Backyard Monsters (FB Game)

Let's start this with my own little story. One of a none special day, I am playing the phenomenal game on Facebook which is the CityVille my friend pm me something and he said "ei, try this new game of mine called Backyard Monster's it's cool" that time I wasn't that exited to play this but then I'd give it a try. Days have passed I found it really cool and interesting until I did reached the point to be an addict on it. Enough with the story I'm gonna give you a summary on this game.




Backyard Monsters, from Casual Collective, is the social game for gamers who usually hate social games. Mixing real-time strategy gaming with offbeat visual cuteness, it plays like a slow motion version of Starcraft crossed with a Pixar movie, and while most of the biggest social games have recently hit a growth plateau, Backyard Monsters has been growing quickly since July. It now boasts nearly 900K monthly active users, and CEO Will Harbin told me it should reach a million monthlies in a couple weeks. Given current trends, Harbin believes Monsters could ultimately grow to 15-20 million monthly actives; even more impressive, Harbin says the game is already cash flow positive. So its success is proof positive a relatively complex “gamer’s game” can work on a social network, and offers a bunch of interesting takeaways for developers and gamers alike:

Developed by Casual Collective’s David Scott and Paul Preece, who also created the fiendishly viral Flash game Desktop Tower Defense a few years ago, Backyard Monsters is a resource management strategy game where you build a miniature fortress of defensive towers, walls, and monster-making factories in your backyard, while defending and attacking neighbors. (You launch assaults by flinging your monsters from a catapult.) As Harbin tells it, the company was driven to make a social game that they themselves would like to play:

“We’re all gamers here,” he told me, “and we’ve been kind of disappointed at the quality of [social] games launched… FarmVille doesn’t appeal to someone like me. ” The game went live this April, and has been growing slowly but steadily through viral recommendations; the company started Facebook ad buys in July, strongly increasing that growth. (Half the game’s users now come from paid acquisition.) And while Casual Collective was targeting males aged 20-40, they’ve been surprised to find their RTS relatively popular with women, too: 30% of the active userbase is female, Harbin tells me.

Another surprise: Harbin estimates that 20% of their players don’t attack others, preferring to spend all their time building. “They just want to build a big pretty base,” as he puts it. (Backyard Monsters’ Facebook fanpageregularly features screenshots of bases the proud owners have turned into amazing garden sculptures of all shapes and variety.) Rather than force these happy builders into combat, the developers are tweaking the game to make it possible for them to keep tinkering in peace. And unlike most social games, Backyard Monsters encourages players to interact with others outside their social graph, such as visiting strangers’ bases, or sending a neighborly assault wave. Harbin says 90% of their players do just that.

As a result of all this enthusiastic player engagement, Harbin reports the game’s monetization rate is above industry averages (though he declines to give specific numbers.) The most popular virtual item purchase are Speedups, which decrease the time to build/upgrade resources. However, Harbin says it’s important that more casual players don’t feel overly pressured to monetize: “There’s a lot of competition out there… so you still have to offer a good free-to-play experience.” Since the company’s happy with Backyard Monsters’ monetization, Harbin says they’re focused on scaling the game, and adding more elements to keep existing players engaged. In the next few weeks, look for more damage and upgrade visuals, leaderboards, and an alliance/guild system.

Backyard Monsters’ success points to a market that’s been ignored by social game developers obsessed with acquisition and marketing, in a largely futile chase after FarmVille numbers. “Everyone else is fighting for the same piece of the pie,” as Will Harbin puts it, “and a lot of gamers have been abandoned by this latest social gaming craze, including me.” To win them over, his advice is refreshingly old school: “Just make a fun game that you would like to play.”

A Night With Alcohol

It's been a long time that I have stayed at home without doing anything just sitting, playing games and just doing barely nothing. My cousin Charmaine decided to hang out tonight, I've thought that this gonna be a great chance for me to hang out and to see my old friends again and even my enemies. 

We've arrive in Jansar Resto bar an undisputed bar in our place at exactly 8pm, for us its just too early to begin to drink because usually we drink at exaclty past 9 or up to 11pm to start drinking in the said resto. The friend of my cousin is already there waiting outside the bar, she's waiting there for a while for us and we owe her an apology. Together we go upstairs to drink because the two entertainer gays started to do their part to make the costumers happy as always. Our table is on the 2nd table after the huge speakers, unfortunately the music there is too loud for us to hear. We've always wanted a better table that night but the long night had past, 8 songs have sang and the customer parallel to us decide to go home, we have accommodated their sits 'til the last hour. Its about 10pm I've saw my old friends arriving but before that I'd gotten my ass on the stage singing one of my favorite songs "Fall For You" by Secondhand Serenade the crowd was astonished and they cant barely shout. The hosts didn't bother to interview me at all for I knew them already, usually they make fun with the customers whose gonna be singing on stage.

In the disco time where it's already 12 in the midnight my two cousins Charmaine and Aina together with they're friend Jesa Garcia decided to dance on the dance floor, I'm left alone at our table, I've called my former classmate Don to accompany me for awhile and we have a short conversation and he left immediately to go back to his table, that time I'm left alone watching my cousins dancing at the stage with a couple of guys together with 'em, it doesn't matter they're happy anyway. I felt so uncomfortable for it's been a long time I didn't drink. We have decided to go home as early as 1:30am, usually before we got our asses go back home at 3-4am together, but that's just a history, I cant sustain drinking with long hours anymore, my body has given up to say yes always with alcohol, it's a good thing anyway.

Generally, it's a  fun night with common friends and people I knew, I didn't have any regrets at all for it was a happy night indeed! I cant say that I'm gonna go back again with that addicting place, all I can say is I'm happy in that very moment of my life, it's a  long tiring night I have to sleep, but my mind  says I should not supposed to, I'm gonna share my story to you guys. This is all I can say, have a wonderful early morning and have a nice day ahead, good morning to you and good night for me!

Jokes

A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed.
He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.
While he's in there, the husband tells his wife: "Listen, this guy's an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck." If he wants s*x, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll k*ll us. Be strong, honey. I love you."
To which his wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you too!!"

An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam.
The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow." The next day the
85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.
The doctor asked, what happened and the man explained.
"Well, doc, it's like this--first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing."
The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor?"
The old man replied, "Yep, none of us could get the jar open."

I was in the restaurant yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately
needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my
gas with the beat of the music.

After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my coffee,
and noticed that everybody was staring at me....

Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

A few days after Christmas, a mother was working in the kitchen listening to her young son playing with his new electric train in the living room.
She heard the train stop and her son said, "All of you sons of b*tches who want off, get the hell off now, cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of b*tches who are getting on, get your asses in the train, cause we're going down the tracks."
The mother went nuts and told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language."
Two hours later, the son comes out of the bedroom and resumes playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, "All passengers who are disembarking from the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon." She hears the little boy continue, "For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today."
As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the b*tch in the kitchen."

A husband and wife were trying to set up a new password to their computer.
A husband, "Put 'MYPENIS' " and the wife fell on the ground laughing cause on screen was error, "Error. Not long enough."

Little April was not the best student in Sunday school.
Usually she slept through the class.

One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, "Tell me, April, who created the universe?"

When April didn't stir, little Johnny, a boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. "GOD ALMIGHTY!" shouted April and the teacher said, "Very good" and April fell back asleep.

A while later the teacher asked April, "Who is our Lord and Saviour," But, April didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. 'JESUS CHRIST!" shouted April and the teacher said, "very good," and April fell back to sleep.

Then the teacher asked April a third question. "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?" And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time April jumped up and shouted, "IF YOU STICK THAT F*****G THING IN ME ONE MORE TIME, I'LL BREAK IT IN HALF AND STICK IT UP YOUR ARSE!"

The Teacher fainted.  

Little Billy came home from school to see the families pet rooster dead in the front yard.
Rigor mortis had set in and it was flat on its back with its legs in the air.
When his Dad came home Billy said, "Dad our roosters dead and his legs are sticking in the air. Why are his legs sticking in the air?"
His father thinking quickly said, "Son, that's so God can reach down from the clouds and lift the rooster straight up to heaven."
"Gee Dad that's great," said little Billy.
A few days later, when Dad came home from work, Billy rushed out to meet him yelling, "Dad, Dad we almost lost Mom today!" "What do you mean?" said Dad.
"Well Dad, I got home from school early today and went up to your bedroom and there was Mom flat on her back with her legs in the air screaming, "Jesus I'm coming, I'm coming" If it hadn't of been for Uncle George holding her down we'd have lost her for sure!"

Four friends spend weeks planning the perfect desert camping and riding trip.
Two days before the group is to leave Rob's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going.
Rob's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do.
Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Rob sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and supper cooking on the fire.
"Dang man, how long you been here and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?"
"Well, I've been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said 'guess who'?"
I pulled her hands off and she was wearing a brand new see through nightie. She took my hand and took me to our bedroom. The room had two dozen candles and rose pedals all over. She had on the bed, handcuffs and ropes! She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed and I did. And then she said, "now, you can do what ever you want."
So here I am.  

Bubba was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them."
Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Bubba how about Tom Cruise?"
"Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it. " So Bubba and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts, "Bubba! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch!"
Although impressed, Bubba's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Bubba that he thinks Bubba's knowing Cruise was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Bubba says.
"President Clinton," his boss quickly retorts.
"Yes," Bubba says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington."
And off they go. At the White House, Clinton spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Bubba, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."
Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced.
After they leave the White house grounds, he expresses his doubts to Bubba, who again implores him to name anyone else.
"The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Bubba. "My folks are from Poland, and I've known the Pope a long time."
So off they fly to Rome. Bubba and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Bubba says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later Bubba emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Bubba returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Working his way to his boss' side, Bubba asks him, "What happened?"
His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, "Who's that on the balcony with Bubba?" 

A man sat down at a bar and told the bartender, "I bet you three hundred dollars that I can piss into the cup all the way over there on the other side of the bar and not miss a single drop."
The bartender said, "There is no way you can do that. Sure, I'll bet you three hundred dollars."
The man then begins to undo his pants and begins pissing. He starts pissing all over the bar, spraying on the bottles and the bartender, not making a single drop in the cup.
The bartender starts smiling and laughing and says, "That's it, you owe me three hundred dollars."
The man then gets up and walks over to the pool table and starts laughing and shaking hands with the men standing there. He walks back to bar, sits down and starts laughing at the bartender and hands him the money.
The bartender asks, "Why are you laughing? You just lost the bet."
The man said, "I'm laughing because I bet those guys over there one thousand dollars that I could piss all over you and your bar and you would still be laughing when I was done."

Approximately during the ministry of Jesus Christ on earth (over 2000 years ago), the native people of Ifugao began carving the terraces of the mountains using merely their bare hands and sticks from the trees in the forests. The terraces were carved mainly to provide an area of land suitable for planting rice which is the staple food of most Filipinos whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, rice is always served and eaten with the main dish. The rainforests above the mountains act as a natural irrigation system used to water the rice plants. The terraces are 7 hours of travel by car (50 miles) from Baguio city, the summer capital of the Philippines. Travelling from Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, it would take a total of 12 hours to reach the terraces, a distance of about 205 miles.

Top 20 Most Engaging Facebook Application

1. Slots – 52.02%

You may have not played Slots on Facebook before but around 70,000 people have played and a whopping 52.02 percent of those users return every single day. There are two other games in the leaderboard which are part of this application’s “network”. You can play “Scratch and Win” (3rd most engaging application) and “Pull Tabs” (10th most engaging application), and use the tokens that you’ve won from those applications to bet on slots.

While it may not be the most popular application on Facebook, the developers behind this game are most definitely generating some decent cash flow through repeat users. Also, given that incentive based advertising is the most profitable thing on Facebook, owning a leading gambling application is not a bad position to be in.

2. Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones – 48.9%

It’s not surprising to find a Facebook owned application in this leaderboard considering that 50 percent of active Facebook users return to the site daily. If you have a BlackBerry, there’s a good chance that you’ve already installed this application. Out of the 3.5 million users that have installed the application, 1.7 million are using it daily.

While it’s not surprising to see a Facebook owned application rank so highly, it is somewhat surprising that Blackberry users are the most active mobile Facebook users so far. If you have a Blackberry and read this blog, you probably have already installed the Facebook for Blackberry application. If you haven’t, I seriously suggest you check it out.

3. Scratch and Win – 47.62%

Proving that gambling is a popular activity on Facebook, Scratch and Win comes in 3rd with 64,888 out of 136,000 monthly active users returning daily. Scratch applications have been around the Facebook platform since early on. Backstage, the company behind this application, is sitting on a pretty nice suite of gambling applications. When ranking applications for profitability, I would rank this company up near the top.

Despite having less than half a million monthly active users, a very large portion of their users are returning daily, and that is one of the most important factors when monitizing applications. If you are in to lottery tickets, go check out the Scratch and Win application.

4. Digsby – 47.3%

Digsby is an extremely popular desktop instant messaging client and was one of the first, if not the first application to integrate Facebook chat. Unlike Meebo, who had their instant messaging support shut down, Digsby has remained functional since their launch. There is one problem with the application that I experienced which was that you would be kicked off of the web version of Facebook as soon as you logged into Digsby.

Regardless, out of the approximately 80,000 users that have taken advantage of the Facebook/Digsby integration, over 32,000 are logging in daily, oftentimes more.

5. Wordscraper – 42.1%

When the Agarwalla brothers had Scrabulous shut down, it was one of the most buzzed about news stories among technology news sources. Today, the brothers still hold some of the most engaging applications on the Facebook platform including Wordscraper which ranks above both official Scrabble applications. It was a swift shift from Scrabulous to Wordscraper, and the brothers made enough changes to avoid a future law suit.

Now the brothers have the top ranking word games on the platform and they aren’t complaining. While the law suits brought much unnecessary attention to the brothers, the buzz helped attract attention to their new games. While they may have been temporarily knocked down, the brothers are truly masters at developing word games.

6. Facebook Toolbar for Firefox – 40.53%

It’s not surprising to see Facebook applications rank among the most engaging applications on Facebook. Perhaps it’s not even fair to include this in the list as desktop applications tend to receive a higher level of engagement. If you haven’t tried out the Facebook toolbar for Firefox, I suggest trying it out. It lets you know about new pokes, friend requests, messages, event invitations, and group invitations.

Then again if you have a ton of unopened messages and requests like I do, it may become a bit annoying to have the toolbar. If you are obsessive about cleaning out your requests though, this toolbar will come in handy.

7. Super Scratch Offs – 39.9%

Yes, another scratch off application. It appears that Facebook users are really in to gambling, or at least competing for reward points. This is the second most engaging scratch off game on Facebook and currently it has just under 140,000 monthly active users. Around 55,000 users return daily to see if they’ve won their daily scratch ticket. Clearly the developers of the scratch off games are laughing all the way to the bank as these users don’t seem to go away.

So you may be wondering what you can win by playing Super Scratch Offs. Virtual gifts! Yes, you heard that right. Users are returning every day to play Super Scratch Offs for the chance to purchase virtual gifts. It’s almost like a Chucky Cheese’s model or Dave and Busters, except in this game you can’t win any real candy.

8. Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures – 39.86%

I bet you didn’t realize that there were some uber geeks on Facebook. Hasbro got creative on Facebook and their subsidiary Wizards of the Coast, launched the a Facebook version of Dungeons and Dragons. The game reminds me of the old choose your own adventure books in which your character had hit points and various other variables which determined the outcome of battles along the way.

These adventures have around 6 steps which is why the application is called “Tiny Adventures”. It’s a traditional fantasy game similar in some ways to Mob Wars and other strategy games on Facebook. This application is ultimately a big advertisement for Dungeons & Dragons but almost 30,000 users keep coming back every day.

9. Egg Breaker – 39.85%

Egg Breaker is a game which continues to rise in popularity. Essentially it’s a new twist on the scratch off games. You click on eggs to break them and you can win gold, pieces of a star, virtual gifts, and points. Each day you are given a limited number of hammers to go and crack eggs in the game. Some eggs are harder to crack then others. You can also progress to new levels but I wasn’t completely clear about what triggered access to new levels.

Once you run out of hammers you can either wait a day or proceed to purchase more hammers with real money, gold that you’ve won in the game, by installing applications, or completing offers. So what can you buy with all of the gold that you won aside from new hammers? Virtual gifts of course!

10. Pull Tabs – 39.6%

By now you should be able to guess what type of game Pull Tabs is. It’s another lottery game but instead of scratching a ticket, you can pull off tabs on a ticket! Just like the other lottery games, you get to spend your winnings on virtual gifts. You can also send pull tab cards as gifts to other friends. One of the biggest incentives for playing the game is to get more credits to purchase pull tab tickets with higher payouts.

Many of the pull tab tickets are branded, including one which is branded for the movie iRobot. The application is well developed and it’s not surprising that this is one of the more popular “gambling” applications on Facebook.

11. Facebook for Palm – 39.1%

I don’t really need to elaborate on this one. First of all I should add that Palm sucks If you are one of the few Palm enthusiasts though and you read this blog, there’s a good chance that you are one of the 115,000 people that have used this application in the past month. It appears that no matter what mobile device you prefer, Facebook tends to be one of the most popular applications. That’s not surprising considering that there are over 4 million daily Facebook mobile user.

As we highlighted last night, mobile is probably the fastest growing area (percentage wise) for Facebook despite the addition of over 450,000 new Facebook users each day. Anyways, if you are a Palm user, go check out the Facebook for Palm application.

12. Super Slot Machines – 38.8%

Are you serious, another gambling application? Yes, and we aren’t done with them yet. If you are the type of person to scratch off tickets then maybe you’ll enjoy playing slots. Just like all the other gambling games, the premise is the same. You play for tokens that you can in turn exchange for virtual gifts. Thankfully you don’t actually lose your tokens though.

You spend your credits for a chance to win more prize tokens. When I played the game I was one of the day’s big winners and I felt extremely proud about that fact. I walked away with a whopping 303 prize tokens after my first attempt. So if pull tickets are your type of game, go check out the Super Slot Machines application.

13. Slot Machine Bandit – 38.7%

I swear this is the last gambling application! There’s really not much to say about this one. It’s pretty much the same thing as Super Slot Machines except the design isn’t as nice. There also doesn’t appear to be any fun sound effects which was a little disappointing. Also disappointing was that I didn’t win as much money as I did in Super Slot Machines.

If the developers of this application boost the odds a bit, I would guess more users would come back to play on a regular basis. Then again, the streaming notifications about other users winning the jackpot keeps you pulling on the slot machine handle. I won’t be coming back to this application but that’s not stopping over 26,000 people from returning to Slot Machin Bandit daily.

14. Parking Wars – 36.7%

A&E Network must be happy that they decided to launch the Parking Wars application to promote the Parking Wars television show. While I don’t remember the television show, I definitely remember when this game was released over one year ago! More then one year later, the application attracts close to 110,000 people daily.

It’s an impressive feat which is hard to duplicate. It’s rare that branded Facebook applications succeed as much as this one. Thanks to the right timing and a good development team, Parking Wars remains to be one of the most engaging Facebook applications.

15. SCRABBLE Beta – 34.6%

While the Agarwalla brothers still have the most engaging word game on Facebook, Electronic Arts has done a good job with their Hasbro licensed version of SCRABBLE. The application has almost 200,000 users returning to the application daily. It’s an impressive feat for any developer even if it’s one of the largest gaming companies in the world that developed it.

The application has been in “Beta” for months now so I’m not sure if the company ever plans on changing that. Scrabble is clearly a popular game and Facebook has proved to be a great platform for creating turn-based games like Scrabble. If “Wordscraper” wasn’t good enough for you, you can check out Scrabble Beta if you are in the U.S. or Canada.

16. Pet Society – 34.34%

Playfish is currently the second largest application developer on Facebook based on daily active users and their game Pet Society is the largest application based on daily active users. As I previously wrote, social games tend to be the most engaging applications on Facebook and Playfish is dominating this space with Zynga.

Pet Society is essentially a much more robust version of (fluff) Friends which let you create a pet and care for it. The application includes games for you to play with your pet inside of a large virtual world. As you travel around you can win gold that can be used to buy items to decorate your house. There is honestly more stuff to do in the game then I had time to check out but it’s not surprising that this game is the most visited game on Facebook.

The game continues to grow by leaps and bounds, currently attracting over 2.3 million daily active users. If you haven’t played Pet Society yet, I recommend checking it out.

17. MouseHunt – 34.32%

Mouse Hunt has been a huge success. Since the launch, the application has continue to surge in popularity. The developers of MouseHunt were also winners of the FB Fund. MouseHunt is a highly addictive strategy game in which you try to catch as many mice as possible, all of which have highly detailed designs. The game currently attracts over 107,000 daily active users and continues to grow week after week.

With cash in the bank and a continuously growing application, my guess is that the developers of MouseHunt have a bright future ahead of them.

18. SCRABBLE® Worldwide – 34.30%

There isn’t much I need to say about this one. Scrabble Worldwide is a duplicate of the SCRABBLE Beta application except it’s licensed for users outside of the U.S. and Canada. Determining which version of Scrabble you’d like to play is pretty much based on your location and whether or not you want to play the “official” version or the version licensed by the Agarwalla brothers.

If you are outside the U.S. and Canada and prefer playing officially licensed games, check out Scrabble Worldwide.

19. My Fairyland – 33.5%

Taking inspiration from the Grow-a-Gift application, My Fairyland is an application that lets you create your own garden to grow flowers and fairies. You can also help out your friends by watering their gardens as well. This application is nowhere near as robust as some of the applications we’ve looked at but around 68,000 people continue to return to this application daily ranking it in our list of the most engaging Facebook applications.

If you are into flowers and fairies, then I suggest checking out this application!

20. Facebook for iPhone – 33.2%

Last on our top 20 most engaging Facebook applications is Facebook for iPhone. This one has clearly been a hit. It’s also somewhat surprising to see that the Blackberry users use their mobile Facebook application more often then iPhone users. Despite the surprise, the Facebook for iPhone application is one of the most popular iPhone applications ever with over 5.2 million users and it continues to grow daily.

If you have an iPhone then there’s a good chance you’ve already downloaded this application. If not, you should definitely download it!

The tale plays with logic in ways that have given the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children.It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literally nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential, especially in the fantasy genre.                                                                                         Top 1 - Toy Story 3

Even the 1st and 2nd spot reaches to over billion bucks, the 1st spot has more than thousands of it with $1,063,161,943, justified and hands down.

Andy decides to take Woody with him to college and intends to store the other toys in the attic. By accident, Andy's mom throws the other toys away, making them think they are no longer wanted; they escape and decide to climb in a box to be donated to the Sunnyside Daycare. Woody, the only toy who saw what really happened, is forced to follow the others and tries to explain they were thrown out by mistake, but they refuse to listen. Andy's toys are welcomed by the numerous toys at Sunnyside, and given a tour of the seemingly perfect play-setting by Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear(a.k.a. Lotso), Big Baby and Ken, whom Barbie falls for. All of the toys are quickly enamored with their new home, leaving steadfast Woody alone to attempt to return to Andy. However, Woody is picked up outside the school by the imaginative toddler Bonnie. She takes him home and plays with him along with her other toys, who are well treated, happy, and readily welcome Woody. Woody is elated until he hears about Lotso from Chuckles the sad clown. Lotso, along with Big Baby and Chuckles, were once accidentally lost by their original owner, Daisy. The three found their way back to Daisy's home, but Lotso saw that he had been replaced. Though Chuckles realized the truth, Lotso, embittered, convinced Big Baby that they were replaced, and took over Sunnyside, making it like a prison. Worried for his friends, Woody hurries back to the daycare and finds that they have been put on task to be played with the rambunctious youngest toddlers. They are also kept under guard at night by Buzz whom Lotso has reverted to demonstration mode, restoring his original "Space Ranger" persona and allying with him.
