Inspired by pizzerias of the 80s and 90s that offered arcade games, Mike’s Hot Honey created Slice Hunter. "The idea behind Slice Hunter was to connect people back to memories of playing classic arcade games in their childhood pizzerias," said Mike’s Hot Honey founder, Mike Kurtz, “The smell of a fresh pie out the oven, the 8-bit sounds of a classic video game, stained drop-ceiling tiles, Tiffany lamps."
The nostalgic arcade game invites players to play as Mike's Hot Honey bottle and embark on a space adventure to defeat the food invaders. In the game, players will aim at everything from pizza to chicken wings and ice cream, highlighting many ways that the sweet and spicy sauce can be enjoyed.
