Delicious 16 – Moms vs Dads Guide

• 60 basic levels
• 30 challenge levels

• Side objectives earn 0 points; completing them as part of normal play is not necessary for 3 stars

• In level 23, in easy mode, the side objective is to “Treat Paige’s mosquito bites”. More often than not, this can’t be completed because there are not 5 requests from Paige. I tried not including her in a queue, and specifically selecting the bubble above her head. Finally, I attended to no-one prior to her making the 5^th request, and just waited. This was the only way that I was successful. It seems to have something to do with the child requesting a crossbow at the wrong time.

• • And The Winner is…: Unlock all the product upgrades across every chapter (127)

There are 127 menu items in the game: 62 basic + 65 upgrades.

The probability of getting a specific menu item depends on the difficulty mode. For example, in room 3 (Camp Talon), the odds of a customer ordering an egg are much better in expert mode than beginner mode, but the odds of a customer ordering a badge are much better in beginner mode than expert mode.

To learn which difficulty mode is best for each menu item, see the Menu Upgrades section for each room.

• Comparing the 3 difficulty modes (easy, normal, hard), I found the following:
  • Target scores are the same regardless of difficulty
  • Number of customers served is the same
  • Number of menu items served is the same
  • Total tips received per level is generally the same
  • Menu items requested are different; hard mode tends towards the harder menu items
  • Customer patience levels are different: easy mode gets more time per heart than normal mode; normal mode gets more than hard
  • More time is allocated to play levels in easy mode than normal/hard mode and customers arrive at a slower pace; normal and hard modes are the same. For example, you have 7 minutes 27 seconds to play level 10 in easy mode; 5 minutes 47 seconds in normal/hard modes. In levels 10 and 20, you get 29% more time; in levels 30, 40, 50, and 60, you get 48% more time.
