Chinese-Language Titles Rise on This Week's List of Fastest-Gaining Facebook Games by DAU

Our AppData list of the week's fastest-growing games by daily active users contains a few of the same names seen on yesterday's monthly active user list, but is otherwise full of fresh titles, including a couple of significant new Chinese-language games. Here's the full top 20: Top Gainers This Week - Games Name DAU Gain Gain,% 1. Texas HoldEm Poker 6,105,240 +217,927 +4% 2. 開心魚塘 237,029 +153,128 +183% 3.

Pieces of Flair 238,105 +23,499 +11% Texas HoldEm Poker, Zynga's long-running Facebook poker game, appears to have added some new users, but we're still checking out whether a recent Facebook stat reporting bug is affecting a handful of games like HoldEm, along with FarmVille and some other large titles seen above. 開心魚塘 is the first of the Chinese-language games with big growth numbers. Its DAU growth is actually exaggerated here; over the past two days the fish-raising game has gained a large number of new players, who are naturally counted as DAU since they visited within the past day. The game's DAU should fall somewhat going forward, but it's definitely growing overall. 幸運號碼, another growing Chinese-language game, appears to be a portal of some sort, as well as Snsplus, which uses Chinese characters everywhere except its name. Car Town is one that also appeared on the MAU gainers list. The fast-growing new game features collectible cars based on real brands and models, which no doubt adds to the cachet. Finally, Baking Life and Fashion World have, through some twist of fate, appeared together yet again. For weeks the two retail sim games marched up the leaderboards in tandem, Fashion World almost always producing slightly slower growth. Today they're still together, though there is in fact a gulf between their total DAUs: Baking Life has 1.4 million DAU, while Fashion World has just broken a million.
