Zynga Brings Players a Fun, New Way to Play With Friends in a
         Fast-Paced, Visually Stunning Match 3 Arcade Game

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zynga (Nasdaq:ZNGA),
the world's leading provider of social game services, today announced
the global launch of Ruby Blast, a fast, fun, social and
visually-engaging game, where players match gems, dig through bedrock
with help from friends, and activate power-ups to reach high scores in
a weekly leaderboard. Created by the talented teams from Zynga's China
and Seattle studios, Ruby Blast follows intrepid archeologist, Ruby, in
a high-speed race into the depths of an ancient mine where players
smash through dirt to uncover hidden treasure and face off with
friends.

"With Ruby Blast, we strived to take the familiar experience of a match
3 puzzle game and bring it to a whole new level of social and fun,"
said Jim Veevaert, General Manager, Zynga Seattle. "We've reimagined
the category with a game that introduces brand new gameplay and unique
social features -- all wrapped around a fresh storyline and
state-of-the-art visuals. Hidden beneath a veil of simplicity, Ruby
Blast offers layers of complexity that bridges the best of classic
arcade games with innovative twists from today that will leave players'
hearts racing through each round."

As players follow Ruby to the depths of the mine, they will encounter a
variety of gems, power-ups, obstacles and explosives. In each round,
players have 40 seconds to dig into a cavernous mine by matching three
or more gems at a time. By digging down, players progress in the game
toward checkpoints, adding more time to the clock and uncovering
treasures and a few surprises. In Ruby Blast, players unearth features
such as:


  --  More Social:





  --  Weekly Tournaments: Dig deep to compete with friends for high scores and
      prizes; send friends energy and gifts to help them along the way.
  --  Friend Gems: Facebook friends appear on a player's game board to dig up
      special gems and drill through layers of rock.
  --  Multi-Player: Coming later this year, players on Zynga.com will be able
      to challenge friends in a head-to-head race.





  --  Stunning Effects: Enjoy explosive graphics, action-packed sound effects
      and gorgeous particle effects. Ruby Blast also marks Zynga's first game
      optimized for Adobe(R) Flash(R) 11 Player utilizing Stage 3D technology.
  --  Power-ups: Level up to activate over-the-top power-ups that explode gems
      and clear the board. Various power-ups at launch include:





  --  Nova Flare: Instantly destroys a row and column of gems and dirt

  --  Cherry Bomb: Blast downward in a triple explosion
  --  Shuffle Magic: Rearranges board into big blocks of color for easy
      matching





  --  Gems are Truly Outrageous: Match gems and dig thru dirt as you uncover a
      multitude of treasures to help your archeological adventure.
