Posh Boutique 2: Another Chain of
Luxurious Boutiques, another Opportunity to Have Great Fun with a Superb Time
Management Game!

Puzzle Lab announces the release of
Posh Boutique 2, a sequel of a great time management hit. Alicia successfully
developed her own chain of posh boutiques and went on a vacation. Hardly had the
plane landed, when she found out, that she had won a lottery prize of
$1,000,000! Full of enthusiasm, she cancelled her vacation and decided to start
another chain of boutiques in a new area. The gameplay is basically the same as
in the first Posh Boutique, but there are also some new features, making the
process of running the boutique business even more fascinating. VIP mini-games
will entertain you after a busy day devoted to time management.

Acting as Alicia, you serve
customers who come to your store to buy something. You take them to fitting
rooms, to the sunglasses rack or to other accessories, depending on what they
would like to purchase. To deliver excellent customer service, follow the icons
above each customer’s head – they display the desired item. Once you have taken
the customer to the right place, you should choose the right item from the
assortment of goods. Unlike the first Posh Boutique, Posh Boutique 2 features
several ways of selection: skimming, picking one of nine items and picking an
item from the conveyor belt. Finally the customer should be taken to the
check-out counter to pay for his purchases.

For each day there is a goal to earn
a certain amount of money. Later on you can spend it on hiring an assistant or
on upgrading equipment in order to serve the customers faster and to make them
more patient. By the way, the patience level of each customer is also displayed
above the heads in the form of smileys. The more content a customer is when
leaving the boutique, the more money you earn! So do not make them wait for too
long, otherwise the customers can lose their patience and leave without paying.
Apart from upgrades, you can also spend money on store window design to attract
more customers.

Of course, there are various types
of customers, and you should pay special attention to those marked as VIP. But
there also two new types: journalists and couples. Couples are simply served
together, but journalists are a bit troublesome. You should make efforts to
cater for them well, and, in addition to this, they come to the store after the
close of business. They choose goods for a boutique review and rate your store.
To get a high rating (and to increase sales!) you should find required goods
among those scattered all over the screen.

For various achievements Alicia gets
awards and keeps them in a special trophy room. It is available at any time, so
that you can enter it and see if you are successful enough! Remember that at the
end of the game the trophies will bring you some extra money.
