If you play Mafia Wars on a regular basis on sites like Facebook, you know that Zynga is always coming up with new and interesting features to make the game more exciting. Recently there have been special missions to London and Paris, special jobs for the World Cup, and even new mystery animal gifts. One new feature, you may have noticed is the unique red mystery bag. Of course, you have probably already seen some other mystery bags out there, but this one is unique. Wondering how to accept, gift, and use these bags to you advantage within mafia games? Here is a closer look at these unique bags that were first introduced at the beginning of June 2010.

First, you may be wondering where to find these red mystery bags within Mafia Wars games. You would not find them in the gift sections where you have found other bags in the past. This bag can only be found while you are doing jobs. They are completely random. They are fairly rare, but from time to time as you do jobs, you will notice that a pop up appears letting you know that you have found an exclusive red mystery bag.

How can you send this new mystery bag within mafia games? Well, when you get the pop up that tells you that you have found the bag, it will give you the option to either send the bag or to skip this altogether. Of course, you will want to help out your mafia friends whenever you can, so you will want to choose to send the bag. When you do this, a list of your friends will pop up and you can send it to any friends you want to. Once you choose the friends to send the red mystery bag to, simply hit send.

There is a very special feature to this new red mystery bag that you find in Mafia Wars. When you are notified that you have found the bag while doing jobs, it will tell you that you have a reward too. Since you found the bag, you get a reward, and then you can share the rewards with friends. Previous mystery bags have always been exclusively gifts, but with this new bag, you get rewards too, which can help you make your mafia even better.

If you have a good mafia that you play with within mafia games, more than likely your friends will send you some of these bags when they find them. How can you accept these bags? Usually you will get a request letting you know that someone has sent you a bag and you need to open it. Click on the request and it will take you to the game where you can hit the Open It button, opening the bag and claiming your special reward.

Of course, you probably are wondering what kind of rewards are found in these red mystery bags. Many different rewards can be found and they are randomly included in the bags, so you never know what you may get when you find one or accept one from someone else. Some provide energy bonuses, experience, extra health, or other boosts that can help you as you play Mafia Wars. Daily chance tickets may be in the bags, or you may find money, including Baht, Rubles, or regular dollars for New York. Reward points are sometimes given in these bags, as are skill points. Other rewards that you may be awarded include collection items from the Valentines Day collection, Consumables, Treasure Chest Keys, Man-hunter shotguns, Escorts, and Snow Leopards. In some cases, you may even find something that you have on your wish list within the game.

When you see these red mystery bags pop up, make sure you use them. Do not skip them because they can hold important items for you and your mafia family. The whole point of playing Mafia Wars is to get stronger and be able to finish jobs and defeat more opponents. With the exclusive loot you find in these mystery bags, you can increase your strength and help your mafia members get stronger at the same time.
