The Duo as a waffle iron: pour on the open display, fold it shut to bake, unfold in time
Does WaffleKing work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, it's made for the Duo, and seen in simulator screenshots: pour batter on the open display, fold the phone to bake while the cover shows the closed iron, then unfold in time.
- Simulator verifiedJan Speich of Mixreelz, a one-person studio in Germany, in an email to FoldHunt on October 22, 2026, with a 17-second clip and the press kit, which says its screenshots and videos were recorded in the iPhone Duo simulator. The App Store seller is Jan Speich. Version 1.0 came out on October 22, 2026; the store description says the game is made for iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1 or later, and that on iPhone models that don't fold a tap on the handle closes the iron instead.
Adapted for the fold
- Open · Inner display
Pour on the open iron
Open, the display is the waffle iron lying open, with its hinge on the fold: you pour the batter onto the lower plate, and the menu and the customer's order sit on the lid above. Unfold the phone at the right moment and the waffle is graded, from strings of raw goo to golden perfection.
- Closed · Outer display
Fold it shut to bake
Fold the phone and the cover shows the closed iron, held sideways: its light glows while it heats, steam puffs from the seams, and smoke warns you, politely at first, when it's getting late.
About WaffleKing
WaffleKing is a free timing game from Mixreelz, the one-person studio of Jan Speich in Germany, that turns the phone into a waffle iron. Quick Waffle is one waffle and one score. Shop Shift brings five customers with their own orders, from light golden to well done and half a waffle to a round one, with tips, streaks and up to three stars. In the Daily Challenge a guest of honor, such as the Mayor, the Astronaut or the Detective, orders one special waffle, the same for everyone, with exactly one try a day. Game Center has leaderboards for the daily special and your best shift, and achievements. There are no in-app purchases and no tracking, and it’s in English and German.
On the iPhone Duo, the fold is the iron’s hinge and the only control for the bake. Pour batter on the inner display, fold the phone shut and watch the cover, where the closed iron’s light glows, steam rises and, if you wait too long, smoke turns white, then brown, then black. Unfold too early and you pull apart raw goo; unfold at the right moment for a golden waffle. The game is made for the Duo, but on iPhone models that don’t fold, “Try anyway” turns a tap on the handle into the fold.
Evidence reviews
What we checked, when, and what the evidence establishes. Each record preserves the support label at that check.
· Simulator screenshots reviewed
Simulator verified · iphone-duo
Checked the press kit, which says its media were recorded in the iPhone Duo simulator. Five screenshots are 2007 × 2853 (one 2006 × 2852), the open display upright: the open iron with the menu, an order and poured batter, a golden waffle graded S, raw goo pulled apart, and the Daily Challenge. One is 2034 × 1398, the cover sideways, with the closed iron and its light. The three 17-second clips edit the same captures with captions.
Poses shown: Open, Closed. These are observations of the evidence, not a test of every interaction.
App version: Not recorded in this evidence. Environment: iPhone Duo simulator.
The game hides the status bar, so the simulator is told by the press kit's statement and the exact capture sizes. The clips are promotional edits that cut between the open display and the cover, and no app or Xcode version is given. No build was tested.
