There doesn’t seem to be that option here and instead there’s just an option to subscribe to Game House. I’m really frustrated that, if I don’t want to play with ads, I’d have to play ten dollars per MONTH as opposed to the one time ten dollar charge I was more comfortable with. Really disappointing. **Developer response:** Hi there! You can try finding the option to purchase the game when tapping on the paywall to the "Play Without Limits" button. Hope this helps! ### 3/5 — Some suggestions and kind of overwhelmed *2026-07-06* I like the game, great story. However, after I played the levels and I replayed the levels, the ads are still popping up, it makes my phone slow or freeze and it kind of annoying. Also after you’ve beaten all the chapters 3 stars, I need the coins to upgrade the kitchen to get 100% completion, but the most coins I can earn is 80 coins and I need at least 5000 coins to upgrade everything in a restaurant. And ads becoming very annoying after that. I hope developer reconsider to make it less boring like that. **Developer response:** Hi there! Sorry to hear your subscription isn’t being recognized. Try restoring it in the game’s menu or the app where you started your subscription. Also, make sure you're using the same account you subscribed with. Restarting the app or device may help too. Still having trouble? Our support team is happy to assist! 😊 ### 3/5 — New challenge is terrible *2026-06-22* There’s a challenge in this game that I haven’t seen before “don’t serve forgetful customers”. Dumbest challenge you can give for people and players who serve customers before we’re aware that they’re forgetful. So I’m just supposed to wait for customers to MAYBE forget their orders meanwhile I’m risking losing hearts and extra money if they’re not forgetful because I have to wait until I see question marks. And not to mention if they are forgetting and I start making their food, now I have extra food on my tray I have to keep throwing away. Extremely dumb. Please don’t do this again in another game. It’s not a fun challenge. It’s almost impossible and just straight up inconvenient in the game. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Your input helps us make the experience even better. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see, feel free to let us know. Happy gaming! 😊 ### 3/5 — chatisse de anuncio *2026-05-15* o jogo é muito gostosinho de jogar mas vsfd ter que assistir anuncio pra jogar uma fase???? o jogo praticamente te obriga a comprar o pacote sem anúncios, pelo amor **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback! Estamos sempre buscando melhorar e valorizamos suas sugestões. Sua opinião nos ajuda a tornar a experiência ainda melhor. Se houver algo específico que você gostaria de ver, nos avise. Boa diversão! 😊 ### 3/5 — Delicious: Recipe for Renewal *2026-02-20* I’ve been playing all the Gamehouse games for years and loved them all but this game is pretty glitchy. There are several levels that the hearts drop to zero before you can even pick up the first item. Makes it impossible to win the level. I’ve never experienced this with any of the other games. Are you working on a fix? Otherwise I really do love these games. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing! If you notice hearts dropping faster, special customers may be involved. Karen (grey hearts) lowers others’ patience, and the Impatient customer (orange hearts) gets frustrated quickly. Try serving them first to keep things running smoothly! 💙 ### 4/5 — Fantastic Until Level 56 *2026-02-19* I am a true fan of the entire Delicious Series, and have been patiently waiting for this new installment. My only complaint is the time given to serve the customers beginning with Level 56, back at Emily’s. Even on “ Easy” there is not enough time to make the order AND serve the customer! The customers come in with very low hearts and we only have mere seconds to try to serve them, so they all walk out. Even buying all of things to assist doesn’t help. It takes WAY too long to make the items, it’s so slow! This is very unfair. Every restaurant and level are great until level 56, and I would like to finish the game but I cannot. Please, PLEASE speed up the processing/cooking time! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Your input helps us make the experience even better. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see, feel free to let us know. Happy gaming! 😊 ### 4/5 — Love the Game but Major Glitch *2026-02-16* The game is wonderful as always but there is a glitch on some levels where the customer hearts go down ridiculously quickly. It’s sporadic throughout the game but on levels 6-3 and 56 it makes it impossible to get the achievement. I was hoping that the last update would correct this, but alas it did not. It’s still a joy to play, but my inner achievement hunter is woefully out of sorts. **Developer response:** We're grateful for you sending us this review! If the hearts are dropping faster, the Karen (🩶🩶🩶) lowers others’ patience, and the Impatient customer (🧡🧡🧡) gets frustrated quickly. Serve them first to keep things running💙 By this, we can reassure you that this is an intended game mechanic.😊 As a gesture of goodwill, here's a link to our official guide: https://www.gamehouse.com/blog/2025/12/delicious-emily-recipe-for-renewal-gh/ Again, thank you! ### 4/5 — Can’t Get Enough! *2026-02-15* I love all Delicious/GameHouse time management games… I pay for the subscription, and don’t mind as long as new games come out consistently… It is VERY FRUSTRATING that once you get to the bonus games (starting at 5-2 and most bonus levels after), customers lose hearts before you can serve them… like all of their hearts… it has nothing to do with the side quest, either… I skip those levels, which is disheartening **Developer response:** We're grateful for you sending us this review! If the hearts are dropping faster, the Karen (🩶🩶🩶) lowers others’ patience, and the Impatient customer (🧡🧡🧡) gets frustrated quickly.

I am very impressed that they actually read and respond. Thank you! Love these games so much!! **Developer response:** We're grateful for sending us this review💙 The Team is aware of the bug in Level 9, but selecting Antonio as your helper will let you continue. We're currently already working on a fix, and sincerely thank you for your understanding! 😊 ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-02-13* Played years ago, before games had adds after each episode. Still a great game and you can play it over and over. Highly recommend. ### 3/5 — ads *2026-02-12* i’ve been obsessed with these games for years and i prefer the old style of the game like this new one. the modern versions don’t look authentic and look tacky. the only negative thing i’d say is the amount of ads you get. it’s before and after playing each round, i think it’s a bit too extreme but other than that it’s incredibly great! **Developer response:** We genuinely appreciate your sharing your thoughts with us about the Ads. While no subscription is needed to explore the app, these required Ads play as a small bargain for the unlimited access. Some ads don't load as they might just not be available to your area. Want ad-free play and all perks? That’s where the GH+ VIP Membership comes in. 💙😊 ### 3/5 — Level 6-3 is Impossible! *2026-02-12* I can’t complete this level because of customers losing their patience too fast. Please fix it for me! **Developer response:** We're grateful for you sending us this review!

Versuche, dein Gerät neu zu starten, Speicherplatz freizugeben und sicherzustellen, dass du die neuesten Updates hast. Falls das Problem bleibt, kontaktiere uns über die App oder per E-Mail an mobilesupport@gamehouse.com mit deinen Gerätedetails. Wir helfen dir gern! 😊 ### 1/5 — Crashed and lost my progress *2026-03-18* I had been playing for a day and a half when the screen went dark. I tried quitting and restarting several times to reopen to a black screen. I decided to delete and reinstall the app and all my progress was gone. I just purchased the game, so frustrating to find it’s this unstable. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! We’d love to take a closer look. Could you reach out through the app or at gamehouse.helpshift.com/hc/en/10-gamehouse/ with details about the issue and your device? The more info, the better! Looking forward to helping you out. 😊 ### 1/5 — Рисовка кринж *2026-03-07* Некрасивая рисовка, некрасивый текст. Игра сырая тормозит. Непонятно для чего сделана анимация «покачивания головы» первые игры этой компании 10 лет назад выглядят лучше **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв! Мы всегда стремимся к улучшению и ценим ваши идеи. Ваше мнение помогает нам сделать игру ещё лучше. Если у вас есть пожелания, дайте нам знать. Приятной игры! 😊 ### 1/5 — No ads doesn’t work *2026-02-18* I have been subscribing to gamehouse for over 10 years and for some reason this game has ads when you aren’t supposed to have when you pay monthly , reached out to support to no avail . Very disappointed . **Developer response:** We genuinely appreciate you reporting this with us. You may try restoring your subscription it in the game’s menu or the app where you started your subscription. Also, make sure you're using the same account you subscribed with. Still in need of assistance? Please contact us through the app! We'll be there💙😊 ### 1/5 — Abo unbrauchbar *2026-02-15* Abo funktioniert nicht. Keiner Erreichbar. Keine Lösung. Unterirdisch. **Developer response:** Hallo! Schade, dass dein Abo nicht erkannt wird. Versuche, es im Spielmenü oder in der App, in der du es abgeschlossen hast, wiederherzustellen. Stelle auch sicher, dass du das gleiche Konto nutzt. Ein Neustart der App oder deines Geräts kann helfen. Noch Probleme? Unser Support hilft dir gern! 😊 ### 1/5 — Buggy & requires subscription *2026-02-09* I’m not sure if this is just a waiting period before I can purchase the single game vs. being locked into this expensive and pointless subscription which doesn’t reward people who have already purchased and played every single title. But it’s dismaying to hit a wall in one of the most beloved title characters from this publisher. Expect bugs too, as early as level 4 when the level ends early once the last customers have arrived. It’s a bummer to see this flimsy quality control paired with this ravenous monetization scheme. :( Please address this GH, I know I’m not the only reviewer experiencing these frustrations with this inability to purchase individual games! **Developer response:** We are genuinely grateful for sending us this review, and very much appreciate all this feedback. While the game is fully playable with required ads, to avail our subscription guarantees absolute access to 100+ premium games and perks -- a relinquish from Ads entails relinquish from ads-related mishaps. Sometimes ads really do fail to load on their own, and/or just aren’t readily available. Should this persist consistently, please reach out to us through the app with more details, so we can take a closer look. 😊 ### 1/5 — Awesome Game! *2026-02-05* I grew up playing Emily’s games and I’m loving playing more of them and watching her family grow and expand **Developer response:** We're grateful for this lovely review! 💙Just a heads-up: 1 star is the lowest rating, while 5 stars is the best. If you meant to give a higher rating, we’d really appreciate an update! 🥰 Again, thank you and happy gaming! ### 2/5 — Delicious recipe for renewal *2026-06-11* On level 5-3 you can not earn a diamond the game doesn’t allow it. The challenge is to make and serve 12 gazpacho the level will only give you 2 gazpacho even if you get 3 stars I won’t be buy anymore games because of this **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Your input helps us make the experience even better. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see, feel free to let us know. Happy gaming! 😊 ### 2/5 — Level 6-3 *2026-02-15* What is up with this challenge level? The rest of the game is fun but the customers hearts are gone in 3 seconds and so they leave and you can’t win the challenge. I have tried everything and it’s even on easy. I have all the upgrades as well. **Developer response:** We're grateful for you sending us this review! If the hearts are dropping faster, the Karen (🩶🩶🩶) lowers others’ patience, and the Impatient customer (🧡🧡🧡) gets frustrated quickly.

By the start of Chapter 4 -- Sugar Nest, things really can be a headache, but that's exactly how the game challenges you to be both smarter and quicker. Do check out our official guide and walkthrough for more tips and tricks: https://www.gamehouse.com/blog/2025/12/delicious-emily-recipe-for-renewal-gh/ Again, thank you!💙😊 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS SERIES!! *2026-08-15* The story lines, music and strategies chosen for each level are really well thought out.

You can’t drag them to table and the dude with violin does not even on the levels **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! We’d love to take a closer look. Could you reach out through the app or at gamehouse.helpshift.com/hc/en/10-gamehouse/ with details about the issue and your device? The more info, the better!

Beautiful graphics, great storytelling, and love that I can still pay for the game and just play through the whole story as many times as I want to. Thank you to everyone who keeps Emily’s story going. I will forever be a fan and continue to play. Excited about the new adventures to come. **Developer response:** Thanks for the lovely review! 💙 It’s players like you who keep us inspired.

Well over 10 years and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I love watching her family stories and games. I’m so excited to keep playing her for hopefully many more years to come. And maybe even play more Paige spinoffs as she one day ages and I have been a long time subscriber on and off and will definitely continue as long as I’m able lol **Developer response:** Thanks for the lovely review! 💙 It’s players like you who keep us inspired. Feel free to spread the joy—every bit of support helps us grow and bring you more great games! 😊 ### 5/5 — Always amazing! *2026-04-04* I’ve been playing Delicious for nearly 15 years. The story line is always on point and draws me in. I feel like I know these people. Thank you for this newest story-we all need renewal as time passes. I gladly pay the subscription fee to be able to go back and play older stories and remember why I fell in love with it so many years ago. Keep doing this - the character growth is genuine. ❤️❤️ **Developer response:** Thanks for the lovely review! 💙 It’s players like you who keep us inspired.

I have been playing Emily games and Gamehouse games for sooo long. This game is just as addicting, the graphics are wonderful and I love the challenge! Can’t wait to see what happens next for O’Malleys! **Developer response:** Thanks for the lovely review! 💙 It’s players like you who keep us inspired. Feel free to spread the joy—every bit of support helps us grow and bring you more great games! 😊 ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-03-28* Loved that it was a little harder than the last few games which makes it more fun to play. Maybe talk about the Karen character in the description so people know they’ll lose hearts faster if she’s not served quick. I’m trying to get used to people using the name Karen as something bad but am glad she wasn’t mean or anything. Loved the added characters it made it more interesting. I wish we didn’t have to go back in the game to finish getting the trophies because it interrupts the finale. Maybe have the store that you create as part of the story that you can run like other restaurants, I think that would make it more personal and cute. Thank you, waiting on more . Love the sentimental story and shareable tips **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
