Gameplay
All Viwawa games are free-to-play casual games that typically last for a short duration of 10 minutes. Game types include word, strategy, card, and puzzle games.
Most Viwawa games have in-game items that often provide some form of power-boost or aesthetic enhancement to the gameplay. For example, in the game of Stwack, a gamer can buy a Snow-Ball Attack item that creates additional damage over the standard attack options. These items can be purchased with Viwawa Gold or Viwawa Cash, which differ in the method of accumulation and the avenues in which they can be spent.
Avatar Creation
Gamers can create avatars known as Wawas and purchase expressions, clothing, accessories, backgrounds, and pets to decorate their Wawas. These Wawas will appear in most of the games and will be open for public voting by fellow gamers.
Virtual Economy
Viwawa Gold is earned primarily by winning games. A gamer can spend Viwawa Gold on game items or for registration of adhoc activities. Viwawa Gold cannot be purchased with or exchanged for money. Viwawa Cash is purchased with real-world currency through Premium SMS, scratch cards, credit cards, or Paypal.
Community
Viwawa demographics have a nearly equal mix of males and females with ages from 6+ to 60+ years old. Gamers can engage other gamers through Private Messaging, in-game chats, Shoutboxes and Wallposts. Viwawa also offers a Friends or Buddies management system that allows friend lists.
