help Mafia Wars FAQ
Was Mafia Wars a Facebook game or a standalone PC game?
It was a Zynga social-network game that became closely associated with Facebook, where players built a mafia, completed jobs, and fought other players. Zynga's company history lists Mafia Wars among its major Facebook games. [Zynga company history](https://www.zynga.com/about/our-story/)
What did you actually do in Mafia Wars?
The core loop was to spend energy on jobs and missions, use stamina in fights, recruit a mafia, and grow cash and equipment. Progress was tied to online interactions and a freemium economy rather than a fixed single-player campaign.
Did Mafia Wars have a sequel?
Yes, Zynga released Mafia Wars 2 in October 2011. That follow-up closed on December 30, 2012, while the original Facebook game was later announced for closure in June 2016. [Mafia Wars history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_Wars)
Can I still play the original Mafia Wars?
The original Facebook version is no longer an active game: Zynga announced its closure for June 6, 2016, and it went offline shortly afterward. A later mobile relaunch appeared in selected markets, but it was not the same live Facebook experience. [Mafia Wars history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_Wars)
