PlayFirst's forays into the social gaming market have proven unsuccessful, as low user counts forced the company to cancel all of its Facebook games, Diner Dash and Chocolatier, not long after launching them. In October 2010, PlayFirst announced a focus on the mobile and social market after raising $9.2 million from investors, and cancelled releasing further casual games in the near future.

The five-part, adventure/ hidden object-mixing Dream Chronicles series was another highlight in PlayFirst's portfolio. Other non- Dash PlayFirst games includes the three-part, retro-style strategy-based Chocolatier series, which was released during 20 in collaboration with Big Splash Games. However, they mostly earned lukewarm receptions from game critics and gamers. Spin-off series and games Wedding Dash (2007), Cooking Dash (2008), and Hotel Dash (2009) were released. PlayFirst games are available on more than 500 sites in 20 languages. PlayFirst has also published Diner Dash across multiple platforms, including PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Facebook and consoles DS, Xbox, and Wii. The success of Diner Dash with game critics and gamers prompted PlayFirst to release four sequels in the following years: Restaurant Rescue (2006), Flo on the Go (2006), Hometown Hero (2007), and the fifth BOOM! in 2010. Diner Dash was initially developed by Gamelab, a New York-based casual game developer, and after foreseeing its huge potential, PlayFirst bought the rights to the game. PlayFirst’s biggest commercial success is one of its earliest released games, Diner Dash series, which was released for the first time on PC/Mac platforms in 2005.
