As with the previous Cooking Mama games, you do get a sentence or two talking you through what you need to do in the mini-game, but it's often not really necessary that your child fully understands it, as the mini-games are generally rather self-explanatory, with some that your child will likely familiar with, like pairs, or arrows that show you exactly what to do if not.

While the fact you have to wonder around a maze and find the mini-games for yourself might confuse kids used to the immediate mini-game-ness of the other Cooking Mama games, it actually seems to make it into more of an actual game, as now there's exploring to do. While Cooking Mama World: Outdoor Adventures mixes this up a bit by adding maze-like levels you can wonder round, searching for treasure, avoiding stray animals, and working out the best way to get to Mama or Papa at the end, the mini-games are still present and correct - just this time they're themed more around camping than around cooking.

Generally, the Cooking Mama series of games go down rather well with younger children, particularly girls, because of their simple to understand, touch-screen controlled mini-games - and this should be no different.
