Iftar Planner

Four evenings of Ramadan, four menus for the family meal at sunset, called iftar. Each dish has steps that take time, wait for each other and share your two hands, two stove burners and one oven. Move every step on the timeline so the hot dishes come out in the last 15 minutes before sunset and nothing is late.

How to play

Move the steps. Each step is a bar on the timeline that ends at sunset. Nudge it 5 minutes earlier or later with the arrows.
Respect the kitchen. Some steps wait for another, your hands do one thing at a time, the stove has 2 burners and the oven fits one dish.
Serve at sunset. Hot dishes must finish in the last 15 minutes. A plan that isn't ready costs one of 3 lives and shows what went wrong.
Score. 120 per evening, plus up to 80 for starting the kitchen as late as the best plan. A hint costs 20.

Quick tips

Plan backwards. Start from sunset and subtract: a 30-minute simmer that must end at 19:00 starts at 18:30, and its chopping has to be done before that.
Find the longest chain. The chain of steps that adds up to the most minutes sets your start time. Place it first, then fit the rest around it.
