  1. [R3] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · US It’s okay…: The gameplay is fun, but only TWO options is so LAME! It’s just a mobile children’s game, there is no need to have everything cost money. Please add a few more free options because the game gets real boring real quick!
  2. [R6] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · US Read before downloading 👍✅: I just wish that all of the food was free but it’s pretty fun otherwise and it has no ads at all. Sometimes it’s boring though because you just do the same thing every time but different ingredients, it’s a great game for little kids
  3. [R11] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 5/5 · US I put five stars so you guys can see it bad: Don’t download if you don’t want to waste your time it only gives you 2 recipes and the rest you have to pay
  4. [R14] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 4/5 · US A really good game! Just one thing: This is a great game you can make food, customize it, and even the lunch box! The one thing is there’s not a lot of options of food to make. I would love it if we could get new free food as a gift in the presents, that would make the game 5 stars. But overall this is a great game!💗
  5. [R12] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · US Cute but Slow: I wish this was made more complex ,it’s more of a mixed age group which can be a good thing I suppose you can get to play both with your kids and for just the kids to play but it’s missing the adult component to make it really enjoyable for the higher age group
  6. [R18] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · GB Good but: This game is good and I enjoy playing it the only thing is I can only make cupcakes or a sandwich to make anything else I need to play £12 so after a while it gets boring making the same things but good for younger kids below 9
  7. [R4] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 1/5 · US Can not get anything else: Can this game just be free?
  8. [R7] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 1/5 · US Why: It should be free for kids
  9. [R9] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · US No tan bueno: Es un juego muy bonito pero hay que pagar por todo
  10. [R13] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 1/5 · US sucks dont get if your broke: 13 dollars a month just to make food in a CHILDRENS game?! You people must be out of your mind! Sure I get it you want to get paid but if I had a kid, pretty sure they would click the food that cost 13 DOLLARS unaware that they can’t make it. Honestly, if you want to make good kid games dont make it cost 13 dollars a month
  11. [R10] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 1/5 · US No just no: I deleted the game and redownloaded it and I lost everything even though I re-downloaded it two seconds after I deleted it because it wasn’t working then I lost everything
  12. [R23] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 5/5 · US I know it’s 2026..: This is actually the best app I ever played. I played this back then, but I just started thinking about it and just replay it. I don’t really have my old stuff in the game because I deleted it. But I actually love this app. Please make more hello Kitty stuff. It’s OK if not.!
  13. [R5] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 5/5 · US This is a great game!: This is a great game, you will DIE if you don’t get this, NO MONEY, ADD FREE, EDUCATIONAL FOR KIDS! Buy one for FREE!
  14. [R22] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 1/5 · GB THIS IS A GREEDY GAME: Listen, why are there only 2 free recipes that we can make? That’s very unfair in my opinion. We have to waste £7 just to unlock everything for just a month. Kids would beg their parents for unlock everything in this fricking game, then father a month, it goes, then the child cries because the parent wouldn’t buy another one. It’s not just in this game, it’s also in other Bu
  15. [R27] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · GB Hello kitty is laughing too much: So hello Kitty is laughing whenever I make something and I’m so happy that there’s no ads and like when I do something in the process of making the food when I’m done with it she laughs and I really love the drink that drink that has the strawberry the bowl the little strawberries at the bottom like it has a lot of strawberries and there’s and every food I make sh
  16. [R44] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 5/5 · US Hello Kitty lunchbox: So fun to play it’s cool for kids. I’m literally a 10 year-old and I love this game. The first time that I got it. I already liked it so I’m obsessed with this game. You should download it.
