The fight for fans and competition to rise up the ranks amongst Facebook game developers has been fierce. Tons of games have been popping up every week and those that cover it (like me) get a bit inundated. Most games are of the same genre, with just a little bit of tweaks here and there. In terms of creativity and originality, there are a few that stands out. One is the Pot Farm game. Not only is it interesting, but it has surpassed my expectations in terms of boldness.
This game which just launched recently has 208,000 fans and growing. There are about 1,100,000 monthly active users as of this writing. I’m not surprised since it is supposed to be “controversial” and we all love controversy, for whatever it is worth. What’s interesting though is that there are a few online publications that have talked about this new game. Social Times, being on top of the ranks in Google when searching for “Pot Farm game” is just one of them, which published an exclusive interview with Uncle Floyd, the person behind the game. Some blogs have either linked back to the post or most are found to have shared it in forums instead. Oh, there is one site dedicated to the game, PotFarm.org, which is more of a fan site and not the official game website. Everyone is in “stealth” mode. I don’t blame them.
So what is the game about? It’s still your typical farming game but as the title suggests, you grow hemp and different types of it (I think), purchase protection and the usual decorative items in any social game like the hippy van, tents, and well…contraptions like a brewery, “potcorn” popper and an oil press.
It looks like a rehashed version of any farming game but what makes it appealing to gamers is the overall concept of “getting caught” (or at least to avoid getting caught), which the protection items are for. The dialogue and language used overall is very cool man (dude) and let’s not forget the characters, Uncle Floyd and Ranger Dick.
So, are you playing the game yet? Have you clicked on the link to satisfy your curiosity or do you have feelings of disgust that such game exists? Don’t worry, it is set only to be available for people aged 21 and above. It will not show up even if you search it when you log into Facebook, if you’re under 21 (at least that’s what I was told).
Re: Pot Farm
Does anyone know if and how to use items such as the oil press, brewer and potcorn machine? When I click on mine, I just get the options to move it, sell it or walk to it.
Thanks dudes!
Things like the ‘ potcorn maker’ and such are used as a daily income. i love this game. it is unique and very addictive.
This game is ridiculous!!!! I love the heck out of it and its a very addictive game. i play it at least five times a day. try it im tellin you it will be worth it!!
the potcorn machine a whiskey still you need hemp oil, corn and time warp to make potcorn hemp to make oil and brain warp and corn to make pot scotch
thats preety much what i found outt lol pot corn and pot scotch will make you more than 30.000$ a day if you have the stuff in your inventory

everything you need to know
forget that, im lvl 46, i have 2 barns for storage and 30 whiskey stills i keep all my equipment and protection in my barns untill i need them, i have 343 availiable spaces and a starting protection of 150 JUST from animals i have that take up NO SPACES, i run corn 3 days in a row, for a total of 1029 corn, then 4 crops of brain warp with various stored protection to get an equal amount, that totals over 35000 exp, and 8232 pot scotch for a coin total of, 1,152,000 every 5 days, you could also plant ur field 2/3 corn and 1/3 brain warp if u harvest the warp twice daily and convert b4 replanting the totals will be the same but it requires a little more time to maintain where as i only convert scotch once a week
I think its absolutely ridiculous that facebook shut it down over a lawsuit brought on by parents that serve wine to their children for dinner. *grrrr* What country do we live in anyway?
Ursula i so agree, so if you dont like it supervise your kids better, its a game, with everything thats on TV these days, this was nothing when compaired to that.
