Café World is a multiplayer restaurant simulation social network game created by Zynga and launched in September 2009. It quickly became the fastest growing social game ever reaching 8 million users in 7 days [1] and peaked at over 10 million daily active users which made it Zynga's third largest game [2] after FarmVille and CityVille. Available on Facebook, players strive to become a master chef and build a food empire by completing catering orders.
In celebration of the one-year anniversary, players were challenged to complete a “One Year Anniversary Party” order with five new cookbook recipes. Players who successfully completed the order were entered for a chance to win a trip for two to New York City.[3]
Following the Japan Earthquake in March 2011, Zynga re-released several Japanese-themed decorations to Café World in order to benefit Japan's Save the Children Earthquake Emergency Fund.[4]
To celebrate the two-year anniversary, players were challenged to complete a goal series to prepare a feast for British Royals. Players who successfully completed the goal series were entered for a chance to win a trip to Britain.[5]
Currently, the game attracts approximately 2.6 million monthly active users.[6] It is a freemium game, meaning there is no cost to play, but players have the option of purchasing premium content.
