How The Cake Factory Works
Teams run a bakery
You and your team take over a fictional cake factory. Your goal is to produce as many high quality cakes as possible under time pressure while trying to reduce waste with customer satisfaction as a top priority.
Each round has a time limit
You plan, bake and deliver in short cycles. After each round, you reflect on what worked and what didn't, and implement a new plan.
You can upgrade your tools
Based on your performance, you can earn upgrades such as better recipes, equipment or extra time for the next round.
Roles and teamwork matter
Everyone takes on a role. You'll need to work on clear communication and quick decisions to keep production on track.
Facilitators run a debrief
After the game a facilitator connects the experience to real workplace challenges, focusing on communication, teamwork and strategy.
