Food World Cup - Tournament Game
The food that survives the 16-team tournament becomes your true menu of the day!
What is Food World Cup?
Food World Cup is a game that pits 16 popular foods against each other in tournament style to determine the ultimate winner. Each round, you choose which of two foods appeals to you more, and the winner advances to the next round. Through Round of 16 → Quarterfinals → Semifinals → Finals, your champion food is decided.
Unlike random selection, this method reflects your preferences at every moment, resulting in higher satisfaction with the result. You'll have that "Aha! This is what I really wanted to eat today!" moment.
Tournament Structure

Why Tournament Style?
