Your support makes all the difference.The current chart of fastest growing Facebook games: Fish Isle adds another 150,000 active users, School of Wizardry makes its first appearance in our top ten charts with a distinctive Harry Potter style, and Treasure Madness is rewarded for a hike in user numbers over the last 24 hours.
Fish Isle continues it's admirable growth rate, as overall user numbers are steadily increasing by over 5% as they have been nearly every day since the virtual aquarium game was released mid-November, whilst FishVille has been slowing down for a while now, released as it was a week or two earlier, and Happy Aquarium lies just outside the chart with a tiny 0.3% increase in use nonetheless equating to an extra 84,000 players checking up on their in-game fishbowls.
School of Wizardry is an apprentice wizard training sim that takes place in a traditional boarding school environment. The characters used to advertise the game are a bespectacled, brown-mopped boy, a red-headed teen lad, and a young girl, all carrying wands and dressed in gowns. Such strong resemblance to the Harry Potter books cannot be put down to coincidence, and are a major driver behind the game's appeal.

The number of Facebook users playing it has increased by 4% every day over the last couple of weeks; today's news is that the amount coming back on a daily basis took a major leap since December 3, increasing by nearly 50% to 735,000.
