Ayeah Games announced today it has received a round of funding to make social reality games. Mixing social networking and breaking news, it is described as a variation on the gameplay of FarmVille and Mafia Wars, and is expected to release on Facebook in October.

“Ayeah Games is about real people and real events and capitalizes on the rapid adoption of Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms,”said Levin. “In many ways, Ayeah is building on the immense popularity of existing online gaming environments, which are easy to use and encourage interaction among friends. By adding in the gossip we all love in our daily lives, Ayeah s experience will be even more viral.”
