Farmville has a few fun things going on for April Fools Day. You can grow nachos as a crop, earning one experience point and doubling your modest investment of 25 coins in just two hours. The "seed" is a spilled bag of tortilla chips. Farmers can also digitally TP their neighbors' barns or buy - for FarmCash - some truly odd creatures.
SPP Ranchers meanwhile are finding that animals bought today appear to all be named "Ha." The store also features 100-coin animals that mature in a matter of seconds for ... 100 coins!
I do not see any April Foolishness happening in Yoville or Petville. Both, however, along with Farmville are going all out for Easter, "egging" players on to request, gather, and redeem eggs for collectible items. I also just checked to see whether Social City was getting on the silly action. Perhaps a whoopie cushion factory contract for today only? No such luck.
In short, some social app games are getting into the spirit of the day, others not so much. These games are by their nature whimsical. Hopefully next year we will see more whimsy on top of whimsy.
