About this game
Bugs in the Kitchen hands you a genuinely unpredictable robot bug and a maze of kitchen utensils to steer it with, no programming required, just clever gate-turning. The little HEXBUG buzzes and skitters across the board on its own, and everyone races to flip forks, knives and spoons at the right moment to nudge it toward their own trap instead of a rival's. Since the bug never moves the same way twice, no amount of planning fully guarantees success, which keeps even repeat rounds fresh and funny. First to trap five wins, but honestly, half the fun is just watching the thing scurry around like it has a mind of its own.
