### *Chocolatier 2: Secret Ingredients*

Travel the world to discover the secret ingredients you need to grow your chocolate empire! Create unique confections recipes and foster a new spirit of innovation as you travel the world and play to become a Master Chocolatier!

In **Story Mode** you will meet friends (and perhaps make a few enemies) as you complete adventures, collect recipes, discover new ports, develop new recipes, and help restore the reputation of the once great Baumeister Confections.

Choose **Free Play Mode** to set your own goals, play at your own pace, and explore the world unlocked through your Story Mode achievements.

### The World Map

The map shows an overview of your chocolate empire. Map icons provide all kinds of valuable information:

* Green pins mark ports you have visited. A red "X" marks your current location.
* Flashing pins designate newly opened ports. You may even discover secret locations that didn't previously appear on the map!
* Steam rises from operational factories; stalled factories appear red.
* As you grow your business, you may also acquire shops and a tasting laboratory.

Roll over a port icon for info on cost and length of travel.

### Ports of Call

In every port there are buildings, monuments, parks, and other public spaces full of interesting people.

Buildings you can explore will highlight briefly when you enter a port or roll over them. Click on a building or location to visit - you never know who you might meet!

New ports will become available as you complete tasks, build your business, and reach higher ranks in Story Mode. Be sure to re-visit ports frequently, as new buildings may appear over time. Keep an ear open for rumors of secret locations that may hold the secret ingredients you will need to succeed.

### Markets and Farms

Vendors in markets and farms hawk the ingredients you need for your business. Purchases are transported automatically to the factories where they are needed.

Some markets carry exclusive ingredients, and you'll have to buy varietal cacaos directly from the farmers.

To purchase ingredients, click on a sack and enter the quantity you desire into the cash register. When you are ready, click the "Buy" button to complete your purchase.

Pay attention to seasons as well as tips to get the best possible prices on ingredients.

If you don't like the prices you see, haggling with the market owner may get you a lower price... but it may also make them angry, so be careful what you say!

### Chocolate Shops

Turn your products into cash at chocolate shops around the world. Vary the products you sell to keep prices up, and for higher profits consider investing in shops of your own.

To sell products, click on a chocolate and enter the quantity to sell into the cash register. When you are ready, click the "Sell" button to complete the transaction. As a shortcut, click "Sell All" to sell every product in your inventory at once.

Haggling with the shop keeper may get you a better offer for your products... or it may not!

### Factories

Your factories manufacture the chocolates you must sell to grow your business.

* Click "Change Recipe" to choose which chocolate to manufacture.
* Click "Make Chocolates!" to set the rate of production at the factory and also to make one batch of chocolates.

The factory will continue to make chocolates each and every week as long as you have the proper ingredients on hand. The "Factory Status" tab on your ledger will help you keep on top of production status.

### Making Chocolates

Use the mouse to aim and fire ingredients into the trays. Fill the tray with ingredients to match the recipe shown, and make as many chocolates as you can in sixty seconds.

* The chocolate-making machines turn any full trays into finished chocolates as they go past.
* Ingredients that hit a tray snap into the correct slot, and ingredients that miss will be recycled. Miss 8 times and production will be halted.
* After you click "Make Chocolates!" you have one minute to make chocolates and must see it through to the end.
* Once configured, the factory will continue making chocolates every week as long as you have enough ingredients on hand.
* Ingredients with colored rings can give you a big production boost. Fill a tray with ingredients of the same color to get an instant bonus.

### People

You will meet all kinds of people as you travel the world. Some are friendly, others can be mean, but anyone may play a role in your chocolate-making career.

Take the time to stop and chat. People you meet may offer to trade for new recipes, play games of chance, or share useful information. In Story Mode folks may also ask for help or lead you to discover new ingredients, new recipes and new ideas.

Characters may behave differently when they're angry. Sometimes just making a purchase or a sale will help. Sometimes you may have a chance to offer a gift. And as always, time heals all wounds.

### The Ledger

The Ledger at the bottom of the screen puts the vital statistics of your chocolate empire at your fingertips.

* The Messages tab shows a running history of key events as well as reminders for the future.
* The Inventory tab displays all of the ingredients and finished products you have on hand.
* The Factory Status tab shows the status of your chocolate factories, including estimates based on current inventory levels and production rates.
* The badge shows your current bank balance, rank, game date and score, as well as your collection of medals and trophies.

### The Recipe Book

The Recipe Book displays all of your recipes, organized by type of confection. Collect and discover new recipes to expand your product line!

* A white question mark indicates a recipe you have yet to collect.
* A chocolate question mark indicates an empty page that will be filled in when you develop a new recipe through your own research.
* The sparkle indicates newly acquired recipes.
* Golden highlights accent each recipe that you have manufactured.

Browse your recipes by product type using the tabs on the left of the recipe book, then select a chocolate to review its recipe.

Collect recipes from other people or enlist the staff of the Chocolate Tasting Laboratory to help discover marketable recipes that use secret ingredients.

### The Chocolate Tasting Laboratory

Bring secret ingredients to the Laboratory, where the staff will help you determine the perfect combinations to tempt your customers' palettes.

Whenever you visit the lab, the staff will grab 1 sack of any ingredient they haven't seen before. These ingredients are then always available for your experiments.

Teddy will let you know if it looks like you've got any marketable possibilities of each product type.

Select ingredients from the jars on the shelves to fill the tasting tray. When you're ready, click "Taste It".

On his clipboard, the laboratory chief will provide feedback from your experiments, with a red X indicating the ingredients that don't seem to belong. Replace them and try again.
