A fast time-management cooking game with 450M+ players, 40-plus restaurants, and hundreds of dishes to serve. The mod build runs the same kitchens with the coin and gem economy already unlocked.
What is Cooking Fever
Cooking Fever is a time-management cooking game from Nordcurrent, the Lithuanian studio that first released it back in 2014. The loop is quick and readable: customers walk in, place orders, and you cook and serve before their patience meter empties. Each restaurant has its own ingredients and appliances, so a hot dog stand plays nothing like a sushi bar or a bakery.
The game spans more than 40 unique restaurants, over 1,000 levels, and several hundred dishes built from a deep ingredient list. You earn coins for fast, accurate service, then spend them on appliance upgrades, interior decor, and faster kitchen tools. Gems are the premium currency, used for the most powerful upgrades and to skip the slower waits. None of the core campaign needs Wi-Fi, which is part of why it travels well to commutes and flights.
The free version is supported by ads and an in-app shop where coin and gem bundles run from a couple of dollars to around thirty. Progression without spending is slow once you reach the mid-game restaurants. That grind is the gap mod authors target when they unlock the currency tiers, and it is why searches for the modded build stay heavy on apkpure and happymod.

What this mod offers
The community build of Cooking Fever 26.2.6 unlocks the coin and gem economy that paces the official game. The restaurants, recipes, customer logic, and 3D art are the same as the Play Store release. Here is what the modded build changes, kept honest.
- Unlimited coins.
The coin balance reads high from launch, so appliance upgrades, decor, and faster tools open without grinding levels or watching ads.
- Unlimited gems.
The premium currency is uncapped, which means the strongest upgrades and the wait-skips that gems normally gate are all reachable from day one.
- All restaurants accessible.
The venues that the free game locks behind level or currency requirements open early, so you can sample sushi bars and dessert shops without a long climb.
- Full upgrade trees unlocked.
Every appliance and interior upgrade slot is purchasable, including the late-game tiers the free version paces behind gem walls.
- No forced ad pacing.
The interstitial ads between levels are removed, which keeps the cooking loop in the foreground without interruptions.
- Casino and bonus spins available.
The in-game casino and daily-spin rewards open up, useful for stacking currency during evaluation without the usual gates.
