Crime City Becomes Don of This Week's List of Fastest-Growing Facebook Games by MAU

Crime City has finally climbed to the top of our weekly AppData list of fastest-growing Facebook games by monthly active users. The Funzio game, which has been out for just over a month, has quickly become one of the most successful games from a developer outside the top four this year. Here's the full list: Top Gainers This Week - Games Name MAU Gain Gain,% 1. Crime City 3,914,363 +1,189,145 +44% 2. Ravenwood Fair 2,437,040 +865,539 +55% 3.

Monster World 4,542,559 +192,652 +4% The success of Crime City is doubly impressive considering that Funzio is a virtual unknown in social gaming -- though the company does have experience in both Facebook and mobile gaming. Funzio isn't alone on this list, in terms of combining great success with a low profile; Cie Games, which has Car Town at number seven this week, is much the same in that regard. Number two is Ravenwood Fair, from LOLapps. As we noted in a story on the rapid fall of LOLapps' other, suspended apps on Friday, Ravenwood's viral channels have been suspended by Facebook for some separate infraction and will, apparently, return this Wednesday. In the meantime, the strong growth seen above is probably being significantly dented; the results of the suspension appear in the app's DAU: My Kingdom is the latest Chinese-language game to grow quickly -- very quickly, in fact, given that the population of users that can read it is only a fraction of those who might be able to play a game like Crime City. It's a kingdom management game with a strong farming element, much like We Rule. Few of the games on this week's list are new to it. Only Pogo Games is really a newcomer; Electronic Arts seems to have finally decided to promote the game portal, which is a small subsidiary of the gaming giant.
