My Cafe

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that My Cafe is a time management game for iOS and Android devices. The game involves a number of elements, ranging from taking, assembling, and serving orders to following a storyline through conversation with characters. But while some elements of the story and business are left vague, the app also offers fairly thorough directions to guide kids. These include helpful hints such as written recaps of recent developments and the ability to click on the name of an item someone orders to see a visual depiction of the components it involves so you can put it together. Kids will see how a business is built, from welcoming the first customer to expanding the menu with new equipment and other purchases. They'll need to make decisions as they play and may experience funding shortages at times, which require patience but add a money management aspect to the game. There's no inappropriate content to be found during play, although gamers can watch ads for rewards and bonus items.
