If you click on the link, you'll be invited to start playing the game. If you're using Facebook HTTPS, you will first be prompted to switch to a regular connection, which should alarm some users. This particular scheme will make you "Like" the game without your permission, and it will show on your Wall, thus allowing it to spread further.

If you continue, you will be asked to give permission to a Facebook App, and finally you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire with some personal data.

As always, you should definitely avoid clicking on suspicious links such as these and verify each app before you give it additional permissions on Facebook. If you've fallen prey to this scheme already, you should delete any spam posts you may have inadvertently sent. Then, go through your security settings and revoke any access for apps you don’t recall signing up for.
