Popp also has the second highest MAU of any title on the list with 929,000 monthly active players. At third is the ever-growing Ponzi, Inc.

The game grew by 24 percent and now has the largest MAU total of any game on the list, at 950,000 players. If the game grows by even 6 percent next week, it will have graduated from the emerging list and only be eligible for the DAU and MAU top 20 gaining lists. This week has five Christmas games and card-building apps on the list, which ties last weeks amount. However last week's title Candy Cane, has been replaced with Send Holiday Wishes, 18th. No other titles dropped a place on the list, but Say Merry Christmas gained the most, moving up three spots for fifth with 156,000, a 50 percent gain. New titles were released this month as well and are making their first appearances on the list this week. At eighth, with the largest gain, the animal saving Happy Habitat. At 12th, strategy game Warstorm with a growth of 73 percent. And at 16th, ninja fighting game Nindou International. The year should finish out with new titles fighting their way up the list as other titles reclaim the space left behind by Christmas games and apps.
