New Cross-Game Promotion

Share:

We can now add Treasure Isle to the list of games that will help us in Mafia Wars.  Zynga took notice to all the complaints when many of the cross-game promotions were discontinued.  My friends Jana Gucci, Bossy Don, and Patrick Dacosta just love these things.  Me, not so much.  I like the bonuses but I hate playing the other games.  Treasure Isle isn't that bad and the reward for this one is my favorite, a stamina refill.  There is even a chance to get a Tiki Mask.  We can do this one every 16 hours and it took me less than 5 minutes. If you haven't played Treasure Isle yet, read my article Treasure Isle for Stamina Refills for the basics.
To get started, unblock Treasure Isle and give it permission to access your account.  It seems that I'm constantly having to do this.

 Go to your Mafia Wars game and look for the Tiki Mask icon on top of your game header and click on it.

If you can't locate the icon, use the following link to activate the promotion.

http://apps.facebook.com/inthemafia/track.php?next_controller=index&next_action=do_promotions&next_params={"promo":"treasure_integrated_promo_4"}

You will get the following pop-up.  Click on "Start the Promotion!" to begin.

This one works just like the last cross-promotion except you need to open 3 Treasure Chests instead of 1.  When you travel to the island of your choice, start clicking on squares until you find 3 Treasure Chests.  You can see how many are left on the island you choose by looking in the upper right hand corner.

Upon opening your 3rd Treasure Chest, you will get the pop-up with your reward.  Go back to Mafia Wars to make sure you got it.  I made the mistake of staying and when I returned to Mafia Wars, my stamina wasn't refilled.

I made the following screen shot and was prepared to do a Live Chat session with Zynga Customer Support.

It turns out I didn't need to create a support ticket after all.  When I returned back to Treasure Isle several hours later, I got the pop-up again.  This time I clicked on "Go back!" and was super excited because not only was my stamina refilled but I got the Tiki Mask as well.  I couldn't resist but to brag about that!

Here is the Tiki Mask in my inventory.

While you are playing, you will get the option to start a Treasure Isle cross-promotion with Mafia Wars.  You might as well do it if you plan on earning your stamina refills every 16 hours.  When you find a Treasure Chest, you will get a pop-up that will activate the promotion.  Click on "Explore Mafia!" to begin.

You will be taken back to your Mafia Wars game and told you will get a "cool" reward for Treasure Isle everyday that you complete a level.

When I leveled up, I got a Mafia Machete which is for Treasure Isle.  It will give me 5 free chops.  This may or may not come in handy while I'm seeking my 3 Treasure Chests.  Click on "Go Collect!" and you will be directed back to Treasure Isle.

You can brag about this accomplishment to your mafia by clicking the "Share" button.  I was in a festive mood so I did and I'm sure my mafia didn't appreciate that in the news feeds.

The Mafia Machete will be located in your backpack.  When you want to use it, click on the backpack icon, locate the Mafia Machete, and click use.  Your next 5 chops won't cost any energy.
