Margaritaville Online on Facebook


Margaritaville Online is a fun new game on the hottest social network.

To play what is sure to be the hottest new Facebook Game, you will need to update your Java. You get to design your character, choose male or female. Hair, eye and lip color can be changed. Further in the game you can customize your clothing and some buildings. Like so many of these Facebook games. You do the objectives to gain experience and other items to advance in the game.


Screen loads to Tropical treasure store, Margaraitaville plays in the background. Let it load, soon you will find yourself at the Oasis where Captian Frank will show you around. You begin you tour listening to upbeat island music.

Another screen loads and has a colorful parrot on it. It introduces the parrot, as ‘Tips’, and the bird will give you tips about playing the Margaritaville Online game.

The bird tells you to click on the beach, so you learn how to move. Then he tells you to talk to Captain Frank. Captain Frank says he has been trying to reason with hurricane season but since it has been rough, he needs your help to clean up. You pick up three pieces of debris and complete your first objective.  You get experience and coins which will help you in the game.


There are small side games inside Margaritaville Online such as the limbo, hammock toss (a match game) and of course a weapon game. 


You are given a slingshot to shoot the pirates who have come to party on the island. If you score 1,000 points, you advance to the second level. You also get to try your hand at fishing with the chief Parrothead himself, Jimmy Buffett.

There are plenty of game characters within the game, and one of the most recognizable ones is Jimmy Buffett.  His icon is very reminiscent of how he looked back in the 70s.  The other characters say funny things in reference to the songs, any Parrothead loves.

As you unlock achievements, you get to turn on the jukebox and hear pre-recorded live concerts. The first one you can unlock is ‘Boom A Rang Love’.  Imagine playing an enjoyable game that has a great sound track, not that tinny sounding crap you get with other games.

 On the second level, you become a Parrot-Head apprentice. On level 3 you become a ‘Coconut Telegraph’ operator, and on level 4 you are known as a ‘Changer of Attitudes’. On level 5 you are a ‘Havana Daydreamer’ while on level six you become an ‘A1A’er!  Upon reaching level seven, “one ‘Particular harbor becomes your current ranking. On level eight I became ‘Somebody from Somewhere’. All the levels are named after his songs, which is cool. Think of the memories those songs bring back.
