Thanks for putting this writeup together! I played a similar game on my iphone and I was really wondering if there was something more social and “fun” that I was missing. Nope!

It’s really true that social networks are still waiting for their killer app!

I enjoyed this decon especially because it gave me a little window to peer through since I’ve never played a Facebook game.

Another question could be, are people even playing the game because something is fun about it? Or, are they playing it because it’s just something to do? Obviously, a lot of people who play these games wouldn’t consider themselves gamers. Is this their gateway drug?

For some reason because these games are so different from what we know, it’s really hard to figure out their appeal. I wonder why that is.
