Cafe World: No Clean Fairy keeps stoves clean without clicking

Cafe World No Clean Fairy
Cafe World Special Items menuStoves in Cafe World always need to be clicked to be cleaned. Not even Super Stoves are immune to this drudgery. But now, in comes the No Clean Fairy, promising to leave stoves clean after use, while allowing you to pocket the Cafe Points earned from the cleaning.

The Fairy costs 95 Cafe Cash, and if you don't have a single Cafe dollar on you, you can buy a set of 120 Cafe Cash for $16 USD in the game. Granted, that's not cheap, and if you plan to be a long-term, real money spender in the game, the 780 Cafe Cash for $50 USD is the best deal.

You can find the No Clean Fairy hiding in the newest section of the Cafe World in-game store by clicking on "Functional Items", then "Special Items" (it's got an icon of a big blue jewel).

Cafe World lets you 'Save the Gulf' and decorate at the same time

Cafe World Save the Gulf
Cafe World is pledging 50% of all proceeds from its "Save the Gulf!" Mystery Crates or 3 Special Charity items to the Audobon Society to fight the Gulf Oil Spill. Each Mystery Crate costs 16 Cafe Cash, or basically, a little over $1 USD. But Cafe World sells Cafe Cash in batches, such as 25 for $3.50 USD or 780 for $50 USD.
Cafe World Save the Gulf Charity Items
The 3 Special Charity items are pre-released items from prior theme sets -- Lobster Tank (25 Cafe Cash), Modern Fish Tank (22 Cafe Cash), and Primal Fish in Tank, which costs the same as a Mystery Crate.

Facebook Groups and new privacy dashboard will change how you game

Mark Zuckerberg
At a press conference held at Facebook headquarters--in a cafeteria, oddly enough--in Palo Alto, Calif., company CEO Mark Zuckerberg and a few of his team managers presented some groundbreaking changes to the platform: redesigned Facebook Groups and application privacy settings. While no mention was made at the event of how these changes would affect us gamers, the big Z just made it a lot easier for us to both collaborate and keep safe while we play.

See the changes and what they might mean to you after the break.

Groups Beat Clans
Facebook GroupsMost likely the biggest change to the platform since Places for smartphones, Facebook Groups allows users to create groups for any occasion (it's all in the name) that are private by default. What's more interesting is that these groups look a lot like your standard Facebook wall with most of the normal features included like photos, news feeds and most importantly, chat. For the first time, people can chat with multiple users at once, but only when in a Group.

When it comes to games, Groups is going to make collaboration that much easier. No more chatting within different programs or creating silly pages for your new FarmVille Crafting Co-Ops or Cafe World Catering Orders. This can all happen within a group tailored specifically to that game or even that task. Want to make sure your catering crew is cooking the right stuff for the 1 Year Anniversary Party? Just make a Group in a separate Facebook browser tab and chat live with your friends about who's baking what. Finishing timed missions in Mafia Wars like the new Social Missions will be a cinch now that you can collaborate live within a Facebook Group. And to think that players used forums before.

Stop Sending Me E-mails!
Ever signed up for e-mail updates from a Facebook game to get that sweet bonus only to find to your inbox filled to the brim within days from notifications of how many friends want to chop your trees down? You can now change how each of your applications, including games, accesses your account with the revamped "Applications and Websites" page in your account privacy settings. Say you want to know the last time a game accessed your information and decide that you don't it to post to your wall at all. This is where you can find that detailed information and shut out the game from doing so.

Facebook Applications
Now that Facebook gamers can tweak how games access their information, perhaps more players will be open to sharing their progress than before. I can't imagine how many gamers hit the "Skip" button constantly while they play to avoid sharing their information.

All things considered, these changes could shrink social gaming communities down to small groups of friends and family from the legions of social gaming communities who in most cases know nothing about one another. What will make or break this change for me is whether developers give players the option to publish their accomplishments and requests to Groups rather than News Feeds. Whether that cheapens or strengthens the primary function of social games is up for debate, but if I'm going to create a group with my close friends for a specific game, I want to be in the know. Regardless of what side you take, taking on the more daunting, hardcore tasks with your friends just got a helluva lot easier.

Cafe World: The Saga of the New Years Goals continues, but this time with free iPads!

Heya Chefs! We've been taking an in-depth look at how Zynga will be ringing in the New Year in Cafe World throughout this week, and at simply how much work needs to be done in an assumed short amount of time. Many users (myself included) are questioning whether or not it will even be worth it to complete the eight New Years Party Goals, even if we miss out on four exclusive recipes in the process, just because of how many things we need to collect, mostly with friends' help.

Zynga is looking to get players back into the gaming spirit, however, as they have offered some amazing real world incentive for users to finish the eight missions. They are now holding a contest, where each person that finishes all eight goals will automatically be entered to win one of 5 iPads, 5 iPod Touches, and 5 Flip Cameras! How's that for incentive!?

These are some fantastic prizes, worth hundreds of dollars in the real world, and they definitely work to create a shining light at the end of the very long tunnel that is these New Years Goals. However, if you can do so before January 10, you'll be entered for your chance to win!

Check out the rest of our New Years coverage right here.

As this growing saga of the New Years Goals continues, we want to know your thoughts - will you complete this mission set now that there are real world prizes available to win, or do you still think the missions are too difficult to complete?

Cafe World Lomi-Lomi Luau Catering Order: Everything you need to know

Did you not get enough of the Hawaiian fun in Cafe World through the newest set of Aloha Joe and Lisa goals? Or, perhaps you've already completed those goals and you'd like to keep cooking the recipes that you earned therein? Either way, there's a new way for you to keep cooking, and to keep the Hawaiian party alive, all by completing the new Lomi-Lomi Luau Catering Order.

To be specific, you'll only want to tackle this mission once you've completed the Aloha goals (check out our guide to doing so), as you'll be required to cook all three dishes that you unlock only by completing them. Unless you have a set of very friendly neighbors, that are willing to outright finish this catering order for you, you'll be unable to complete the mission, regardless of the time limit, unless you pay Cafe Cash to do so, or finally unlock these recipes the old-fashioned way.

If you're ready for a challenge, meet us behind the break for everything you need to know about this new order.
As is stands, this is one of the most cooking-heavy orders I can personally recall seeing released in the game. You'll need to cook and serve over 1,000 dishes in total, and all in under three days. You'll need to serve Lau Lau (a two-hour dish) and Lomi Lomi Salmon (a six-hour dish) a whopping 525 times each. You'll also need to serve Haupia (a 24 hour dish) 50 times before all is said and done. Regardless of your level, your amount of available stoves, or your overall dedication to the game, I think many of you would likely agree with me in saying that this is more than a bit excessive.

If you're willing to tackle the challenge, you'll be able to bring 18 of your friends in on this mission with you, for a total catering crew of 19 people. While everyone is busy cooking, you'll also have to collect 28 collectible items: 14 each of Coconut Cups and Decorative Seashells. This is done by sending individual gift requests to your friends, asking them to send you that particular item.

If you're able to finish these monumental tasks in less than three days, you'll receive the three-star rating, 12 Catering Points, 3,200 Cafe Points, 75,000 coins, and the Chicken Long Rice recipe, which is exclusive to this catering order. Finishing in more than three days, but less than five will earn you the two-star rating, 8 Catering Points, 2,300 Cafe Points and 50,000 coins. Finally, if you finish at any point after the first five days, you'll receive 4 Catering Points, 1,400 Cafe Points, and 30,000 coins. It's worth noting again that the only way you'll receive the new recipe is by finishing with a three-star rating.

Is it just me, or does this mission seem excessively difficult? While a few of the most recent missions were fairly simple in comparison, giving you five days for the three-star rating, not only does this job require more cooking, but it also gives you less time to do it. I suppose that gives you all the more reason to celebrate should you finish the goal, as you'll have access to a new recipe that I think will stay rare for a very, very long time.

What do you think of this new catering order in Cafe World? Will you attempt to finish in three days, or would you be happy to ever finish the order, given its high requirements?

Cafe World Mother's Day Goals: Everything you need to know

Update: Parts 6-8 of the Mother's Day goals have been released. Click here to pick up where this first set leaves off.

In honor of Mother's Day this weekend, Zynga has released a new set of goals in Cafe World celebrating mothers everywhere. Specifically, our friend Amelia needs help finding the perfect gift for her own mother for Mother's Day, and you're just the person to help her out! Thanks to the new Goal Manager, you'll be able to find this set of goals even if it doesn't appear automatically (although it should) - just look out for the three roses with the "1" next to it, and you'll be good to go.

The first mission is called the Perfect Gift, and it starts you off slowly.

Spice 5 Neighbors' Stoves
Serve Belgian Waffles 10 Times
Get 3 Hugs and Kisses

If you haven't guessed already, the Hugs & Kisses are this event's RSVP, meaning that you'll only be ask the same friend to send you an additional Hugs and Kisses item once every 46 or so hours, rather than everyday. As for the Belgian Waffles, they can be cooked for 200 coins and are ready to serve in two hours. For finishing this first goal, you'll receive the World's Best Mom Certificate. The rest of this goal series becomes a bit more complicated. While there are supposed to be eight full goals in this mission series, according to Di's Mingle Network, only the first five are currently available. The extra three goals will likely be released sometime this weekend, and we wouldn't be surprised if a Catering Order came along with it. At any rate, we can see help you get through the first five goals, so let's continue, shall we?

Part II of VIII asks you to ask your friends to send you some nice table-setting decorations, along with serving another dish.

Ask for 5 Flowers
Serve Eggs Benedict 8 Times
Ask for 5 Candles

The Flowers and Candles can be received by simply asking your friends to send them to you, which is convenient, as you'll be able to complete the third task - cooking Eggs Benedict - while you wait for them to arrive. The dish costs 300 coins to cook and takes six hours to prepare. For finishing this goal, you'll receive Mother's Day Flowers. Slowly but surely, Amelia's present is coming together!

In Part III of VIII, you'll unlock your first new recipe for this mission series.

Ask for 5 Touches of Mother's Love
Ask for 7 Candlesticks
Serve Bacon and Eggs 10 Times

Bacon and Eggs and can be cooked for 1,000 coins, and take nine full hours to prepare. Your first new dish is the Breakfast in Bed, which costs 1,500 coins to cook, and takes 12 hours to finish.

For Part IV of VIII, you'll unlock the second of three new dishes currently available, but of course, you'll have to work for it first.

Get 6 Hugs & Kisses
Ask for 7 Red Sugar Cubes
Serve Herbed Halibut 15 Times

Herbed Halibut costs 700 coins and takes one day to complete. As for the Hugs & Kisses, any extra items that you earned at the beginning of this mission series should carry over, so you may not to ask for more, but if so, just ask your friends (again) and you'll be able to move on. Your second new recipe is the Mother's Day Feast, which has stats matching that of the Herbed Halibut - it's ready to serve after a full day of cooking, and costs 700 coins to prepare.

This brings us to Part V of VIII, the current stopping point of this mission series. It will see you putting you last new recipe to work, and will reward you with yet another new dish to serve in your cafe.

Get 8 Hugs & Kisses
Serve Mother's Day Feast 20 Times
Ask for 8 Pink Sugar Sprinkles

The third free dish is the X's and O's Cookies, which may only take 30 minutes to prepare, but costs 1200 coins to cook.

Again, this is (as of this writing), the ending point of this mission series, but with the game clearly labeling this mission series as having eight full parts, we'll make sure to keep an eye on things and will update this space when you can move onto parts six-eight.

[Goals 2- 5 Via Di's Mingle Network]

What do you think of these Mother's Day goals in Cafe World? Do some of the requirements seem more appropriate for a romantic holiday, or is that just me?
