Although I have not yet finished the game and have a few more minutes left in the trial, I am buying the game! This is the third installment of this series that BF has released, and it's as much a winner as the previous two Delicious games, especially since you have three levels of play, making it easier to obtain the expert levels. The best things about the game are that you don't click like a raving maniac, the characters are humorous and well-defined, the graphics are crisp, the music is actually rather relaxing, the scenarios are cute and well-designed ... need more? Then buy the game, and you will have hours of fun following the saga of the newlyweds. I have not found anything to distract me or disappoint me in this game, as it is as well-developed as the other two Delicious games. You will enjoy the scenarios and the upgrades and finding that evasive mouse for each level! If you're looking for a good TM game, then I would highly suggest that you give this one a whirl! Enjoy!!
I recommend this game!

I bought the game even before the trial period was up! This game is similar to the other Delicious game in that it has the same characters but a different and cute storyline. The things that I enjoy in this series of games: you don't click like a maniac; the graphics are great and well-defined; the mini games are playable; the levels can be replayed for better scores; upgrades are available; the music isn't too annoying - turn if off or down; 3 levels of play, etc.! Anyway, I highly recommend this game series. Try it out and see if you agree!
I recommend this game!
Enjoy a unique mash-up of time management and bubble shooting gameplay!

Sorry to say, but I did not like this game after playing a few levels. I played for about 20 minutes, just to give it a chance - no luck! The sushi restaurant and gathering the apples and strawberries were as far as I got before just ending it all! Usually, I like most TM games; this one, no. As the others have said before me, there is nothing new in this game that I could see - serve characters, buy some upgrades, gather things to proceed. The controls for the characters seemed sluggish, especially getting things on the prep table and then back to the customers. I also did not like the idea that the game did not seem to want to let you redo any of the levels, that I could see. The sluggish helper was more hindrance than help. I found that the bubble popping/shooting levels were cumbersome with the crazy way you had to aim at the bubbles! I do not recommend this game for those who are experienced TM gamers.
I don't recommend this game.

It's really a treat to find a TM game that has great graphics and playable levels that do not require clicking like a maniac! I bought this game after playing for about half an hour, indicating that I do not know the end game but am convinced that the game is worth the price (one token!#. The game is typical - upgrade what's/who's in the shop and the shop, earn money to move to the next level, get rewarded with trophies ... all the nice touches of a well-developed game. Even though the opening screen indicates that the game might be slow on Windows 8, I did not find it to be so. I like the way that you handle the customers, through mini-selections on thought bubbles - reminds me of Sally's Studios games. Oh yes, one of the nicest features is that you can actually get expert levels easily; I like that! Get the game and start making your customers #and yourself) happy!
I recommend this game!

Great game with cute storyline! Some of the things that you get to do are hire people and hone their skills, get them to sell products and motivate each other. As far as the business end of things goes, researching products to sell and increase your profits goes along with your goal - you're running your own business and want to be successful and get rid of your current boss. Complicated? Not at all! It's a bit of a different TM game and a welcome change for me. A great part of the game is that you don't need to click like crazy to get things done. Even though there is a timer on the level, it's not a high stress game and is enjoyable enough to be played over and over. I heartily recommend the game!

Very simply: You get to find the typical objects in the house's different areas and then sell them through a "yard sale" round to earn money. The graphics are great and the objects are big enough that you don't have to squint to find them - a big plus for those of us who wear glasses. I bought the game after the demo ran out and then finished it within a very short time - bummer! If you want a game that's good to pass away an afternoon, then give this one a whirl - you'll probably like it and want to play it again.
I recommend this game!

Finished my trial and then had to buy the game! It's another restaurant challenge with a cute storyline, but the strategy is manageable and the mouse clicking is not all that speedy (at least as far as I got)! You can get trophies, replay levels, buy upgrades, and keep score. If you are looking for a TM game that doesn't drive you crazy, then give this one a chance! It's been a long time since BF released something other than a HO game; you'll be surprised by this one!

This is my first "free to play" game, and, I must say, it's a good one! I like the way that your "health" points regenerate after some hours and that you get a bonus for each day that you play consecutively. The game is a good combination of hidden objects, strategy, and use of items. There are quests to be accomplished, collections of items found in the locations to gather, items to use for regeneration of health points, medallions to help you out with various effects - timed - on money or health during the game, trophies awarded for various accomplishments, and many other good things about the game. Most of the game is intuitive, which makes it all the more interesting! The only downside? Only one profile can play at a time. I haven't completed the game, but I am hoping that you can start over after finishing the game. Try the game out - you won't be disappointed!
I recommend this game!

Nothing new to report on the game, except to say that I was SO pleased to finally find a TM game that can be won with all the awards given out! I love TM games but get frustrated with not being able to get all the trophies! Give this game a whirl; you won't be sorry!

What else can be said that is new after 50+ reviews? I think that anyone would be entertained playing this game. There is more strategy than I expected on some of the levels so that the upgrades help you get the level done. I like the fact that you have both tasks and scores on many levels that you can complete. The mini games are a bit annoying for me since I do not like to have to click like a maniac to get through a level! All, in all, it's a great game; I think you'll like it!!
I recommend this game!
