Private Arena - FAQs

Share

The Arena now gives you an opportunity to create Private Arena battles and invite your Mafia / Family Members for a close battle!

Q: How do I create a Private Arena?
A:
  You should be able to see a “Private Arena” button in the Fight tab of the Arena.

Click on the button to create a Private Arena.



Once you click on the Private Arena button, you will see the following options:

1.       Stamina Cover charge for your Private Arena: Click here to read more about Stamina Cover charges
2.       Room Name: You have an option to choose a custom name for your Private Arena
3.       Min Players: This lets you select the minimum number of required players for your Private Arena (3,4,5 OR 6)
Please note that a minimum of 3 players (including you) are required to start a Private Arena battle.
4.       Select opponents: You will be able to select opponents from your Mafia, Family or a system generated list of recommended players.



Once you define the specifications of your Private Arena and select your opponents, click on the “Send Invite” button to create your Private Arena.

Q: Why can’t I see all my Mafia/Family members on the list? 
A:
 You can only invite players who are concurrently online in Mafia Wars (regardless of their current actions in the game) and hence only online Mafia/Family Members will be visible in the list.

Please note that you will be unable to invite players who are already in a Holding Cell or fighting in the Arena.

Q: What happens after I click on the “Send Invite” button? 
A: 
As soon as you click on the “Send Invite” button, you will be placed in a Holding Cell and an invite will be sent to the selected opponents to join your Private Arena.




Q: How will my opponents know about an invitation to my Private Arena?
A: Your opponents will see the invite to your Private Arena through an in-game pop-up notification:



Players can also see your invite in the Arena Notifications section.

If they accept the invitation within the required time, they will be placed in the same Holding Cell as you.

The battle will begin once the minimum required players (as configured while creating the Private Arena) join.




Q: Can I only invite the players who are currently playing in the Arena? 
A: 
No, you can invite players who are online in Mafia Wars, regardless of their current actions in the game.

However, you will be unable to invite players who are already in a Holding Cell or fighting in the Arena.

Q: Can other players join my Private Arena through the Arena Lobby? 
A: 
No, only the invited players can join a Private Arena. Private Arenas are identified by the icon, with the “Join” button disabled.



Q: How do I manage or disable pop-up notifications for the Arena?
A:  
While playing Mafia Wars, you may receive similar notifications from opponents inviting you to a Private Arena or a 1-on-1 Challenge.

Click on the Arena Notifications icon on the Top Bar to access and manage all notifications related to the Arena:
