RecipeForge

A fold-a-recipe toy for ages 6–8: a string of coloured beads folds into a shape. Change a bead and predict — will the shape change, or is it just filler? Only the ends and the hinge matter. Save your recipe as a code. On-device.

Built for sittings of about 15 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.

Distributed-narrative cast

Meet the cast

RecipeForge's little friends string beads with Beadle, who folds each recipe into a shape and asks — which beads really matter? Most are just filler; only the ends and the hinge decide the fold.

B

Beadle

(Guide) folds each bead-recipe into a shape and asks which beads matter (sequence decides structure)

H

Hushly

Loves the filler beads — change one and nothing happens; the shape stays the same (most parts are silent)

S

Snap

Watches the key beads — the ends and the hinge — that change or break the whole shape (a few parts carry the fold)

K

Keeper

Saves every recipe as a little code to share and load back (a recipe is a file you can keep)
