GENERAL TIPS

• After some months of experience in the chocolatier business you can scroll over ingredients to learn their price range. Always look for cheap ingredients when you visit any market, because the cheaper you buy the ingredients, the larger becomes the profit you earn when you sell products.
• Twice in the game you will get offers to purchase new inventions. The first one is the remote telegraph, which costs 100,000 $ and enables you to change what your factories are producing, no matter where you are. Purchase this invention as soon as possible, because you can react much faster to orders or unexpected events. The only condition to change production is that the product you choose must have been produced in this factory before. The second invention is the corporate airplane, which shortens travelling time to one week, no matter how long the distance is and the costs of travelling are reduced to zero. For the airplane you have to pay 500,000 $ and you should not purchase it if you don’t have more than at least 1,500,000 $. It is still useful but not as important as the Remote Telegraph.
• Make use of the Secret Test Kitchen as soon as possible, since your own creations become important very quickly and are part of a lot of quests.
• Accept and fulfill as many orders and favors as possible. They are all more profitable than if you just ordinary sell your products at shops and are regularly part of the storyline. Moreover, some orders provide access to secret ports or new cities.
• The six factories are situated in Zurich, Capetown, Tokyo, San Francisco, Toronto and Wellington. Each factory is only equipped for either chocolate bars, coffee, infusions, truffles, coffee blends or exotics. Of course you can upgrade any factory to produce more sorts of products, but it is not necessary. It is expensive to upgrade and you should produce each sort of product anyway.
• Take into account that some stores only purchase coffee, like Zachariah’s in Tangiers.
• The first of your two major tasks is it to get the endorsement of the Board members. One aspect to get these endorsements, besides earning money and knowing a specific number of recipes, is to take ownership of shops. The first three shops that you will own by doing favors to their possessors are those in Tangiers, in Kona and in Havana. The favors for their owners are always rather expensive, since you have to deliver cases of very exclusive recipes for them without getting paid. This means that you should save a lot of money in advance to be able to handle these favors. Later on in the game you might also take the ownership of the shops in Douala and Baghdad.
• The ownership of shops provides you with special orders which are highly profitable. You should accept those orders as often as possible, but those orders have a time limit, so you should concentrate on the fulfillment.
• The creation of new recipes in your Secret Test Kitchen is a key aspect of the game. It is important to know in advance that your final task to become "Master Chocolatier" is to deliver 200 cases of each of your own creations to Evangeline Baumeister. This means that you have two possibilities: either you can create very expensive and exclusive recipes which will provide you with high profits during the game. Or you can create very simple products with cheap ingredients which are available at a lot of markets.The first possibility is more interesting and creative, but you will need a lot of money to fulfill the last task. The latter possibility is less exciting and you probably wont produce your own creations regularly, but it will ease your final order.
• It is a good idea to produce every recipe immediately after you have received it, because in this way the remote telegraph will be even more helpful.

CITIES – BUILDINGS AND PEOPLE

• Be aware of the fact that some people never change the locations, whereas others can be found on various places throughout the world. Important people like the Board members or certain retailers can always be found at the same places. If an order involves a person who is travelling all over the world you are generally informed where he or she can be currently found.
