Cafe World Fall Feast Event: Everything you need to know

I have some bad news chefs. Whether you're into multitasking in Cafe World or not, there's no denying that the Cook-A-Thon event of 100 goals is something to behold. Sure, some power users may have already completed that entire event, but I'd take a pretty confident guess that most of you aren't even close (which is fine, by the way, as I'm not either). Adding another meal, if you will, to our already full plates, Zynga has launched the Fall / Thanksgiving themed event in the game, surrounding a Festive Table and a collectible item called Fall Invites.

So far, only a set of five goals - given by Amelia - is available to complete in the game (complete guide coming soon), and in the first goal, you'll be asked to build this Festive Table in your Cafe. The Festive Table's base is free, and it requires the following:

    8 Gravy Boats
    7 Linen Napkins
    8 Serving Platters
    9 Fall Centerpieces


The Gravy Boats and Serving Platters are earned through general news items posted on your wall, while the Linen Napkins and Fall Centerpieces are earned through individual requests sent out to friends.

Throughout this entire event, you'll have a chance to complete two goal series along with two Catering Orders. You'll be able to unlock eight dishes and two stoves along the way, and collect invites for finishing these activities that will give you chances to win Cafe Cash. In addition, you'll collect Traditional Recipe Cards throughout this event, with each friend that responds being given a spot at your Festive Table in your own game. It's like you're asking your friends over for Thanksgiving dinner, but with just as much work as in the real world!
For the Traditional Recipe Cards, you can only ask the same friend to send another once every 48 hours, but once they respond to a single request (regardless of how long it takes, or how many individual requests you've sent them), they will not be able to send you anymore cards. One friend equals one card, I'm sad to say.

We'll make sure to bring you detailed looks at the event's goals and catering orders just as soon as things start to launch in full in the game. In the meantime, this event has already been given a 19 day time limit, so don't delay!

What do you think of this Fall Feast Event in Cafe World? Are you going to abandon your progress in the Cook-A-Thon event to start these Thanksgiving-themed activities, or will you try to complete everything at once?

FarmVille Harvest Bonfire Thanksgiving Basket: Everything you need to know

If you've been busy working on your Harvest Hoedown barn in FarmVille, and have more Scraps of Lumber than you know what to do with, then it's time to do a dance, farmers, as you now have somewhere to put them! That's right, another collection event has launched in the game, this time themed for Thanksgiving. The Harvest Bonfire Thanksgiving Basket (or just Harvest Bonfire, for short), will be given to you for free just as soon as this update rolls around to your farm.

As usual, you'll need to collect various Thanksgiving-themed goodies (called "Supplies"), including those Scraps of Lumber, in order to fill your Harvest Bonfire to the brim, unlocking more items for your farm. There are six items to "win" in all; here's the lowdown:

    5 Supplies - Corn Maze Fence
    15 Supplies - Railroad Tie Bench
    35 Supplies - Iron Fire Pit
    75 Supplies - Bare Tree Decoration
    100 Supplies - Banjo Duck
    170 Supplies - Flannel Cow


As usual, you'll have a variety of different ways to earn these Supplies, the easiest of which is to simply ask your friends to send them to you. You can also claim bonuses from friends' wall posts as they gather Supplies themselves, or can purchase them outright for Farm Cash. Again, you'll also want to make sure you collect from your Harvest Hoedown on a daily basis, as you'll earn Supplies there as well.

Ultimately, this feature is like most other collection events in the game, but if you enjoy collecting exclusive or even just holiday/seasonally themed items in FarmVille, this is your chance at six of those items (seven, if you count the Flannel Calf that could come from the cow) for your farms. Why not take a shot at collecting all six? After all, it is free!

What do you think of the prizes in the Harvest Bonfire collection event? Exciting or a big letdown? Will you try to earn all six prizes, or will you stop as soon as you earn enough for the Flannel Cow?
