The Token Bakery is an educational game that teaches players how tokenization works by turning text into bread. Each word becomes a loaf, and the AI “slices” it into tokens that players can visually see and count. The goal is to build the cheapest sandwich by choosing or rewriting sentences that use the fewest slices while keeping the meaning intact. Through fun rounds of slicing, comparing, and optimizing, players learn how different words, phrases, and languages produce different token costs revealing real-world implications for AI pricing, performance, and fairness. The bakery metaphor makes a complex AI concept simple, visual, and engaging for all learners. Game created on Lovable.
