Delicious – Emily’s Mansion Mystery General Tips & Tricks
Get ready to uncover secrets and solve a mysterious crime with these useful tips and tricks for Delicious – Emily’s Mansion Mystery! Learn how to play, how scoring works, as well as bonus tips and tricks, and more!
How to Play
Delicious – Emily’s Mansion Mystery is a GameHouse Premiere exclusive Time Management cooking game and is the 19th full game in the Delicious Series! The goal of the game is to serve as many guests as possible within a set time limit. The better your service, the higher your score!
Serve guests
Your main task during gameplay is to serve guests. First, select the item they ordered. Then it will be added to your inventory tray. Second, select the guest to deliver the order.
Ring up guests
After you serve orders to guests, they will approach the counter. While everything at the mansion is au gratis, the matriarch wants an EXACT account of how much she’s spending. Ring up guests’ orders on the tablet to keep track.
Combine items together
Some orders must be assembled before they can be delivered to guests. To do this, select the ingredients in the correct sequence.
Cooking and restocking items
Some orders take time to prepare. Keep an eye on the meter to see how far along the order is. Make sure to collect the order when the arrow is in the green zone so it doesn’t burn or spill. Also, some products may need to be restocked, so keep an eye on the number shown next to the products. Tip! Restock all items at the start of the day to get ahead early on.
Keep your eyes on your inventory tray
Your inventory tray is limited. When all the slots are filled, you can’t pick up any new products. To free up slots, you have to either deliver the orders to the guests or you can discard items by clicking or tapping on their icon on your tray.
Keep your location clean
After guests have finished at a table, they leave a mess behind. Select the table to clean it as soon as possible as new guests can’t use a dirty table.
Catch the Mouse
Carl the mouse is hidden in each of the game’s 90 levels, which includes 60 story levels and 30 bonus levels. Carl will pop up as you play each level and you’ll hear his soft squeak before he disappears again (so keep the game sound on)! Find all 90 mice to unlock a special trophy!
Minigames
Minigames are present in almost every level in all chapter locations and will be different in each location. Play minigames to earn bonus points – the more stars earned for a minigame (up to three), the higher your score. Tip! Bonus Levels are more challenging, so minigames are especially helpful in these levels to earn more points. You can find more information on each minigame in the Chapter Guide.
Menu and Shop Upgrades
Different Menu and Shop Upgrades are available in each chapter and offer ways to increase the number of points you earn or your efficiency, so you can ultimately earn more stars, which leads to more coins and diamonds. Shop Upgrades can be purchased using coins, while Menu Upgrades are unlocked as you play levels. You can find details on the Menu and Shop Upgrades available in each chapter in the Chapter Guide.
Scoring, Coins, and Guest Happiness
Guest Happiness
You’ll earn tips based on guest satisfaction levels. Each guest has hearts over their head indicating how happy they are:
5 Hearts = Ecstatic!
4 Hearts = Very Happy
3 Hearts = Happy
2 Hearts = Slightly Unhappy
1 Heart = Angry
The more hearts a guest has over their head when you ring them up, the higher the points you’ll receive – which means a higher score and ultimately more coins! Guests with no hearts will leave without giving you any points, so be careful!
Scoring and Coins
Throughout each level you will earn a score and that score will determine how many stars you are awarded after playing the level. Each star (3 in total) is worth a certain amount of coins.
For example – the first star might be worth 50 coins, the second star worth 100 coins, and the third star worth 150 coins. If you earn all 3 stars, you’ll earn 300 coins (based on this example). You can use coins to purchase Shop Upgrades and different Wedding Venue upgrade styles.
Earning bonus points will help you get a higher score, which will lead to more stars and ultimately more coins. You can earn bonus points by completing combos or special services:
-
- Checkout Combo – Ring up multiple guests at the same time to get bonus points.
-
- Cleaning Combo – Clean multiple tables in a row to increase your score.
-
- Chain Combo – Bring multiple guests all the items they want in a row to increase your score.
-
- Full Order Bonus – Bring all the items a guest asks for in a single trip to get bonus points.
-
- Quick Service Bonus – Deliver all the items a guest asks for within a short period of time to get bonus points.
-
- Event Bonus – Complete the side objective to get bonus points and earn more diamonds.
-
- Mouse Bonus – Find Carl the mouse hiding in each level to get bonus points and earn more diamonds.
-
- All Clean Bonus – Have all tables clean at the end of the level BEFORE ringing up the last guest to receive a bonus.
Earning Diamonds
You’ll earn diamonds upon completing all story and bonus levels. You can earn up to 5 diamonds on story levels and up to 5 diamonds on bonus levels. You’ll get 1 diamond per star earned, 1 for finding the mouse, and 1 for completing the side objective. You can then use your diamonds to purchase upgrades for the Wedding Venue.
Additional Tips and Tricks
Need more coins to buy Shop Upgrades and different Wedding Venue options? Check out the tips below:
-
- Replay levels (PC) – You can replay all levels and receive more coins each time you replay. Plus, you’ll earn a special trophy for replaying any levels of your choice 100 times. Tip! Replaying levels where the stars are worth more coins and after upgrading certain Menu items will get you even more coins!
-
- Use ALL Menu Upgrades – As soon as new Menu Upgrades are available – select them! By upgrading your menu as soon as possible, you’ll get bigger tips, increase guest patience or recover hearts, which in turn gives you a higher score and more stars, leading to more coins. Other Menu Upgrades, such as reducing restocking or preparation times, will increase your efficiency and ultimately get you a higher score, leading to more coins!
-
- Minigames – Play as many of the minigames as you can in each level to earn extra points so you can get all 3 stars, meaning more coins.
