Midnight Brew is a cosy time management game set in a potion shop that only opens at night. Friendly monsters, such as vampires, werewolves, ghosts and goblins, walk in and ask for potions. Each potion has a recipe: tap the ingredients in the order shown, let the cauldron bubble, and tap it again when the marker is in the green sweet spot to bottle a perfect potion. Serve customers before they lose patience and earn coins and tips. Reach the coin goal to finish the night, then spend your coins in the shop on a third cauldron, an auto-stirrer, a bat helper, a potion shelf and a lucky charm. New recipes arrive as the days go by, and the nights get busier.
How to play Midnight Brew
- Each customer shows a speech bubble with the potion they want and the ingredients in order.
- Tap the ingredients at the bottom in that order to add them to a cauldron. A wrong ingredient makes the brew fizzle, so tap the cauldron to clear it.
- When the recipe is complete the cauldron starts to boil. A marker sweeps across the bar. Tap the cauldron when it is inside the green zone.
- The finished potion goes to the customer who ordered it. Faster service means bigger tips.
- Earn the coin goal before the night ends. Spend your coins in the shop to upgrade.
Tips and strategy
- Start the potion for the customer who is running out of patience first. The patience bar turns red when they are about to leave.
- With two or more cauldrons, start the next brew while another is boiling, but keep an eye on the marker.
- A perfect bottle pays more than a good one, and a burnt potion pays the least.
- The potion shelf keeps spare potions. Customers who arrive wanting one are served at once.
- The auto-stirrer makes the green zone wider, which helps a lot on busy nights.
