About Delicious - Emily's Message in a Bottle

Delicious – Emily’s Message in a Bottle continues the award‑winning cooking‑story series, placing Emily in Italian kitchens as she searches for a lost family secret. The narrative follows her father Edward and his five brothers, who have been apart for years, while Emily works toward a big family dinner.

The game offers 65 story levels and 30 challenge levels across various Italian restaurants, letting players prepare over 200 dishes, collect diamonds, and uncover hidden‑object mice. Progress can unlock real messages tied to trophies, adding a collectible layer to the time‑management gameplay.

01 / THE GUIDE

Family Reunion Narrative

Emily discovers that her missing grandfather Vitto may be alive in Italy, prompting her father Edward to seek out his five estranged brothers. The story drives each kitchen visit, using cooking as the means to bring the scattered Napoli family together.

The plot unfolds within the 13th season of the series, focusing on the emotional challenge of reuniting the brothers for a single dinner. Each level therefore carries personal stakes that extend beyond the basic cooking tasks.

  • Watch dialogue cues for hints about which family member is featured in a level.
  • Notice how the kitchen’s décor reflects the associated character’s personality.

02 / THE GUIDE

Level Structure and Types

The game contains 65 story levels set in different Italian restaurants, each presenting a time‑management cooking scenario. Players must serve dishes while following the narrative flow of the family reunion.

In addition, 30 challenge levels offer additional scenarios beyond the 65 story levels. Both level types share the core mechanic of serving food in time-management gameplay.

  • Use story levels to learn kitchen layouts before tackling challenge levels.
  • Observe recurring ingredient stations to improve speed.

Cooking Variety and Dish Count

Players can prepare more than 200 distinct dishes, ranging from classic pastas to elaborate desserts. Each dish requires specific timing, encouraging mastery of a broad menu.

The large dish pool ensures later levels feel fresh, as new recipes appear alongside familiar favorites, keeping the cooking experience varied throughout the season.

  • Track frequently appearing dishes to prioritize memorization.
  • Compare similar recipes to spot subtle timing differences.

04 / THE GUIDE

Collectibles: Diamonds and Messages

Players can collect diamonds while serving dishes, providing a secondary objective linked to Emily’s family quest. Diamond collection supports Emily’s quest to reunite her family.

Winning trophies unlocks real messages, adding a narrative reward for high performance as you dash through lovely locations.

  • Aim for trophy thresholds to reveal hidden messages early.
  • Balance diamond collection with timely dish delivery for better scores.

05 / THE GUIDE

Hidden Object Elements

Each kitchen hides small objects, such as mice, that players can search for while managing orders. Finding all hidden items adds an extra layer of exploration beyond cooking.

These hidden‑object elements are optional, rewarding attentive players who look beyond immediate service demands.

  • Pause briefly after each order to scan for hidden items.
  • Look for patterns in mouse locations across similar kitchens.
