It stops you whenever it so chooses. Sometimes I make it to 80,00 and high score is 113,000. It stops it at random other times. I check to see how many challenges I’ve failed and it’s never been over 3. It would stop it if I failed none. It’s just annoying and false advertising. Plus it’s a knock off of Emily. Decent to waste time but definitely NOT YOUR MONEY. **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 — No Story *2026-04-07, version 1.1* This one had no story, it’s kinda just for fun. I wouldn’t buy the full after the trial. ### 4/5 — Level 71 *2025-09-30, version 0.4* Tried numerous times but cannot complete Level 71. Not enough customers to achieve challenge: 9 out of 12 multiple customers only. PLEASE FIX!!! ### 3/5 — Can’t See All Items *2025-08-27* The game itself is pretty great. I can’t get over the whole bottom of my iPad screen being covered by the menu though. You can just barely see the food items hiding behind it. So annoying. And when you have to find x amount of items on the screen, good luck if they’re hiding there. Please put out a patch to fix this. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! We’d love to take a closer look. Could you reach out through the app or at gamehousestories.zendesk.com with details about the issue and your device? The more info, the better! Looking forward to helping you out. 😊 ### 4/5 — Part of my screen is not visible *2025-08-17, version 0.4* Would be a 5 but there is part of sceeen (at the bottom where the food items are) that I can’t see. ### 2/5 — Remake could of been done better *2025-07-31, version 0.4* Look i played the first game when i was 10 (i was born in 2000) and i had a issue with the past 3 releases (the animation lookin ew) and right i understand resources and such but the characters look lifeless ### 3/5 — Many issues in iPad version *2025-07-20, version 0.4* I enjoyed the gameplay overall and enjoyed the various cruisines. There are a lot of issues however. The lower bench ingredients were tricky to grab in all restaurants as it was partially covered by the information bar (where stars etc are displayed) in this iPad version of the game. The hard mode score for three stars in the Agave Pot restaurant is unachievable. I tried to report this to customer support and the response was just a link to ‘tips and tricks’ which I found insulting, as I have played all the GameHouse time management games on hard mode with no issue and achieved the 3 hard mode stars on all the other restaurants within the game. I explained this in my response trying to tell them it was a genuine issue, posted a video of me playing the level and received the response that they see no issue and sent me tips and tricks again. Also, there aren’t enough diamonds given in the game to buy all the decor upgrades in all the restaurants. ### 3/5 — Adds only? *2025-07-15, version 0.4* Why does the game keep closing or shutting down after it shows an add? I want to play not just watch adds. ### 3/5 — Naja *2025-06-07* Das spiel macht schon spaß vorallem gefällt mir das mit der einrichtung und das man so vieles selbst bestimmen kann!!Was ich leider nicht so toll finde und deswegen auch 2 sterne abzug ist das da einfach keine story ist denn die story ist mir das wichtigste bri denn spielen :( Ich hoffe in der zukunft für mehr delicous emily spiele mit einer guten story und ddm gleichem einrichtungs system!! **Developer response:** Hi! Danke für dein Feedback! Das neueste Delicious Emily-Spiel ist eine Spezialedition, inspiriert vom allerersten Delicious-Spiel, das ebenfalls keine Story hatte. Wir wollten den Ursprung feiern – mit klassischem Zeitmanagement-Spaß. Viel Spaß mit diesem nostalgischen Twist! Lass uns wissen, wenn du Feedback hast. Viel Spaß beim Kochen! 😊 ### 2/5 — So many ads!! *2025-06-01, version 0.4* Oh for the good old days! I play the old Delicious games over and over, for a reason. They are great stories, fun to play, and they have NO ADS! I tried to give this game a go, but sure enough, after the first few levels, the ads started - and not short ones either. Plus, the games just aren’t as polished, and the stories aren’t as endearing. I’m out! ### 4/5 — Disappointed *2025-05-25* I’ve played Emily games for years. I have all of Emily games & this one is my least favorite. I’m disappointed that there’s no storyline. I felt the developers were very lazy also. Each location have all the same goals. It’s so repetitive. 🙄 for example find all the objects or serve customers quickly. Like omg really? On every freaking level? Be more creative than that. Idk if there’s new management in GH but since they came back from their hiatus. It’s never been quite right. I love these games and appreciate it but would love to see some improvement! **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback! The latest Delicious Emily game is a special edition, inspired by the very first Delicious game, which also didn’t have a story. We wanted to celebrate where it all began with pure, classic time-management fun. Hope you enjoy this nostalgic twist! Let us know if you have any feedback. Happy cooking! 😊 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads after purchasing game *2026-02-01, version 1.1* I purchased the game for $14.99 and didn’t subscribe to their membership. You would think that purchasing the game would include “No Ads” but nope. That sucks! ### 1/5 — Fun game but ads ruin it *2026-01-31, version 1.1* Love the actual game but having to watch an ad or two to play each level is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2025-12-08, version 1.1* I’ve had this since November and I have yet to be able to get past the Accept screen. When I tap accept the screen just goes black. This is a broken app. I’ve deleted and downloaded twice and still it doesn’t work. Not worth the effort in downloading something broken. I had to give it one star to post this review. I hope this gets fixed because I am a fan of the Delicious Emily games. ### 1/5 — Subscription option only *2025-10-21, version 0.4* I would like to be able to purchase games individually. ### 1/5 — Subscriptions, the death of all joy! *2025-10-19, version 0.4* To think I’m supposed to watch an ad before and after each level or pay $14.99 for a game. The developers have truly lost it. This game will be promptly deleted from my device. ### 1/5 — Werbung *2025-08-12* Nach und ab dem 6 lvl muss man jedes Spiel mit einer Werbung starten oder wie so typisch natürlich Geld dafür zahlen. 1 Stern! **Developer response:** Hi! Du kannst das komplette Spiel kostenlos mit Werbung zwischen den Levels spielen oder mit einem GameHouse-Abo werbefrei genießen. Das Abo bietet zudem Zugang zu 60+ Spielen und Extras in anderen Spielen. Den gesamten Katalog findest du in der GameHouse-App. Brauchst du Hilfe?

I deleted game and just downloaded it again today and you are still after level five you are still asking me to buy the game even when I pressed restore. What gives? I am not buying this game again. ### 1/5 — Bug Found in Gameplay *2025-07-11, version 0.4* Found that level 6.2 did not allow you to get three stars although you scored it and completed challenge and found mouse. Their tech support did not assist in resolution. ### 1/5 — Trop de pubs *2025-07-02* Publicités interminables ! Avant et après chaque partie. On nous propose des publicités pour débloquer des récompenses, mais même si on ne les prend pas, on doit quand même subir une publicité en plus. **Developer response:** Salut ! Tu peux jouer gratuitement avec des pubs entre les niveaux ou profiter d’une expérience sans pubs avec un abonnement GameHouse. L’abonnement donne aussi accès à 60+ jeux et avantages dans d’autres jeux. Découvre le catalogue complet dans l’app GameHouse. Besoin d’aide ? Contacte-nous à ghos@gamehouse.com ! 😊 ### 1/5 — No Storyline? No thanks *2025-05-27, version 0.4* I have played the Delicious game series since I was a kid on pc. The reason Emily games are still as popular today as they were a decade or more ago is because of the storylines! To me that’s the best part of the game. If you take that away, all you are left with is a regular time management game that you can download on the AppStore. BRING BACK THE STORYLINES. That’s also why your other time management games are so popular. Plus most of them tie back to Emily. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! *2025-10-19, version 0.4* Love it ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2025-10-05, version 0.4* I am a senior who has played all of Emily’s games.

Changing out the menu, interior and the decor makes this game so entertaining. I redecorate the restaurants every game. Please make more like this ! ### 5/5 — Always 5 stars *2025-08-02* I love your time management games so much, I play all of them and you’re the first game company I’ve paid a subscription for.

This is the reason I pay for a subscription. Please do more of these instead of merge 3 games. I have played every Delicious game Icould get my hands on! Thanks ### 5/5 — Love the game *2025-05-18* 2nd time playing this. It’s weird not having a story line. Usually, I don’t really pay attention to the story lines, except Emily. Cons- I love being able to buy a waiter and a cleaner. It gets hard sometimes when whoever is busy doing side quests and Emily has to do it all. So, maybe, put that option in a new games again, I loved the options to buy all kitchen, decor, interior. Great game. I’ve played all of the games since day 1- the first release. Only thing I’d say bad. Is new games don’t come out fast enough. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback!
