"Delicious: Emily's Taste of Fame" Walkthrough and Tips


Note: I only play games on the PC, so I may not be able to
 help with other platforms.



The Basics

Delicious: Emily's Taste of Fame is a time management game in which you prepare food and serve it to 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 through it.  Game hints are also provided, to explain new features.  These can be turned off in the settings menu.


Note about exiting the game: For some reason, the only way to exit this game is from the menu while playing a level.  If you want to exit from the calendar screen, you will need to hit escape, which puts the game in a smaller window, then hit the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the game screen.

The Platinum Edition includes a walkthrough of each level if you get stuck.  It does not, however, explain the bonus goals.  A solution to each one is provided in this post.

"Gardens Inc.: From Rakes to Riches" Walkthrough and Tips


Gardens Inc, : From Rakes to Riches is a time/resource management game in which you collect and use resources to build beautiful gardens.


The first levels contain an excellent tutorial. The tutorial part of the level can be skipped if you wish.  However, if you are not familiar with the Gardens Inc, games, I recommend you play it.  Any time a new feature is introduced, the game will walk you through it, as well.

Note: When you complete the last goal, the chapter automatically finishes.  If you want to collect extra resources to increase your score, you must do it before you complete that last goal.  Any tasks queued up after the last goal is completed will be ignored.

Tip: You can queue as many actions as you have resources available to complete.  When you have more than one worker, the next available worker will begin the next task in the queue.

Tip: You can right click to cancel the next action.  You can continue to right click until all your queued actions have been cancelled.

Tip: The level timer does not begin until you make your first click.  Take a moment to read the goals and plan out your first moves.

Tip: You may not have to repair all the paths to complete the level.  Pay attention to your goals so that you won't waste time and resources needlessly repairing paths or bridges.

Tip: Do not upgrade your truck until you have enough tasks available to need more than one person.  Otherwise, you will have one person not doing anything and may have wasted resources that you will need for another task.

"Delicious: Emily's True Love" Walkthrough and Tips


Note: I only play games on the PC, so I may not be able to help with other platforms.

Basics:

This game has an excellent tutorial, accessed from the main menu.  I recommend you to play it first if you've not played one of the Delicious games.

Customers order food and pay for it.  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 greater the tip.  Unfortunately, the customers don't have happiness levels shown by 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 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

As you play, you will get to know your customers and their level of patience.  The overweight customers (know as "Foodies") and the Senior customers have the most patience and can be made to wait so you can make combos.  Kids have the least patience.

"Delicious: Emily's Childhood Memories" Walkthrough and Tips

Note: I only play games on the PC, so I may not be able to help with other platforms.



Basics:
Delicious: Emily's Childhood Memories is one of the "Delicious" series of time management game.  A customer's order will appear in a thought balloon over his head, and you play (mostly) as Emily, serving the customer by preparing the food.  For most items, this simply requires clicking on the corresponding food; other food may require several steps.  This game contains an excellent basic tutorial before the first level; if you've not played one of the Delicious games before, I recommend you play it.

Tip: This game can be slow to load levels.  Don't panic, thinking that it's frozen; just give it a little more time than you would usually allow.

"Delicious: Emily's New Beginning" Walkthrough and Tips



Note: I only play games on the PC, so I may not be able to help with other platforms.

Basics:
Delicious: Emily's New Beginning is one of the "Delicious" series of time management game.  A customer's order will appear in a thought balloon over his head, and you play as Emily, serving the customer by preparing the food.  For most items, this simple requires clicking on the corresponding food; other food may require several steps.  When you encounter a new food that requires more than just one click to prepare it, the game, using a large arrow, will walk you through preparing the item for the first time.  This game offers an excellent tutorial before the first level; if this is your first time playing a Delicious game, I recommend playing through the tutorial.
