Zynga, which makes very popular Facebook "social games" such as Farmville and Mafia Wars, has released the details of Adventure World, an ambitious and potentially more absorbent type of social game. Adventure World is a Jones Jones style strategy game where players search for historical artifacts and unite them to get virtual gold and experience points.
The game is far bigger and more complex than anything Zynga has built before, and asks players to strategize about not only what to do in the game itself but also the Facebook friends invited to participate in the trip.

During his earnings call, Zynga Chief Executive Frank Gibeau noted that the subscription would be a "very feasible business model" for the company in the long run and in the near future that it might be suitable for some games.

"When it comes to Zynga we try to put our customers first," Kim said. "We want to make sure we test it properly before we launch it because once we do it, we can't just return it." "Word With Friends" is one of five "franchises forever" Zynga, or a game franchise that companies believe has a shelf life long ago, fostered the kind of games that drive everyday games and generate more than $ 100 million per year in income. Other enduring franchises are "CSR Racing," Empires & Puzzles, "" Join the Dragon !, "and" Zynga Poker. "
