Community Insight:
We have played them allthis, by far, is the best. Original storyline, multiple characters, its our favorite and we think the one that is the best quality.
We love the game but there is a bug on level 15 in the second restaurant it wont let us click on the boxers.
Hi, having issues on level 15. We are supposed to interact with specific items but there are two items on the very bottom of the screen that we cannot tap on. There isnt enough room. The screen needs to be moved up. We are on iPhone 16. Older Delicious games allow the screen to be adjusted if you swipe up from the bottom of the screen (as if youre switching apps) but this one does not unfortunately.
We use to play this game when we were younger, still as great as we remember. Its very entertaining and Im never bored while playing. The story line is really interesting and makes us wanna continue playing.
We love the Emily Delicious games they are our favorite are you going to make anymore we hope you do we bought and played every single one of them.
We played every single Delicious series game. So was super excited when another game dropped and purchased this game immediately. This was 4 years ago. We realized we didnt review it back then, but we replayed it again recently. Storytelling is very creative, funny adorable characters, high quality graphics and drawing. The time management style is the same as always, but thats expected from the Delicious series. We like time management games. However, there are challenges between levels and thats what made the game harder to finish, but fun. The fact that this game has replay value says a lot about this game overall! This is one of the best of the Delicious series and if you have not played every game, this is one you should not miss.
please make emily's childhood memories & big surprise & holiday season,,on iphone too not just for ipad.
We really wish theyd kept the designs/facial looks because the future games look horrible. They look nothing like they do in this game and the Christmas carol. The ones after Christmas Carol are absolutely disgusting with what they did to them. Its a shame because we loved the delicious series but the design/the way the characters look its sad.
Any other game house games can run. Only this one is always telling us that there is no internet connection. Even three days ago it was normal. We dont know what happened. We have checked all our internet and WI-FI, and even redownload the game for three times. Still not work.we love this series of game and we really want to know what happened next in the story! Super hurried.
We are loving these games but they cost to much so we have delated the ones we have tried. Please make these available for free with ads or buy all the games in one package so we dont have to purchase each game. Well gotta find a new game to play now hope to see them offer free with ads soon.
This game is good but every time we try to play a level the game will not let us play it and we hate why you have to pay 10$ to get the full game for all of your games. We would rate it five it the bug did not happen and if the full game cost less. But Thanks Gamehouse for the games.
Ok we love these games and we love how the story goes along and we love the interaction between characters. There is one problem though that is stopping us from giving this amazing game 5 stars. When we first got another one of these games called Emily's miracle of life we were intrigued well we mean we love babies so but when we got to level 6 it said we had bad internet connection so like anyone else who well wanted to play a game we reload our internet and open the app again. We tried again and even deleted it and reopened it and it said the same thing. Then we got this game also very intriguing but the same problem occurred. If this is a virus please fix it because we want to be able to play this really fun game.
We have this game and have played it for a short time, once we got to one of the levels it said to check our internet connection. Our internet connection is fine we are connected but it is still saying to check our connection! We are very aggravated about it because we would of liked to know the rest of the story plz fix this bug thx.
We have LOVED every Delicious game that we played. And this game was fun too, until chapter 4. The way Patrick treated the Inuit people was so horribly racist. He even somehow convinces them to leave their homes and people for the city. Typical white person, always taking land away from the native people. It made us very mad.
The darn game keeps freezing we havent gotten past level 5 yet.
We love gamehouse games. Especially the Emily series however Ive noticed a bug with almost all the Emily games. It keeps saying we have bad internet connection when we dont? We have a full signal and we never moved from where we were just playing. Its to the point now we cant play past level 5 because it says we have no internet when we do.
Im very annoyed that this game will be connected to our data and it tells us no internet connection or we can hook up to our WiFi and get the same thing. Our other apps on our phone work just fine but this one seems to never want to work! Yes! We have turned our phone on and off, checked our data/WiFi connection, and re-downloaded the game before we are asked.
We purchased several of your games for girls. However, we did uninstall some games because they wanted to play different games. Our girls decided to play the game again but it is full of advertisements. If you close out the advertisement it will pop-up a message stating that they "you are not connected to the Internet and to check their Internet connection". Sending a false message which is (lie) because they do not want to entertain the advertisement. Again we have already paid the full purchase for this game but are being bombarded with advertisements. This game is no longer fun for our daughters.
We keep being told to check our internet connection to unlock the other levels, and because of this we cant play (even past levels). First of all- there isnt ANYTHING wrong with our internet connection. Even connected to WiFi we are being told this. FIX THIS! Second of all- why would we need an internet connection to play this game? That makes zero sense. There is NOTHING real time about this game at all. Fix your crap or Im done for good. Trust us- YOU DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
Ive been playing this game for a while and we stumbled passed the doll that was name shaniqua, thats kinda offensive since its a African American doll. So why must her name be Shaniqua because her color than a regular name. We just had to explain to our daughter that this is not what all African Americans are named, just like all Caucasian arent Beckys and all Mexicans arent Marias. Stop labeling.
We really like the mechanics of Gamehouse games, but the storyline for this one was awful. We dont know if we can complete it, along with the ancient (insert orientalist/non-white) peoples medicine, Emily is completely unlikable in the first chapter. We wish Gamehouse would take accountability along with improving storylines, something along the lines of saying, we acknowledge that our early storylines were problematic, and we apologize for the hurtful portrayal of of people of color and LGBTQ+ people. We are ensuring that that storylines that our team is pursuing now are inclusive, with rich, well-developed characters that dont only center white women and their romances while relegating BIPOCs to the margins.
We have enjoyed Emily games for years and purchased this game after playing for a while to avoid commercials. We have reloaded multiple times but continue getting commercials and the buy button is still visible. We do not see a restore button. SO irritating.
We enjoy this series of games, but the story in this one was painful to work through. The ridiculous illness the daughter had, that was supposedly cured only by some stupid flower from far away was stupid enough. Add to that a racist Inuit chief, a stupid journey that certainly did not have to be done on foot, and the preachy ending (sorry writers, but we have learned all we can about medicine from the ancient people – they have nothing to offer us now) and you have a tedious time playing this game. Apart from all of that, the last 2 sections of the game have levels that seem to be impossible to 3 star. We have played them repeatedly after buying all of the stuff in the store and still cant get them done. Have only 1 star on some. They are nowhere near getting 3 stars! Get some better writers that dont make such unbelievably stupid storylines please.
We have played delicious game before and paid. There was no problem. We really love the games. But this game Hope and fearI have paid also to play, does the advert must appear before playing each level even after we paid? The problem that we have is that, we always get internet problem for this game as our internet is perfectly fine.
We love this game and everything about it is great except for when we try to play it keeps saying no internet connection, please check your connection and our internet is fine. Even when we exit and come back it will constantly tell us we cant play because of this. Please fix this issue and we will happily change our rating to 5 stars.
We love these games we've downloaded three but sadly there's a few problems that's y we had to give it a 3 star rating #1 $9.99 seriously for 26 levels! That's a BIG problem #2 when we try to play the game it says " sorry to purchase pls check ur internet " we Internet is fine it's just these games #3 sometimes when we want to play the game like for an example we got expert level and it backed out aka went to the home screen so we had to play it again same thing happened like 1 out of 10 chances it would work what the heck! We LOVE these games but usually we can't even play them #4 why is some of the games 12+? Just bc they kiss? Or we dont know but we have an iPod 5 and the hospital games our 12+ which means we can't play them overall we love these games but it's hard to play them -not bc of the difficulty- bc it keeps backing out on all of our 3 games! We have this one we're writing the review on then we have Emily's true love which happens to be our fave but we can't play it! We want to find out what she does is Paris but we CANT. Then we have the honeymoon one but plssssss fix these we're begging you!!!!! Make them compatible with the iPod 5!!!! Pls? Even though this review will be over looked we thought we wld put it out there – Your #1 fan.
The game will load and be larger than our phone screen. It will not resize to fit our screen but only show a portion of it.
For some reason we havent been able to play any of the Delicious games since we bought our IPhone XS. We have a membership with Gamehouse and we havent been able to play any game at all, especially the older ones. Can you advise us what to do? If not we will be forced to cancel our membership.
What gives? We paid $9.99 for this app and we are forced to watch ads between levels? Its so frustrating!! How can we permanently turn off the ads? Why are you putting ads on games that are paid for up front.
We love the Gamehouse Time management games, but PLEASE make the expert levels harder. The expert levels on Maggie's film festival are perfectly difficult.
We paid for the game and its not letting us pay can you return our $9.99 please.
We absolutely love all of the delicious games, and this one is our third favorite. (our first and second are home sweet home and Emily's new beginning.) These games are always so great, and we love the characters. Delicious rules.
Todos los juegos Delicious son excelentes. Los felicito. Gracias Feliz 2018.
We LOVE THIS GAME, and we paid ten dollars to unlock all the levels and we started playing them. We came back on it a few weeks later and it says we need to pay to unlock them. This game is a total waste of money.
It's great very appropriate for pree teens and adults we Lve it! If your thinking about getting it you should! Hope this was helpful.
We really like it but the levels are kind of a lot of money can you pretty please make some of the other games not 12plus because Im only 10 please respond thanks.
They only make the first few levels free! We don't want to pay the money! We LOVE Delicious Emily but they NEED to make the other levels free!!! If they did we would give this 5 stars! Please do it.
It's fun and addicting but when we get to chapter 2 we have to pay. Then our aunt got the same thing but for free! What a waste of money and time.
This game is very fun but we don't like how you have to pay for more levels but it's great.
Story line is interesting. We enjoy how many levels there are and all the little challenges. Lots of fun.
We know these games are little pricey but we love playing them. This one is so fun,.
We love this game to pieces!!!! We've played all of Emily's games they are the best and are very time consuming!!! Love it love it love it!!!!! Keep them coming.
Love Delicious Emily for not scamming people into spending HUNDREDS on in-app purchases! We've bought EACH & EVERY delicious game for our iPhone and for our pc, because when you own a device as capable of PREDATORY behavior like an app that ENCOURAGES impulse buying or an Xbox One console (side note: DONT EVER BUY AN XBOX IF YOU FANCY FAIRNESS AND BEING TOLD THE TRUTH) then having the option for f simply buying a complete lets game is a TRUE GIFT. Thx makers of delicious apps!!! Plz keep giving us more.
Keep it up, GH, love everything about your time management games.
Just love it can't wait to see what's next for Emily and her family.
This game was exactly what we were hoping for. The storyline was dramatic but not overdone and the levels were difficult but not impossible. We have played is through once on normal and again on expert and we are sure we will be playing it through many more times. Excellent game.
OMG we have tried to find a game this easy to control and here it is.
We LOVE these games and have bought several, however we feel that if you pay $10 for these games you should be allowed to play on more than one device. It doesn't seem to make a difference if it's iPhone or iPad etc you still pay the same price. We don't mind the price, we just don't like the fact that you can't play it on any of your other devices. If you're going to charge such a price then please get with every other developer and make this where you can pick it up on all your devices! The game is really fun, just not $20 or more fun.
We love every single one of these games. Gamehouse is our go to for a good time management game.
We like these type of games it fun and amazing like lol for real.
