Hong Kong Tea Café Chaos

“Lah Lah Lum Lah! Hurry up!” Christmas Eve in a 1970s Hong Kong tea café. Players cook vintage holiday dishes against the clock, survive the gangsters' shakedown, and relive how working-class Hong Kong once tasted Christmas. It won Best Winter/Holiday Themed Addition to a Newly Built World at the Meta Horizon Creator Competition: Mobile Innovation.

It began with real Hong Kong Christmas menus from the 1950s to the 1970s, resurfacing as viral posts in diaspora communities. People weren't only looking at them; they wanted to feel those evenings again. The game turns that nostalgia into something people take part in, one shift at a time.
