Burger Bois is a love letter to food and hospitality, with nods to many of our favorite media. We wanted to combine the food service of Good Pizza, Great Pizza, with the creative challenge of Sticky Business, and the quirky, comedic characters of 90s cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants and Ed, Edd & Eddy.
Alex (a foodie) first cooked up the idea for Burger Bois in 2019 whilst reflecting on his sister Jess’ disdain for cooking. Their mutual fascination with the annual Burger Wellington event combined with a love of cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants and Bob’s Burgers prompted the thought:
What if we could make a game that entertains cooking-unbelievers into becoming cooking-converts through the power of pop culture food & creativity?
Pre-production on the game commenced in late 2021 during COVID-19 Lockdown as a ‘side-hustle’ until funding was secured for a prototype.
In March 2024, Burger Bois was awarded a New Zealand Centre of Digital Excellence (CODE) KickStart grant, which has funded the development of the core game loop. In October 2025, Burger Bois was awarded a CODE StartUp grant, which will see development through to completion of the game.
The team are now working towards feature complete, adding content, and building a following for the game as they seek publishing services support (especially localization & marketing) for its release in 2027.
Founded by siblings Jess and Alex Woodward, Mischief Makers Studio’s mission is to make non-violent games that inspire creativity, conversation and laughter. As a business, we want to nurture those same 3 pillars in our team, so that our creativity, conversation and laughter are felt by our players authentically.
