Zynga acquires Draw Something maker OMGPOP

Social gaming powerhouse Zynga has purchased OMGPOP, the independent developer behind the hit mobile game Draw Something.

Draw Something, available for iOS and Android, combines the fun of Pictionary with social gaming. You and friends or complete strangers take turns guessing a word by looking at drawings you’ve made. It runs on phones and tablets, and is particularly fun on the iPad.

Dan Porter, CEO of OMGPOP, told players of Draw Something not to worry.

“Nothing’s changing and now all the features you want — chat and sharing and galleries and more – will come even faster. Thank you for everything. And to all future players, you are going to love the things that OMGPOP and Zynga are cooking up together.”
