Kitchen Scramble App: Cloverville

Cloverville is a town that has lots of very green grass. A winding road curves through it. There are several stops along the way. There are gigantic foods scattered around.

Cloverville is one of the “extra” towns in Kitchen Scramble. Players can choose to skip it, or can take on the challenge of completing it. This town appears to be focusing on Saint Patrick’s Day.

Chef Crisp tells the player about Cloverville.

Chef Crisp: Play Cloverville for a limited time only! Earn special rewards, such as star tokens, and power ups or boosts, by passing each Good Luck Gate. If you pass the final gate, you’ll earn exciting powerups and boosters!

Chef Crisp tells the player that time is running out in Cloverville.

Chef Crisp: Time is running out……..Once Cloverville expires, you can no longer earn the rewards.

For whatever reason, Kitchen Scramble sometimes has really strange “typos” appear in the text that shows what a character is saying.

Chef Crisp alerts the player that Cloverville requires Lucky coins.

Chef Crisp: Cloverville requires Lucky coins, not Supplies, to play each level.

Chef Crisp says friends can give you Lucky Coins as a gift.

Chef Crisp: Friends can give you Lucky coins as a gift, or you can purchase Lucky coins from the store. Your Lucky coins supply will also replenish itself, but not as quickly as your Supplies do.

The “Friends” Chef Crisp is referencing are people who are on Facebook. I chose to leave Facebook a long time ago, and have no interest in returning to it. Kitchen Scramble will attempt to bribe players with Kitchen Cash if they choose to connect their Facebook account to the game. Really icky!

Chef Crisp tells the player that when Clovervile expires, the Lucky Coins will be gone.

Chef Crisp: Once Cloverville expires, your Lucky coins will be gone, so try to use it all up.

Cloverville starts off with all of the levels locked. There are two Token Gates that the player must pass through.

This is what Cloverville looks like at the start. All of the levels (except for the first one) are locked. A player can unlock them by playing through each one and earning at least one star. There are two Token Gates that only accept the kind of Tokens that players can earn in Cloverville.

Chef Crisp welcomes Pepper to Cloverville. Behind them are some very large foods (that the player can make in Cloverville).

Chef Crisp: Welcome to Cloverville! It’s said you will never run out of luck here.

Pepper tells Chef Crisp that she feels lucky already.

Pepper: This place is wonderful, I feel lucky already.

Chef Crisp hopes Pepper has "something special" - referring to the food Pepper serves.

Chef Crisp: Hope you have something special for this festive day.

Pepper assures Chef Crisp that she won't be disappointed - by the food.

Pepper: Of course! You won’t be disappointed.

Chef Crisp: Well, good luck then!

Pepper is inside her food truck, making an awkward face. The food truck changes decor for every town. In Cloverville, the food truck decor includes several shades of green, decorative shamrocks, a green striped awning and a green counter. On the floor is a green top hat with a black band and gold buckle.

Pepper is standing inside her food truck in Cloverville. She is making an awkward face because I only had a few seconds to take that screenshot before the first level started.

The inside of the food truck is decorated with various shades of green, and some clover decorations. The awning outside has dark green and light green stripes. The counter is a solid dark green. On the floor is a green top hat with a black band and gold buckle.

More appliances appear in upcoming levels of the game. This screenshots shows what you start with.

New recipes for Level 1 are:

Mint Ice Cream

Mint Chocolate Shake

Avocado Toast

Creamy Avocado Soup

Avocado Dip

I was hoping that Cloverville, which certainly appears to be focused on celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, would include recipes of Irish food. I wanted to see corned beef and cabbage, colcannon, Irish soda bread, and perhaps a dark drink that could be presumed to be a pint of Guinness.

Instead, Kitchen Scramble has Pepper serving foods that are green in color. The mint ice cream might be popular in March. The mint chocolate shake reminds me of the Shamrock Shake from McDonalds. None of these are actually Irish foods, and I found that disappointing.

Things did not improve with the recipes added to upcoming levels. Plenty of mint-flavored foods, but nothing even close to Irish food. Whoever chose these recipes clearly didn’t have any Irish relatives.

A box shows two gold stars and one empty star. Below it are some ingredients and boosters a player could use. Of to the side are images of some of the recipes for that level.

I got two stars in Level 1 of Cloverville!

New recipes for Level 2 are:

Mint Chocolate Pie

Three green colored cookies with chocolate chips inside them are sticking out of the top of a light blue bowl.

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

A box shows two gold stars and one empty star. Below it are ingredients and booster the player can use. Off to the side are images of new and previous recipes.

I got two stars on Level 2 of Cloverville!

New recipes for Level 3 are:

Min Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

The first word in its description should be “Mini”, not “Min”. The game designers didn’t have enough room to put the word “Mini” in there, so they just chopped off the last letter of “Mini” and figured people wouldn’t notice.

To me, this recipe looks like two mint flavored chocolate cookies on a plate. Go back and look at the recipe above this one that looks like a bowl full of mint-flavored ice cream. That one is called Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies. I think somebody got confused and gave those two recipes the wrong titles.

Two mints, each with a green bright green top sitting on a rectangle of chocolate, are on a white plate.

Mint Chocolate

A tall glass contains a green drink with ice in it. It is garnish with a slice of kiwi fruit. A cut open kiwi fruit sits next to the bottom of the glass.

MInt Cooler

I left the typo in this one. There are times when I feel like the creators of Kitchen Scramble either cut corners to push out Cloverville as quickly as possible – or that English is not their first language. What we have here is a drink that resembles one of those “Refreshers” from Starbucks.

To make the MInt Cooler, the player must put a mint and a lemon into a mixer. I cannot explain why the drawing of the MInt Cooler clearly shows kiwi fruit. It is not possible for the player to add a kiwi fruit to the drink – because that item does not appear in Cloverville.

Pepper is happy. She holds up to spoons. The box next to her shows three gold stars.

I got three stars in Level 3 of Cloverville.

New recipes for Level 4 are:

There are several round, chocolate coated, mint ice cream balls inside a metallic looking bowl. The ball in the center is cracked open, to show the mint ice cream inside it.

Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Ball

Chocolate Sauce

A box shows two gold stars and one empty star. Below it are ingredients and boosters the player cause. Off to the side are some recipes that will appear in this level.

I got two stars on Level 4 of Cloverville!

There are no new recipes for Level 5.

Pepper stands next to a box that has two gold stars and one empty star.

I got two stars on Level 5 of Cloverville.

I have completed half of Cloverville by gathering a total of ten gold stars across the first five levels.

I was now halfway done with Cloverville.

The first Token Gate in Cloverville requires the player to have at least ten of the Cloverville Tokens. I had enough to go through this Gate.

To pass through the first Token Gate, a player must have at least ten Cloverville Tokens. I had exactly ten of them, and was able to pass through the Gate to the second half of Cloverville.

The rewards for going through the first Token gate were special items that help a player make progress in Kitchen Scramble.

Passing through a Token Gate gives players some rewards. The rewards I got were 3 Instant Dishes, 3 Golden Spatulas, and 3 items that (temporarily) upgrade all of your appliances.

Pepper is happy. She holds up two spoons. The box next to her shows three gold stars.

I got three gold stars in Level 6 of Cloverville!

Pepper stands in the middle of her food truck in Cloverville. All of the appliances have been (temporarily) upgraded from a reward I got after crossing the first Token Gate.

Pepper is standing in the middle of her Cloverville food truck. I used one of the rewards I got from passing through the first Token Gate to (temporarily) upgrade my appliances. The mixer and the pot are the only ones that I had already upgraded to gold.

At the top of that screenshot, there is a little box that requires the player to serve at least four servings of Avocado Toast. Making it is easy (by this point in the game). The problem is the game doesn’t always give you enough customers to fulfill that requirement.

Pepper stands next to a sign that shows one gold star and two empty stars.

I got one star on Level 7 of Cloverville!

Pepper holds up three spoons and looks happy. Next to her is a box with three gold stars in it.

I got three stars in Level 8 of Cloverville!

Pepper stands next to a box that shows one gold star and two empty stars.

I got one star in Level 9 of Cloverville!

Pepper stands next to a sign that shows two gold stars and one empty star. At the top of the screen, it shows she served six Mint Chocolate Pies to customers.

I got two stars on Level 10 of Cloverville!

This level required players to serve at least five servings of Mint Chocolate Pie to customers. The game made that super difficult by only allowing the player to lose three customers (total). If I remember correctly, it took me more than one attempt to succeed in Level 10.

I ended up with ten stars in the second half of Cloverville. That was exactly enough for me to pass through the second Token Gate.

I earned a total of ten stars in the second half of Cloverville. It was exactly how many Tokens I needed in order to pass through the second Token Gate.

The second Token Gate in Cloverville required the player to have ten Tokens. I had exactly that amount and could pass through the Gate.

The second Token Gate in Cloverville also required the player to have ten Tokens. I earned a total of ten Tokens across the five levels in the second half of Cloverville, and was able to pass through the gate.

Rewards for passing the second Token Gate include: five heart blasts, five fire extinguishers, and five hourglasses that give the player extra time to play

The rewards for passing through the second Token Gate in Cloverville included: 5 Heart Blasts (which can be used to make grumpy customers happier), 5 Fire Extinguishers (which prevent food from burning), and 5 hourglasses (which give players more time to play).

A screenshot of Cloverville after I completed it. Each level shows one, two, or three gold stars. Each Token Gate has been opened.

This is what Cloverville looked like after I had finished it. Each level has either one, two, or three stars. Each Token Gate has been opened. It took me a while before I could sort out how to make all of the recipes that are specific to this Kitchen Scramble town. Overall, I feel like Cloverville was a bit easier to complete than Loveville was.
