In CastleVille's First Integration, Players Get Keys to
   Martha's Kingdom, Giving Fans a New Way to Interact With the
                       Queen of Domesticity

SAN FRANCISCO, March 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zynga (Nasdaq:ZNGA),
the world's leading provider of social game services, today announced a
first-of-its kind in-game integration with Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia in CastleVille. Beginning today, medieval is getting a
makeover as Martha moves into players' neighboring game boards, giving
them a chance to not only interact with the entrepreneur in a brand new
way, but receive special in-game rewards.

"I love playing games, but I love being in a game even more. Turning my
personal domain into an imaginary and fanciful kingdom is not only fun
for me and the players of CastleVille, but a clever way to share my
particular style of living with an interactive and creative audience.
I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to encourage my fans to take a
little break in their day to play," said Martha Stewart, founder of
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

"Martha Stewart is someone who people across the world have welcomed
into their home for years, and I'm thrilled to welcome her onto
CastleVille game boards," said David Rippy, General Manager of
CastleVille. "Zynga is creating a new form of entertainment through our
games, and we are always looking for ways to keep play fun and
interesting, and to surprise and delight our players by bringing a bit
of what they love in the real world to their virtual kingdoms. We're
honored that Martha has journeyed into CastleVille and hope our players
will truly enjoy getting a chance to craft with their homemaking hero
in the game."

Beginning today through mid-April, players in CastleVille will receive
an invitation from Martha to visit her kingdom, a uniquely designed
neighboring kingdom. The crowning and crafty features of this
integration include:


  --  Martha, Martha, Martha: Don't just see where she lives, interact with
      her! Players will be delighted to see Martha's in-game character, the
      queen of DIY in the flesh (er, pixels) on their game board.
  --  Won't You Be My Neighbor?: Visit Martha's neighboring kingdom, designed
      after her very own Bedford home. Complete with new animals (including a
      Friesian Horse, Araucana Chickens and Black Sheep), new flowers (Black
      orchid and White Tulip) as well as the largest building ever introduced
      in CastleVille -- Martha's home!
  --  Putting All Your Eggs in Martha's Basket: Martha is hosting an Easter
      egg hunt in her kingdom, and in typical Martha fashion -- is celebrating
      with a party. Along the way, players will build a crafting gazebo and
      work on different crafts including egg decorating.
