From Virtual to Real Life: The Record Attempt

To commemorate a decade of fast-paced food preparation in Cooking Fever, Nordcurrent is bringing the game's essence to life. "We wanted to do something memorable for Cooking Fever's 10th anniversary," says Nordcurrent Group CEO, Victoria Trofimova. "Our players serve millions of burgers every day at full speed—we know everything about making food fast and satisfying customers. Breaking a burger speed assembling record felt like the perfect way to celebrate."

Victoria Trofimova, CEO of Nordcurrent Group, explained the inspiration behind the event:
"The idea to arrange a Guinness Record attempt came quite naturally. We wanted to do something memorable for Cooking Fever's 10th anniversary. Cooking Fever is about making good food fast and properly. Organizing a real-life burger assembling competition was one of the first ideas the team came up with. Then we found that the burger speed assembling record already exists at Guinness. Who better to beat that record than a company that produces a top time-management restaurant game? Our players serve millions of burgers every day at full speed—we know everything about how to make food fast, tasty, and keep customers happy."

Local Chefs Ready to Take On the Challenge
The event will take place in Vilnius, with skilled chefs from well-known local burger spots Drama Burger and Meat Busters stepping up to attempt the record. Confident in their abilities, the chefs are raring to go. Drama Burger's Karolis Čygas boasts, "Training? I was born ready. Like Caesar said: Veni, Vidi, Vici. I'm here to win." Meat Busters' Arvydas Kieras echoes the sentiment, stating, "Both in the game and in real life, you face similar emotions and challenges. I'm ready for this."
