Cafe World is one of the most popular facebook games out today, with around 30 million users. It was released in early October 2009. Since then, it has really taken off. The company behind Cafe World (Zynga) may not be the most ethical company in the world. However, they are obviously very good at making their games viral. Zynga has been extremely successful – some of their other games (such as Petville and Farmville) also have millions of players and are growing each day. That is because Zynga makes all their games encourage users to invite their friends and get more players. One interesting thing is that the game lets you get your friends over to play the game, and you can compare your progress with each other. There is the option of visiting cafe’s next to you also. And in addition, they encourage you to post updates of where you are in the game on your facebook wall, so your friends will see that you are playing the game.
Cafe World is in fact very similar to another game called Restaurant City (made by a different developer), and both games are doing very well. Many of Zynga’s games have been similar to already existing games that were doing well – Zynga just makes them better, does a lot more marketing, and soon gets to be the dominant market player. Right now, Cafe World is (by far) the most popular restaurant management game that facebook has. In it, you still do the usual things like cook meals, design your restaurant, attract customers, hire staff and so on. It is virtually impossible for any new facebook game to get more popular than Cafe World, regardless of how good the game is or how many more features there are. The other thing is that it is very unlikely (almost impossible) for games with huge followings like Farmville, Petville and Cafe World to ever drop a lot of players, because new people are playing all the time.
By now you are most likely looking for a tutorial that teaches people how to play Cafe World properly. In order to learn the game well you will need to pick up a Cafe World guide. Right now, the most popular guide out there is ‘Cafe World Domination’ and I would strongly recommend getting that if you want to become better. I believe there are also a few other products designed to help you with the game.
If picking up a Cafe World walkthrough does not appeal to you, then you can just play the game without any assistance and learn on your own. But be warned: this is probably going to result in a lot of frustration. The other option is to play dirty and download cheats and hacks for the game, although I would not recommend this because it often leads to problems. So in conclusion, my best advice is to get a guide or walkthrough, and follow that instead of trying to cheat.
