Originally created by the founders of Big Viking Games, YoWorld was sold to Zynga as YoVille in 2008, and later reacquired by Big Viking Games in 2014. YoWorld continues to thrive on the Facebook platform and is cited as one of the inspirations for the creation of FarmVille! The game allows Facebook members to create a virtual community with personalized characters and homes. With thousands of items to choose from, players can customize their homes, characters, and worlds to their heart’s content!

Within the virtual world, users can do a variety of things. These include purchasing new homes, decorating them, stylizing their avatar however they see fit, adopting pets, role-playing, meeting new people, and socializing. The game is a life-simulation, and players can live it as they see fit. To keep the game interesting, the developers regularly release new "themes" within the game. Themes are new furniture, clothing, pets, and housing lines that are released all in correlation with one another. Themes can be based on or inspired by a number of things, such as holidays, real-life locations, time periods and eras, stories and folklore, lifestyles, artistic movements, current events, and genres of fiction.

To make money, players can take on jobs, or perform daily tasks and collect bonuses, like opening free mystery chests they receive from friends. They can also participate in the game's virtual economy by buying, selling, and trading virtual goods, such as furniture and clothing. Watching ads is also another way of making free YoCoins within the game.

YoWorld has its own map filled with public locations, as well as various hangouts players can go to meet new people, such as, but not limited to, a vintage diner and a nightclub. YoWorlders can also make posts and participate in discussion on the YoWorld Forums, where they can give feedback for new themes, features, and assets they'd like to see in-game.
