    Phonebooth Side-quest Stats [Infographic] 

    Last week Gbanga revealed some insightful gameplay statistics for its pioneering location-based game, “Famiglia”. The Mafia-themed game where players must take-over real-world locations recently introduced 5 geo-based side-quests via “Phonebooths”.

    Phonebooth Sidequests: the stats

    Phonebooth Sidequests: the stats

    Phonebooths are scattered worldwide and offer players various mini-games to complete within their surrounding location. As mentioned previously, on average players have each completed a remarkable 77 quests since their introduction just over four months ago; the most popular quest being “Treasure Dig,” which takes a minimum of 24 hours to complete. The infographic above visualizes “effort vs. reward” and displays the average number of times each quest has been completed per player.

    Famiglia Bribes 

    We have been working hard to find the best balance between Famiglias. The rise to the top is not a easy task as you may face different challenges. We will be soon adding a new element to this race called the weekly Famaglia bribes. We have put together a nice infographic so you can get a idea about we’re talking.

    Famiglia Bribes

    Famiglia Bribes

    Since the Famiglias activity has been very strong and continuously growing, the Famiglia bosses started facing increasing financial pressures from police and local institutions. This is way in the near future every Famiglia Boss will be asked to pay a CASH fee every week that will be proportional to the amount of members. Family members should not neglect the costs of mafia activities and should help their bosses to keep the family finances healthy by trading in precious items.

    The Famiglia bosses will notify all their members about the fee paid and will automatically fire from the family players that have been totally inactive in the family for 3 months.

    The official launch of Famiglia Bribes is set for tomorrow 10/08/2011.
