New
Tz'ikin Cafe is now a game
You can now run your own Tz'ikin Cafe on your phone. It is a cozy game about making good coffee for a flock of birds, and it is free on Google Play today.
iPhone: coming soon to the App Store
Serve a flock of regulars
In the game you open a small cafe on a branch high in the rainforest. Guests fly in, tell you what they want, and wait on the perch while you make it. Serve them well and word gets around.
What you do in the game
- Make every drink by hand. Grind, sweeten, froth and stir. Each step is a short game of its own, and the better you do, the more stars the drink earns.
- Grow what you pour. Plant coffee, cacao, corn and hibiscus in the garden, then harvest them for the cafe.
- Get to know the regulars. Fifteen birds keep coming back, and each one has a favorite drink and a story to tell.
- Build the cafe up. Add a cacao pot, a comal for atole and an agua fresca bar. Hire help, decorate, and follow the story from the first cup to the Spring Feast.
- Come back each week. There is a new weekly event and a Top Baristas board to climb.
Drinks you will recognize
The first drink you learn is the horchata latte, the same one we are known for at the cart. From there the menu grows into drinks from across El Salvador, Guatemala and the rest of Mesoamerica.
- Horchata latte
- Café de olla
- Xocolatl
- Champurrado
- Atole
- Pinole
- Tascalate
- Agua de jamaica
Free, with no ads
The game is free to download and has no ads. You do not need an account to play. There is an optional in-game currency called jade that you can buy if you want to speed things up, and you can finish the whole story without it.
