slip does not end a long run. After three days in a row the app asks whether you would like a reminder, once a day and only on days you have not played yet.

The weekly league runs Monday to Sunday and includes only people you follow who also follow you back. There is no public leaderboard. A Stats screen shows how many games you have played and your win rate, so you can watch the habit build week by week.

How do the games connect to rating and lists?

The games teach you dishes, and the rest of the app lets you act on them. Rate what you eat by the dish, add tags, and keep a list of places you want to try, which you can build with friends. A dish you meet in Ladle can end up on your own list. The daily food games page sums up the three puzzles in one place.

The same app has debates to vote on, like New York or Chicago pizza, and food badges that climb as you rate more kinds of place, as in the first food badge guide. Browse the rest of the US food guides when you want somewhere to eat.

Get the Mosey app, play today's three puzzles and rate what you eat by the dish, so the games and your own list start to feed each other.
