The Cured Pig
Coming soon

Three little pigs.
One big smoker.

The wolf huffed. The wolf puffed. And the bacon came out perfect.

Tap the pig!
Trotters → BRAWN Shoulder → COPPA Loin → LONZA Belly → BACON Leg → PROSCIUTTO Jowl → GUANCIALE POP!

Three houses. Three cures.

Every pig has a plan. Straw is fast, sticks make smoke, and bricks are for the patient. Pick your house, pick your cure.

House of strawQuick cures

Bacon, gravlax-style bellies and salt-box hams. Fast, forgiving, a little bit flimsy. Perfect for your first pig.

Cure time7 days

House of sticksSmoked

The wolf provides the wind. You provide the wood chips. Smoky bacon, kassler and wolf-puffed sausages.

Cure time3 weeks

House of bricksSlow & air-dried

Prosciutto, coppa and lonza hang in the cellar while the wolf gives up and goes home. Patience is a flavour.

Cure time18 months

How it plays

A cosy cooking puzzler for anyone old enough to hold a wooden spoon.

Pop the pig

Every pig arrives as a butcher's chart. Tap the seams and it bursts into cuts, cartoon style. No mess, just parts.

Salt, spice, wrap

Match cuts to cures. Belly wants bacon. Jowl wants guanciale. Get the salt right or the pig gets cheeky.

Hang & wait

Cures take real time, sped up to fit your lunch break. Build a better house to keep the wolf, and the flies, out.

Serve the village

Slice, plate, and feed the whole fairytale. Yes, the wolf too. He's a changed wolf now. He runs the smokehouse.

Pick your game

Two ways to play, one pig. Take it slow in the kitchen, or grab a slingshot and hold the wall.

Cosy puzzle

Cure & ServeSalt it. Hang it. Wait.

The gentle one. Pop pigs into cuts, match each cut to its cure, and run the finest cellar in the fairytale. No timers shouting at you, just a wolf occasionally sniffing at the door.

The loud one. Ham of the free, home of the brined. The wolf brought friends and they're marching up the lane in waves of huff and puff. General Abraham Linkin' needs towers on the walls, and Pork Revere is already shouting.

The bits between cures. Remember the spice rub jar by jar, brush the bad mould off the hanging hams without touching the good, and stack a house from straw to bricks while the wolf huffs at it.

Cure & Serve

Three days.
One cellar.

Pop pigs into cuts. Read what the village wants. Salt box for quick cures, smoker for smoky ones, cellar for the patient. Anything spare goes in the grinder.

Drag a cut to a station, or tap the cut and then tap where it goes. Tap a finished cure to serve whoever wants it.

Prototype. Real cures take longer than thirteen seconds. Slightly.
