Stack a Snack

2023

Stack a Snack is a multimedia game where players can make bizarre and whimsical cakes by mixing unexpected ingredients. What happens when you mix green grass, red lava, grey concrete, and brown worms together?

Each cake generated in Stack a Snack is unique to the ingredients chosen. Players get to take home their digital cake creations by scanning the QR code at the end of the game.

Created in collaboration with the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) and Daniel Emma for their Up, Down and All Around: Daniel Emma for Kids exhibition in the Children’s Gallery from 2 June 2023 – 8 October 2023. Over 57,000 cakes were made during the course of the exhibition.
