Cooking Craze is the runner-up because it lists the most levels of any game here, over 4000 across six continents, and plays offline after the first download. You bake wood-fired pizza in Rome, grill burgers in New York and cook French dishes in Paris, adding a new recipe from each city you visit. Each level has 3 difficulty levels, and mastering them earns golden comment cards that pay out coins and spoons. Over 100 ingredients, kitchen upgrades and boosts such as non-stick pans keep later stages manageable. It runs on iOS 13.0 or later, so it supports older iPhones than Cooking Madness. US players rate it 4.7 out of 5 across 257K ratings. The App Store notes that it contains advertising, and the 13+ age rating and 515.6 MB download are worth noting for families. Listed purchases start at $0.99 for 50 spoons.
