SLURPMASTER STORY · 01

Who is sitting
in front of your chopsticks today?

The guest changes every round. The Baby waits patiently, the Mukbang Star is dizzyingly fast, and the Bearded Man keeps snagging noodles in his beard. The same bowl of udon becomes a completely different round depending on who is eating it.

This post is about the SlurpMaster guests, all 22 of them. What makes each one different, who is easy, who is hard, and who pays the most points, all taken from the numbers in the game’s code and from real game screens.

The intro between levels introduces today’s guest (here the Chef) and the noodle dish (Udon)

When a round starts, the guest’s name pops up in big letters, and the same guest eats for the whole round. The guest from the round before never comes back right away. Right now all 22 guests appear from level 1. Four things differ from guest to guest.

There is one rule: no guest is simply “better”. Easy guests give fewer points, and the guests who give the most points are hard.

Guest	In-game profile	Speed	Score
Baby	The slowest, most forgiving guest of all – a gentle first lesson.	0.68	×0.80
Grandpa	Slow and unhurried, and fills up fast.	0.70	×0.90
Granny	The most forgiving guest at the table – slow, but never rattled.	0.72	×0.80
Sumo	One enormous bite at a time – and nothing about him is fast.	0.74	×1.12
Mom-to-Be	Careful and slow, taking her time with every bite.	0.78	×0.85

* A speed of 1.0 is the baseline. The lower the number, the slower the beat and the more room you have to land the noodle.

The one to watch is Sumo. He is as relaxed as the Baby, yet his score is 1.12x. He is the only easy guest whose score is above the baseline.

Auntie is this game’s reference point: “Skilled and forgiving – the baseline every other guest is measured against.” Speed 0.95, score 0.95x. The Chef is a reference point too: “Flawlessly steady – the reference point every other guest bends away from.” Both his speed and his score are exactly 1.0.

These two and the Traveler (0.90 / ×1.00) keep an honest beat, which makes them the best guests for practicing how to read the ring.

Guest	In-game profile	Speed	Score
Boy	Quick and impatient, with little patience for a missed beat.	1.25	×1.15
Schoolgirl	Fast and exact, but she only ever takes small bites.	1.20	×1.05
Office Worker	Racing the lunch clock – fast, but careless with it.	1.20	×1.08
Trucker	Eats big and fast, which means he chokes often (profile text only; the real choke chance does not depend on the guest).	1.18	×1.18
Soldier	Discipline shows in every pull – steady hands, no hesitation.	1.15	×1.20
Big Eater	Eats big and loves every second of it.	1.15	×1.25
Girl	Precise but dainty – small bites, exact timing.	1.10	×1.10
Idol	Flawless composure – tiny, exact bites, never a hair out of place.	1.05	×1.25
Uncle	Takes huge bites in a hurry, so he chokes more often than most (profile text only; the real choke chance does not depend on the guest).	1.00	×1.10

Fast guests keep the mouth an O for only a short time, so the key is to wait right below the mouth beforehand. Within the 0.6 zone below the mouth it is fine to hold still, so park the noodle there and lift it just a little the instant the ring touches.

Guest	Speed	Score
Mukbang Star	1.45	×1.60
Food Critic	1.00	×1.45
Bodybuilder	1.35	×1.40
Bearded Man	1.05	×1.35
Gentleman	1.08	×1.32

The Mukbang Star is “Extreme in every way – the hardest guest, and the richest reward.” The fastest and the biggest score. The Food Critic has an average speed but a 1.45x score: the beat is demanding, but the payoff is big.

The Bearded Man’s trap

With the Bearded Man, the noodles you pull up keep catching in his beard: CAUGHT IN THE BEARD! If it snags while you’re pulling up the bowl’s first strand, you lose that strand and have to grab again (if it’s already in his mouth, you just get the message and a vibration and the noodle stays put). There is no penalty, but it costs time. The Trucker and the Gentleman do it too, very rarely.

So in a Bearded Man round, plan for extra time. The Hourglass item (+5 seconds) pairs well with him.

The next story is this game’s second hand: the toppings that land in the throat on the left, and choking.

Whoever sits down,
when the mouth is an O.
