    "series_note": "The provider's own game page states verbatim: 'Chicken Route Rococo by Turbo Games — the ornate edition of the Chicken series: cross the road, cash out before the crash.' The catalogue holds at least two more 'Chicken Route' entries. This title is the rococo/baroque-themed edition of that shared road-crossing engine.",
    "theme": "A rococo (18th-century French aristocratic) parody: a hen dressed as a powdered-wig noblewoman tries to cross a cobblestone road lined with rose gardens to collect a growing prize, while ornate horse-drawn carriages (steam-carriage, pumpkin coach, floral coach, royal coach, hay cart) threaten to run her over. Visual vocabulary is baroque/rococo palace-garden: gilded fences, cream stone paving, manicured white rose hedges, gold filigree, pastel coach liveries.",
    "art_style": "Flat 2D vector cartoon illustration with thick clean outlines and flat cel-shaded fills (no photorealism, no complex gradients beyond simple soft shading on rounded volumes). Bright, even daylight lighting with no dramatic shadows. Top-down/orthographic view of a horizontal road (the player looks straight down the lanes, characters and carriages are drawn from behind/above). Character design is chibi-cute and comedic (oversized head, tiny body, exaggerated round eyes) contrasted with ornate rococo costuming and gold ornamentation — a cheerful, family-friendly casual-mobile-game look, not dark or cinematic.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired) from 17 desktop screenshots (1280x800) with vision analysis and zoomed crops; cross-checked against the manifest's DOM/rules-text extraction and balance-change measurements (per documentation/playbooks/turbo.md).",
    "method_notes": "All numeric claims below were read directly from in-game text (rules booklet pages, Limits panel, on-field ladder labels) or confirmed by balance-delta measurements documented in manifest.json (bet_limits_verified, payout_basis, max_multiplier). Nothing was inferred from memory of similar games. Items not directly legible/captured are listed in 'unreadable_or_uncertain'.",

    "gilded_fence_markers": "Behind the hen and along completed steps, small cream-and-gold ornate picket/baluster fence segments with round gold finials mark distance already crossed.",
    "step_markers": "Each road step is a circular bronze/pewter medallion ('manhole' disc) with a raised rim of rivets, an engraved cross-hatch/fleur-de-lis pattern band, and the multiplier printed in bold white text with a dark outline (e.g. 'x1.28').",
    "current_position_tag": "The step the hen currently stands on is marked by a small blue rounded-rectangle tag beneath her feet with the current multiplier in white bold text (e.g. 'x1.03', 'x4', 'x24').",
    "final_tier_marker": "The last reachable step of a ladder is a bright gold medallion embossed with a golden egg icon (the automatic Grand Prize marker), rather than a plain bronze disc.",
    "carriages": "Multiple distinct horse-drawn carriage designs act as hazards/decorations along the lanes, each pulled by two cream-white horses seen from behind: a plain brown wooden hay cart with a mound of straw; a pastel pink floral carriage with gold trim and pink heart-shaped side windows; a red steam-carriage with a dark grey coiled chimney/bell fixture and gold wheel spokes; an orange pumpkin-shaped carriage (Cinderella-style) with a pale blue window and green leaf/stem cap; a green ivy-wrapped floral carriage; a royal blue carriage topped with a gold crown, pink curtained interior and gold-striped horse leg wraps.",

    "notification_badge": "A dark semi-transparent rounded rectangle beneath the balance, showing a random player's circular grey avatar icon, a username in white, and their net round result in bright green with a '+' sign (e.g. '+$287.1') — this is a shared bets ticker for the whole provider, not the current player's own result.",

Difficulty tabs (EASY / MEDIUM / HARD / MAD) stacked vertically at the far left, selected tab in bold white on a slightly lighter brown pill, unselected tabs in dim grey. Center: 'Bet Amount' dark rounded panel with white value and two brown circular '−' / '+' buttons. Right: a large green 'START' button (idle) or, once a round is active, a split pair — amber/gold 'CASH OUT $X' button (left) and green 'GO!' button (right).",

Headings in white, body text in light grey, section-select buttons on the rules page are black pill buttons outlined in white/silver with white bold labels (selected) or plain white text (unselected). The settings/menu overlay uses red accent icons and red slider tracks against black.",

She wears a tall curly brown powdered-wig-style hairdo (rococo aristocrat hairstyle) and a red-and-white Victorian/rococo gown: a white underskirt with gold trim at the hem, a red overdress with a bow and a pearl/gem brooch at the waist, and fur-spotted (ermine-style) cuffs on the sleeves. In her raised right wing she holds a single golden egg.",
