Hamburg, January 25, 2012 – Bigpoint's casual game Farmerama is celebrating its second birthday with over 35 million registered users and over 500,000 Facebook fans. These impressive numbers make Farmerama one the most successful casual games of all time. Farmerama's great success can be attributed not only to ever-increasing user registrations and millions of active and satisfied players, but most importantly – to Farmerama becoming a core game in Bigpoint's portfolio within just two years.

Farmers around the world are partying until the cows come home – Farmerama's turning 2!

It's Farmarama's birthday: reason enough to go hog-wild! It doesn't matter if you are a new or experienced farmer, everyone is invited. So lay down those pitchforks, start hanging streamers, and blow up balloons until you just can't decorate anymore! Farmerama is having the rootin'est, tootin'est hoedown for farmers all around the world! Two years of Farmerama – that entails a whole lot more than planting and harvesting crops and cleaning out stalls. Rather, players can expect weekly quests and events like the emotionally stirring royal wedding, Oktoberfest complete with delicious pretzels, or the hair-raising full moon event. Farmerama's players have earned a mighty celebration, complete with exciting quests, colorful decorations and a heap of kooky surprises. Loyalty will be rewarded: the top prize for hard-working farmers is a reward that gets better the longer a player has been registered.

"In developing Farmerama, we have finally created a game that is played and enjoyed by as many men as women. The game's continued success is thanks to the team, who has captured the hearts of millions of virtual farmers with their increasingly creative game ideas, "said Heiko Hubertz, CEO and founder, Bigpoint. He is grateful for all their hard work!
