Signal 01 / Objective
The flow of a tea-party round
A tea-party preparation activity that moves from simple recipes to arranging the finished table.
A practical first-session plan
Treat the first recipe as a tour of the work surface. Complete one highlighted action, wait for its animation to settle, and then scan the table again. Keeping that rhythm makes it easier to distinguish an unfinished cooking step from the later decorating choices.
Signal 02 / Controls & how to play
The first detail to check on the table
Check which ingredient or decoration is highlighted and let its animation finish before choosing again.
Input to expect
Select and drag ingredients, utensils, and decorations with a pointer or one finger.
Signal 03 / First-session plan, quick tip & recovery
A single fix when the table stalls
If progress stops, scan the work surface for an unfinished mixing, pouring, or placement cue.
Diagnose a stalled run
A stalled scene usually means that an ingredient has not been poured, mixed, heated, or placed in the requested order. Recheck the active bowl and the edges of the work area before repeatedly dragging the newest item.
Signal 04 / FAQ
Before the first pour: two quick questions
How should the first recipe be approached?
Treat the opening recipe as a tour of the work surface: finish one highlighted action, let its animation settle, then scan the table again before picking the next item.
The scene stops advancing mid-round, what do I check?
Find the mixing, pouring, or placement cue that never finished. Recheck the active bowl and the edges of the work area before dragging the newest item again.
