A Collaboration Between IHOP And Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Is Just The Beginning

IHOP Is The “Official Breakfast Partner Of Xbox”

News of the IHOP xIndiana Jonescollab caught me by surprise because I wouldn’t normally think of adventuring and pancakes in the same sentence. Looking deeper into the history of IHOP collaborations reveals thatthe International House of Pancakes is no stranger to seemingly outlandish collabs. IHOP frequently collaborates with movies, other restaurants, franchises, and even a pet toy company calledP.L.A.Y.(which turns IHOP items into dog toys and not, as I first thought, vice versa).

As the sugary breakfast chain restaurant sets itself up as the “official breakfast partner of Xbox,” it’s very likely that players will continue to see more video game-themed merch and collaborations from IHOP.Indiana Jones and the Great Circlemay be the first in a series of Xbox exclusives to grace the tables of an IHOP near you.
