A social network game is a type of online game that is designed to be played within a social networking platform or on a website that integrates with social media platforms such as Facebook. These games are often multiplayer games that allow players to interact with each other, form social connections, and compete against one another.
Social network games are typically free to play, but generate revenue through in-game purchases, such as virtual items or premium features. The games are often designed to be addictive and encourage players to return regularly to the game, with rewards for logging in daily or inviting friends to play.
Some popular examples of social network games include FarmVille, Candy Crush Saga, and Mafia Wars. These games are often easy to play and accessible to a wide range of audiences, making them popular among casual gamers and non-gamers.
