How To Use The Cook House

*To cook a meal you must first have all the ingredients. Then you drag the number of veggies you need to the frying pan. For example, the Light Breakfast needs 3 eggs and one bean. Drag the eggs to your pan 3 times and the bean once. The COOK sign will pop up and you will need to click on it. It should take a few seconds but then a pop up should tell you that all of your unwatered crops are watered. Each meal needs different items and have different effects.

*I've also seen a few posts where they didn't know how to get a certain item....


Milk......Cows

Eggs.....chickens
Mutton Chops....Sheep
Bison Steak.......Buffalo
Pork Chops......Pig

Question..."I cooked the things to get crops to grow in one hour and my crops did not change. Does anyone know if I need to do something after I cooked?"


Answer....Normally growing crops makes them look all big and pretty. But if you use the cook house to speed things up, your crops will not look "grown". But if you hover over them, it will say you can harvest them. The way they look does not affect your harvest.


*You can cook each meal once every 24 hours. The clock starts when you cook a meal. Example...You cook the Light Breakfast at 10 am....You cant cook that meal again until 10 am the next day.


*Before you accept a neighbors help on your crops, make sure you don't need those crops for a quest. You MUST harvest crops needed for a quest yourself. If you let a neighbor harvest or water them for you then it will not count. If you are not on any quests, then feel free to let your neighbors do the work for you as you will receive the same things.



I use the cook house every day so feel free to ask any questions I haven't covered here. Or if you have any tips you would like to share that I haven't figured out yet, feel free.


* I jus saw another question.


When it says "All crops grow by one hour" it means that one hour has been deducted from your growth time. If your cooking carrots or any thing under them, then they will be grown instantly. But if your growing lets say wheat that takes 4 hours, then it will only take 3 hours instead of 4.


NOTE: When you cook a meal it is an active effect and not an item. That means that the action is carried out instantly. It does not create an item for later use.
 

EA Has a Monopoly on This Week’s List of Fastest-Growing Facebook Games by MAU

The largest increase in monthly active users this week among social games came from EA’s Monopoly Millionaires. The title takes the iconic competitive board game and turns it into a social experience that works well with the Facebook platform. According to AppData, our metrics service that monitors and ranks the leading social games and applications on Facebook, Monopoly Millionaires gained 952,225 MAU — a 118% percent over their previous all-time high. EA currently has two big games in Pet Society and Restaurant City, but two of its latest titles — My Empire and Pirates Ahoy — have fallen substantially since peaking last year.
Ravenwood Fair is number 3 in this week’s list of fastest growing Facebook games by MAU, as it gained over 600,000 players in the last week. The game is LOLapps’ only full social game, and boasts more players than the rest of its 200+ social applications combined. It is important to note that though the game is attracting players at a rapid pace, only 10-11% of its MAU are playing each day. At some point, this pace will slow as Ravenwood Fair will bleed players faster than it can acquire them.

Wild West Town is a new game by Clipwire Games that launched at the end of February. It should feel familiar to anyone who has been watching the social game space closely, as it resembles Zynga’s FrontierVille in both gameplay mechanics and Wild West theme. Each player has their own plot of land that has to be tended to, including clearing debris, planting crops, and building structures. A combination of a quest system and friendly fictional characters guide the player into a fairly linear process of building up their homestead. Wild West Town is a very polished game that doesn’t necessarily bring anything new to social game design, but surely something is working as it has shot up to 1.1 million MAU in a few short weeks.
Zuma Blitz is the Facebook version of another popular PopCap puzzle game. Following in the footsteps of Bejeweled Blitz, the objective of Zuma Blitz is to get the highest score possible within a one minute time frame. Long chains of multicolored pieces gradually move towards the center of the game where a frog awaits to consume them. Shooting like-colored puzzle pieces cause them all to disappear and gain points, so players have to quickly match colors and multipliers to get the high score. Zuma Blitz has leaderboards to encourage competition between friends, and the high level of polish that PopCap is known for. Zuma Blitz has been on a gradual decline the last several weeks but started to grow again at the end of February.
