Show a recipe card with undiscovered parts hidden, and reveal a little more on request

A recipe book that shows everything has nothing left to discover, and one that shows nothing is just frustrating. The middle way is a card where known parts are named and unknown ones are question marks, with a hint button that gives a little more each time. The catch is that the question marks must not give the answer away by themselves.

Why this works

Discovery is the fun, so a card should tease without spoiling. Giving away a little at a time lets the player decide how much of the surprise they will trade for help. Marking unknown parts by position, not by name, keeps each hint from leaking more than it says.

When not to use it

Do not hide recipes in a game about planning ahead, where the player needs the full list to shop and prepare. Hiding it there is only friction. Show it in full and keep the mystery for the dishes' results instead.
