For a short time last evening, Cafe World released its’ latest feature to the game – the ability to clean your neighbors cafe.

It was a very short beta test, and it seems there were a few bugs, but the overall idea was ‘neat’!

If you logged in during the beta test, you would have seen:

We found 8 different spots throughout our cafe that needed cleaning. Each spot earned us:

• 1 CP
• 5 Coins

After cleaning up our messy cafe, we earned the opportunity to post to our wall asking for friends to also help clean, until it sparkles. Visiting your friends cafe’s allowed you to clean up to 5 dirty spots, each earning you:

• 2 CP
• 10 Coins

The next time we logged in, we received the following message:

Lolla had cleaned up the 5 dirty spots she found in our cafe. Each of those spots were now sparkling. It was now our turn to work again!

By clicking on the sparkling spots, our Buzz Rating went up 1 full point – from 105.0 to 110.0. As most players know by now, the higher your Buzz rating, the more patrons visit your cafe and the more coins you earn.

It seems that you will also be able to make the request twice. Looking through our Live Feed last evening, we also found this status message, indicating that additional cleaning was needed for a very dirty cafe

Zynga, the developers of Cafe World, removed the cleaning features shortly after release. It seemed to be a short beta test, and according to their fan page “…a secret recipe we’ve been working on for the past few weeks needs a bit more time cooking…some of you may have experienced some trouble trying out one of our latest beta features.”

Hopefully they will get all the kinks out soon and bring the cleaning features back. However, it would be nice if they actually fixed the laggy and slow loading game first – before they give us additional tasks to do…
