BPMG Brings Cooking Adventure to Web3

The blockchain gaming industry continues to evolve as traditional mobile titles find new life through Web3 technology. In a significant move for the sector, BPMG, the developer behind the GemHUB blockchain gaming platform, has signed a joint intellectual property agreement with Grampus for the globally popular cooking simulation game Cooking Adventure.

With more than 33 million downloads worldwide, the casual mobile title now enters a new phase of development. BPMG plans to expand the franchise across Web3, HTML5 browsers, and Steam, marking a major step toward bridging traditional gaming with decentralized ecosystems.

This development highlights how established games are increasingly becoming part of the broader blockchain games ecosystem, bringing existing audiences into the world of Web3 gaming.

A Strategic Partnership Between BPMG and Grampus

The newly signed agreement gives BPMG joint ownership of the global Cooking Adventure IP alongside its original developer, Grampus. Under the terms of the partnership, BPMG will assume responsibility for several key aspects of the game’s future:

• Game development

• Live service operations

• Global publishing and business expansion

Meanwhile, Grampus will remain a co-owner of the intellectual property and serve as a strategic partner moving forward.

This structure ensures that the title retains its original creative DNA while benefiting from BPMG’s Web3 infrastructure and global expansion plans.

For BPMG, acquiring joint control of an already successful gaming IP represents a strategic shortcut compared to launching an entirely new title from scratch. It provides an established player base and a proven gameplay model ready to evolve within the Web3 landscape.

What Makes Cooking Adventure So Popular

First released in 2016, Cooking Adventure has built a strong reputation as a highly engaging casual restaurant management game. Players take on the role of a chef managing multiple restaurants, preparing dishes from cuisines around the world while keeping customers satisfied.

Gameplay revolves around several core mechanics:

• Cooking and preparing dishes quickly

• Upgrading kitchen equipment

• Managing customer flow

• Expanding a growing restaurant empire

These simple yet addictive systems helped the game achieve over 33 million downloads globally.

In South Korea, the title is also known as My Little Chef, where it gained a particularly strong following among mobile players.

What makes the game notable is its longevity. After nearly eight years of continuous updates, Cooking Adventure still maintains an active community — a rare achievement in the highly competitive mobile gaming market.

A Web3 Version Built on the GemHUB Ecosystem

One of the most exciting developments following the partnership is the planned Web3 version of Cooking Adventure.

This blockchain-enabled version will run on GemHUB, BPMG’s dedicated Web3 gaming infrastructure. The game will integrate the ecosystem’s native GHUB utility token, allowing players to participate in a tokenized economy tied to gameplay activities.

While exact gameplay mechanics for the Web3 build have not yet been revealed, BPMG has indicated that the integration will follow a model similar to its other onchain titles.

Potential Web3 features may include:

• Tokenized rewards for gameplay achievements

• Competitive leagues with blockchain-based payouts

• Mission-based earning systems

• Onchain tracking of player progression

These mechanics aim to transform traditional gameplay loops into player-driven economies, a growing trend across modern blockchain games.

Browser and Steam Versions Expand Accessibility

Beyond Web3 integration, BPMG is also developing two additional versions of the game.

HTML5 Browser Release

A browser-based HTML5 version will allow players to access Cooking Adventure directly through a web browser without needing to install the game. This approach significantly lowers the barrier to entry for casual players.

BPMG has already tested this strategy with Dragon Flight Classic, which launched successfully on:

• SK Planet’s OK Cashback platform

• Viva Republica’s Toss ecosystem

These browser integrations helped the game reach new audiences who prefer quick, accessible gaming experiences.

Steam Expansion

The third development track is a Steam release, which will introduce Cooking Adventure to the global PC gaming market.

While the game has historically been a mobile-first title, bringing it to Steam opens the door to millions of PC players and expands its potential community significantly.

The Original Development Team Joins BPMG

To ensure continuity and preserve the game’s identity, the full Cooking Adventure development and operations team will transition to BPMG.

This decision serves two important purposes:

1. Maintaining the gameplay experience that existing players already enjoy

2. Ensuring consistent updates and improved live service quality

Live-service games rely heavily on consistent updates, seasonal content, and ongoing support. Retaining the original team dramatically reduces the risks often associated with ownership transitions.

It also means that long-time players can expect the same creative direction that helped the game thrive for nearly a decade.

Inside the Growing GemHUB Blockchain Gaming Platform

Cooking Adventure will soon join the expanding GemHUB ecosystem, BPMG’s flagship blockchain gaming and social platform.

Founded in August 2021, BPMG has steadily built a network of partnerships across the Web3 industry while securing KRW 7 billion in Series A funding.

One of GemHUB’s standout features is its social platform Poplus, which introduces a tokenized reward system powered by GHUB tokens.

The system records user interactions on the blockchain, enabling:

• Transparent tracking of engagement

• Tokenized participation rewards

• Onchain community activity

GemHUB has already integrated its token economy into several existing titles, including:

• Fortress

• Dragon Flight

• Rappelz M

Each game contributes to a broader interconnected ecosystem where gameplay, rewards, and social engagement exist onchain.

Global Expansion and Strategic Web3 Partnerships

BPMG is not limiting its ambitions to one region.

The company is currently preparing a Japanese market expansion in partnership with Gala Lab, targeting entry in the second half of 2025.

At the infrastructure level, BPMG has also partnered with several major Web3 technology providers, including:

• Soneium, the Layer 2 blockchain backed by Sony Group

• LINE NEXT’s Mini Dapp Portal

• XPLA, a Tendermint-based Layer 1 blockchain network

These collaborations provide the technical backbone necessary to scale GemHUB’s ecosystem globally.

Why Cooking Adventure Is a Smart Web3 Addition

Bringing Cooking Adventure into the Web3 space gives BPMG a major advantage compared to launching a completely new blockchain game.

Many onchain titles struggle with player acquisition and retention because they lack an existing audience. Cooking Adventure solves that problem immediately.

Key advantages include:

• A global player base of 33+ million users

• Nearly a decade of live-service experience

• A proven casual gameplay formula

• Strong recognition across international markets

These factors make it an ideal candidate for Web3 integration.

By combining an established casual IP with blockchain-based rewards and ownership systems, BPMG is positioning GemHUB to attract both traditional gamers and Web3-native players.

If the transition succeeds, Cooking Adventure could become one of the clearest examples yet of how established mobile games can evolve into the next generation of blockchain gaming ecosystems.
