Heads up
Parent Pro-Tip
Encourage your child to enjoy the puzzle-solving aspects and the creative fun of building their café. Discuss the in-game currency ('Golden Acorns') and how it can be used to bypass challenges, emphasizing that it's okay to take breaks and that progress doesn't always require spending money. Set clear boundaries for screen time and any potential in-app purchases.

Representation?How diverse the game's characters are in gender and ethnicity. Higher = more authentic representation. Display only — does not affect time recommendation.
Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.— N/A — no named characters
Characters are Pokémon, so the Bechdel test is not applicable.
