Moving Out
Carry furniture out of flats as a pair, as fast as possible and with as little regard for the windows as you can manage.
What it is about
You are freshly certified furniture relocation technicians in a small town in the eighties. The job is the same every time: everything marked has to go in the lorry. How is up to you.
Because the physics means it and the doorways do not, every sofa becomes a small negotiation. You can also throw things out of the window — it saves time and nothing anywhere punishes it.
The clock runs, but it only decides the stars at the end. If you dislike it, switch it off in the assist settings; the same menu lets you change the weight of the furniture and the size of the grab areas.
Our verdict for couples
It is Overcooked, except that failing costs you nothing. The clock keeps running and you will keep charging around the living room; when it runs out, though, you lose a star and not the evening. Anyone who has ever despaired at the same kitchen as a pair knows what a difference that makes. The price: after a few evenings you have seen it all, and because there is no online mode, the second person really does have to be on the sofa.

What other co-op fans say
The community is small but strikingly consistent: nearly every review names in one sentence the people it was played with — family, children, friends — and in the next the chaos that followed. What gets praised is the assist settings and the friendly tone. Two objections stand against that: it repeats itself quickly, and anybody wanting to play online is out of luck. For a couple on one sofa this is the right size; for two households only Remote Play is left.
- “A bright, colourful, funny couch co-op furniture moving game that'll be sure to bring a lot of laughs to your household.”
- “Lots of anarchy on this one and I wouldn't have it any other way.”
- “It becomes repetitive fast”
