Mafia Spirit has located the server image for the ChefVille cross promo that we expect to invade Mafia Wars this coming week sometime. The ChefVille cross promotion will be called ‘Taste The Triumph’.
You will be leveling up to get a Ruby level Confectioner.
We still don’t know how many levels you will need to advance in ChefVille to get the Ruby level Confectioner.
I would expect this cross promo to resemble ‘The Ville'’s’ cross promotion that had us trying to reach level 12. We may need to level up more than 12 times. We won’t know for certain until the cross promo is released.
The AppData.com stats for ChefVille may soon rival The Ville’s stats. These cross promos are a clever way of driving the numbers up for Zynga’s games.
The problem for Zynga is the inability to retain the players once they have them. As you can see in the graph (above) for The Ville’s DAU the number of active daily players of The Ville are already on a slow decline since the peak of the games Daily Active Users on July 27th, 2012. I’d expect ChefVille to follow suit.
