Hot Pot Ateliar

Welcome to Hot Pot Ateliar, a cozy English-language hot-pot service game about timing, attention, and the joy of a bubbling broth.

GAMEPLAY

Food appears as illustrated bubbles inside the round hot pot. Watch the broth, then tap the food you want to scoop. The goal is not match-three elimination: you are serving ingredients into three round collection plates at the bottom of the screen.

Each plate asks for one ingredient. A plate is cleared after you scoop three matching pieces into it. Clear all three plates before the service timer reaches zero to complete the table.

WHAT YOU CAN SCOOP

The Hot Pot set includes familiar ingredients such as beef rolls, lamb rolls, shrimp, crab sticks, meatballs, greens, mushrooms, tofu, fish, dumplings, eggs, lotus root, corn, noodles, and taro.

Settings also let you switch the visual collection to Fruit Basket, Animal Friends, or City Vehicles. The rules stay the same while the artwork, names, colors, and background atmosphere change.

SPECIAL BUBBLES

• Golden Scoop: A matching golden bubble gives +75 bonus points.
• Simmer Time: A matching blue bubble adds five seconds to the service timer.
• FEVER MODE: Scoop five correct ingredients in a row to activate FEVER MODE ×2 and double scoop points until you miss.

HINTS AND STRATEGY

Each service starts with three hints. A hint highlights a needed bubble or summons a normal copy of the next ingredient you need. Wrong ingredients are not useful: they reset your combo and reduce your score, so read the plates before you scoop.

GAME MODES

• Campaign: Progress through eight curated tables, each with its own setting, ingredient mix, target score, and challenge.
• Quick Simmer: Play a fast service whenever you want.
• Daily Special: Try a changing daily table and build a daily streak.

COLLECTION AND RECORDS

Completed services add ingredients to The Pantry. The Pantry records prepared ingredients and special moments such as Golden Scoops, Simmer Time bonuses, and FEVER activations.

ACCESSIBILITY AND COMFORT

Settings include background music, click sounds, haptics, reduced motion, ingredient artwork themes, and background themes. The game uses original bundled music and sound effects rather than system sound effects.

PLAYING WELL

1. Check all three plates before touching the pot.
2. Prioritize an ingredient that is close to clearing a plate.
3. Use a hint when a needed bubble is difficult to spot.
4. Protect your combo by avoiding ingredients that no plate needs.
5. Save special bubbles for moments when their matching ingredient is still active.
