What is Plateoff?
Updated 14 November 2026.
Plateoff is a weekly home-cooking league for friends. You check in each meal you cook with a photo. Other cooks judge your dishes blind, in pairs, without seeing your name. Your best three dishes of the week count, and your pack of friends climbs from Bronze to Diamond together. It is a free web app at live.plateoff.app.
Plateoff is one word, at plateoff.app. It is a game about cooking more at home, not an app for choosing a recipe, planning meals or counting calories.
How a week works
- Cook and check in. Take a photo of what you cooked and give it a title. The dish is worth 100 points the moment you save it.
- Use the ingredient of the day. Everyone gets the same ingredient each day. Cook with it and the dish earns 50 more.
- Judge five pairs, blind. You see two dishes, no names, and one question: "Which would you most like to try?"
- Collect votes. Each dish is judged by up to ten other cooks. Every time a judge picks it, it earns 10 points, up to 100.
- The reveal. The week runs from Sunday to Saturday. At Saturday midnight it closes, and you see your week's points and your pack's new rank.
What makes it different
- Blind judging. Judges never see who cooked a dish, so followers and friends cannot tip the vote.
- Showing up counts. Every meal you check in earns points, so cooking often matters as much as cooking well.
- Friends play as a pack. A pack's points are its cooks' points added up. Packs are ranked every week, worldwide and in their country.
- Weekly streaks. A streak counts the weeks in a row in which you cooked at least once.
What you will not find
- Calorie or weight counting.
- Points for sale. Nothing you can buy changes a score.
- An AI judge. Every vote comes from another cook.

Questions
Is Plateoff free?
Yes. You can cook, check in, judge and play in packs for free.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Plateoff runs in the browser at live.plateoff.app. On a phone you can add it to your home screen, and it then opens like an app.
Who judges my food?
Other Plateoff cooks. They see your photo and title next to another dish, never your name, and pick the one they would most like to try.
Do I have to cook every day?
No. Only your three best dishes of the week count, so three meals a week is enough to play fully. Skipping a day costs nothing.
Is Plateoff the same as Cooks League?
Yes. Cooks League was the name until November 2026. The game is the same.
You are cooking tonight anyway.
