Merge Cooking Launches Bikini Bottom Food Carnival

Published by Happibits, the Merge Cooking × SpongeBob SquarePants: MC Food Carnival invites users to participate in a series of weekly events. Players will navigate tasks alongside characters like Patrick, Squidward, and Plankton, with activities ranging from SpongeBob’s Food Tour to specialized Patty Craft Mastery challenges. The developer has confirmed that the most popular event will see a limited-time return on September 21.

Beyond individual challenges, the collaboration introduces the MC Culinary Journey, a card collection event starting August 24. Players gather cards depicting bite-sized stories involving SpongeBob and the game’s original character, Lea, to earn exclusive rewards. For those focused on customization, the Bikini Bottom Bash event runs from August 27 to September 17, allowing players to decorate their own in-game spaces with iconic restaurants and locations pulled directly from the animated series. This update is currently rolling out to select regions, with further availability planned for the coming weeks.
