What’s It About?

Players tap on a multitude of option bubbles floating around the screen in order to serve customers, make food, hire extra employees, buy more tables, and make other upgrades to their cafe. Each round of play is one business day, during which players must try to earn as much money as possible and keep customers from getting mad and walking out. \"Special Guests\" who are specific Hello Kitty characters pop up from time to time. After closing for the day, players get a daily report and more upgrade options.

HELLO KITTY CAFE! is as sweet and cute as Hello Kitty is known to be, and this app can be fun for kids who enjoy restaurant or time-management simulation games. Once players get used to the fast-paced gameplay, keeping customers happy and preparing food as quickly as possible can be a fun challenge. However, for many kids, the multiple options and hectic nature of the game could be confusing and frustrating. And because the pace ramps up so quickly, many kids might be tempted to buy in-app purchases just to make gameplay more successful.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
