The Basics
Delicious: Emily's Moms vs Dads is a time management game in which you prepare food/products and serve customers. This game contains an excellent tutorial at the beginning of the first level. If you are an experienced player of the Delicious games, you can skip it, but I advise players less familiar with the Delicious games to play it through. Game hints are also provided, to explain new features. These hints can be turned off in the settings menu.
Customers order food and pay for it. Click on the product requested, then click on the customer to serve it. Some items require multiple actions. Counter customers will immediately check out, while table customers take time to eat.
Tip: If you make a mistake and put something on your tray that you don't need, click on it and it will be removed from the tray.
When a customer is waiting to pay you will see an image of bills and coins; the coins represent the tip. The higher the customer happiness--the more hearts a customer has--the greater the tip. Unfortunately, the customers don't have happiness levels shown by a number of hearts next to them as many other games do, so you have to pay attention to customer facial expressions to know how they are feeling. You will know if a customer has maximum happiness (is ecstatic) because there will be a pulsing heart next to his head. If a customer is angry, his face becomes red. If he becomes furious it is shown by a storm cloud; a furious customer needs to be served immediately or he will leave and you will be penalized -50. Customers will become impatient and pay lower tips if they have to wait in line behind other customers for too long.
When a customer arrives at the counter to pay, a thought bubble will show a stack of money and a stack of coins. The coins are the tip amount; as a customer decreases in happiness the tip amount will decrease as well.
Doing the same action twice or three times in a row (chains) will help you achieve higher scores by giving you combo bonuses. Combos can be earned by having two or three complete orders prepared on your tray, and serving them to the customers without an interruption* to do another task.
*Serving customer orders can be interrupted by using the cash register, and the chain will not be broken.
Combos can also occur when using the cash register. When you check out two customers at the same time, you get a combo bonus. Note that this is not two customers in a row, but rather at the same time. When customers are ready to pay, they will stand at the counter; wait until you have two or three waiting to pay and one click of the cash register will take care of them all at once.

Tip: Plan to serve complete orders only, as doing this will give you a bonus per table or counter customer.
Combo bonuses are also given for cleaning more than one table at a time in a row. (+10 for two tables, +20 for three). There is also a +20 combo for having all tables clean at the end of the level.
You also earn +30 if your products are fully stocked at the end of the level.

You also earn +30 if your products are fully stocked at the end of the level.
The score for the story levels is measured in one, two, or three stars, depending on the amount of points you earn. You will win the level as long as you earn one star. The challenge levels have a set amount that must be met, without the option of earning more than one star.
Challenges and Challenge Levels:
Most levels have a challenge to be completed, and there are challenge levels to complete. Challenges don't have to be completed in the regular story levels, but add points if you do complete it. Each challenge completed, whether in a challenge level or story level, earns a diamond.
Tip: Sometimes you can't both complete a challenge and get three stars in a story level. If this happens, you can play the level twice: once to complete the challenge and once to reach three stars.
Menu/Unlocking Food:
The menu is shown before each level. Each product has several varieties that you can unlock. Clicking on the item on the menu tab will tell you how many need to be sold to unlock the next variety. Once unlocked, you can choose to use the new product. Each product offers different bonuses, which you can read about on the product's page. To see the item options, click on "menu" at the beginning of the level.
Carl the Mouse
Shop:
The shop is accessed at the beginning of each level by clicking on the shop icon, or by clicking on the shop icon on the map. Clicking on an item will tell you what bonus it gives, or what it does. Money is earned by earning stars on the story levels. You earn 120 for each star. You will need to earn three stars on at least some of the levels to have enough to buy all the decorations.
Diamonds
Trophies
Trophies are earned in the form of postcards, and can be viewed by clicking the trophy icon at the top of the map screen. Click on the item's outline to see the name of the trophy and what needs to be done to earn it. Most will be earned simply by playing through the game.

How do you change the challenge level on this game? I can't find an option!
ReplyDeletePlease let me know asap.
ReplyDeleteLike their last game, Emily's Miracle of Life, there is no way to change difficulty levels on this game. I'm not sure why they took away that option, but they did!
DeleteThey updated the game and now you can choose your level of difficulty. They got so many complaints. If you downloaded it, you may have to redownload it. I play through the Gamehouse website and it is updated there

DeleteThanks for the head's up!
Deletehi, could you please tell me how to accomplished Daily Explorer Trophy? It said that i completed 12 daily challenges when i think(?) i done it more.
ReplyDeleteMine says to complete 15 daily challenges, and tells how many I have completed. Try doing three more and hopefully it will work!
DeleteIn any of the levels of the last scenario "Father of the Year", customers will sometimes order a clear or pink soda that I cannot make. I let them get angry and leave, but I cannot finish a challenge or get that 3rd star. Have you had any problems with this?
ReplyDeleteNo, I've not had that. I do get the dark purple that is all three mixed together, but never anything like that. You might want to report it to them on their Facebook page as a glitch. They are usually pretty quick to respond. The only thing I can think of to do would be to uninstall/reinstall and see if that corrects it. So sorry!
DeleteYou get the light purple by clicking on the glass, then the red striped bag and blue bag and then the straw. For the green, you click on the yellow and the blue bags then the straw.
Deleteanyone know how to get three stars on the daily challenge when the trays have two slots that are blocked. It is Chapter 2 when the daily challenge appears.
ReplyDeleteThere's no definite way to follow, it's just luck on that one, really. Many of the challenges they made too difficult to earn all 3 stars.
DeleteThank you for making this blog. I was looking for help on finding the mouse on level 30 and found this site. You did an excellent job. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to put all the information on every level and snapshots on your blog. I'm impressed and want to tell you thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa! It is a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too, and getting a "thank you" makes it worth it!
DeleteHow do you buy all in the shop they don't give you enough money after you through with the game
ReplyDeleteYou have to continue to play the game over and to play the daily challenge levels, to earn enough money and diamonds to buy everything.
DeleteDaily challenges reward you with diamonds, not money.
DeleteHas anyone completed the game without the "Contest Specialist" achievement popping? It is described as "Complete all story events." I definitely completed all the levels. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteIt's not just complete the story levels, it's complete the events in the story levels--the events you earn a diamond for. I have not been able to beat the challenge on the level where you have to keep all customers 3 hearts or above, so I can't help you on this one. :(
DeleteI just came back to update that I had figured out just that. Thanks for responding so quickly!! I was able to beat the level you're stuck on, I wish I knew what to say to help ya. I know I didn't bother much with trying for combos and just delivered the food ASAP. Good luck!!!
DeleteI just went back and played it through on beginner and got the award. I hate that they made this one so difficult!
DeleteHELP!! I have played the game all the way through, had to replay some levels to get enough money to buy all the things in the stores. Fine. But please, somebody tell me HOW IN THE WORLD do I get enough diamonds to buy all of the options of the furniture? I have gotten 3 stars on all levels, 3 diamonds on all challenges and played the daily challenge 8 of the 15 days. I have 7 days left to play that but you only earn 6 diamonds per day if you get 3 stars. So how on earth do I get enough diamonds to earn the furniture. Help!
ReplyDeleteI haven't earned them all, either. I assumed that if you played the daily challenges that you would earn them all, but I haven't tried. (I didn't like this one as well as the other Delicious games, so I didn't work on all the awards.) I actually thought that the daily challenges went on indefinitely. There are only 15 days worth? Sorry I can't help! Maybe someone else will see your comment and be able to help.
DeleteYes Gypsi, you can only play for 15 days and if you get 3 stars on each day you will get 6 stars per day. For that one trophy, each piece of furniture has two options and you must purchase both options to get the trophy. Some of them are 26 diamonds each! No way you can get enough diamonds to get that trophy. Just a total bad design of this game all the way around.
DeleteI was really displeased with this game, I have to say. One thing I do suggest is to contact the developers through the Delicious Facebook page and ask them what the solution is. They generally respond within a working day or so. I'd be interested to hear what they say!
DeleteThanks I went there and sent a direct message. I hope they will help. I love all of the other games and this one was a horror for so many.
DeleteEven though it says play 15 days, I played every day until i had enough diamonds to purchase every item. Yes, it seems to take forever, but for an achievement hound like myself, its worth it to complete it!
DeleteGood for you!
DeleteAnd you can play indefinitely not just 15 days for the daily challenge until you earn the diamonds to purchase every item, lol. It continues to reward diamonds on the daily challenge every day you play, you are not restricted to just 15 days! :)
DeleteDear JustCasuallyGaming: How to do the baking together with the kids on the level 52 (Father of the Year part)? I have tried several times but when I need to drag the button down it just won't go down, and the customer will get angry and left... Please help.
ReplyDeleteThank you
First, click in the circle, hold down the button, and quickly move the mouse side to side--this is the "rub" action. Then, click in the circle and hold down the mouse button until the circle fills with blue--this is the "hold" motion. Then, click on the green circle and hold the mouse button down, then drag the mouse in the direction the arrow is pointing. This will happen twice. I hope this helps some!
DeletePut a 'fake' item you don't need into that slot. So if ordered 2 drinks put drink crisps drink on your tray. The two unlocked items are served (the two drinks) and the locked item falls out into the first square on the tray. From this, delete the item from tray. I have done this and got 3 stars.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteon the last level which is level 60 does anyone else wonder why you don't have the person to clean the tables or little vito to entertain the people sitting at the tables? just curious if anyone has these issues in the game as well?
ReplyDeleteOver the entire set of games, it is not unusual to have levels with the cleaner or entertainer gone for the day. I think they do it so that the level will be harder.
Delete
