Design Week 4 - Games for Mum

This is kind of hard to do because the kind of games my mum would like already exist =.= she also does a lot of things during the day so the game shouldn't be too hard to think about or lengthy.
Some of the things she likes are:
- Cooking
- Reading
- TV
- Brain puzzles
- Light procrastination games

So maybe a game that involves finding the missing ingredients in a recipe? Kind of like how Master Chef has a segment where there's a recipe that isn't perfect and you have to make it better - there could be a picture of how a dish is supposed to look like, and the current dish, and it could be in a restaurant setting. The customers could have a mood meter displaying how much they like the dish and you could add ingredients in the kitchen segment, making it how it's supposed to look or better.

So the player would have more freedom in how to play the game - they could put in random ingredients and see how it goes, or see if they can make a totally different dish and find out whether it'll be just as popular as the real thing. Knowing my mum, though, she'd want to do it properly, but with different stages it could be a good game that involves cooking and a bit of problem solving while still being a game she plays on the side.
