About South Park: Chef's Luv Shack
South Park: Chef's Luv Shack is a 2D game-show style video game based on the television show South Park. It gained its popularity by having mini games and the ability to play against friends in a challenge for the most points. It also involves trivia questions about South Park and other topics. The game intermittently switches between questions and minigames, with a minigame proceeding every three questions. Players score points by answering questions first (correctly) and based on minigame ranking. Players lose points for questions answered incorrectly. The game is exclusively multiplayer, as when played by one player, there is no AI, so that player always wins, even with a negative score

A South Park trivia and minigame party game: fun for fans for a few days, and priced at the library median.
South Park: Chef's Luv Shack is a game-show-style party game from Acclaim Studios Austin, released on the N64 in North America in December 1999 and in PAL regions the same month. It combines minigames, South Park trivia questions and up to four-player multiplayer.
Reviews of the N64 version were mixed. GamePro's reviewer said fans of the show would have a lot of fun but that others should buy it only if they must own everything South Park. N64 Magazine rated it highly, calling it simple, well designed and different from Mario Party.
