Zynga the worldβs leading developer of social games invited us into their Soho offices for a new kind of Game Night. If you are not familiar with Zynga you most likely have played one of their games. They have over 300 million active players worldwide.
The Come Play with Zynga Event featured well known Zynga titles like FarmVille, Draw Something, and Words with Friends. Attendees were also introduced to newer games. Scramble with Friends is a fun new fast-paced phrase guessing game that takes Wheel of Fortune to a new level and BattleStone is a soon to be released role-playing game with killer graphics that thrill. BattleStone players build a team of fighters to take down enemies. Each game was presented with tips on how to play to win.
Also on hand with entertaining tips was well-known event designer Kelley Lilien known throughout the industry as Mrs. Lilien. At Zynga, she set up a cheerful game night party tabletop, featuring all the Zynga social games and setting the table with a playful, color-filled decor.
