Zynga Headquarters

Share:

Before attending the Mafia Wars Meet the Family Event in San Fransisco earlier today, I was given a tour of Zynga Headquarters.  This was really cool and something I've always been curious about.  I hope I can describe it to you well enough as I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures.  Zynga Headquarters is located in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Fransisco, California.  Here is a view from the back entrance.

When you walk inside from the front entrance, it's obvious that games are what this company is about.

Each game that Zynga develops has it's own office space.  Here are the offices for Cafe World, FrontierVille and the newest game CityVille. Everything at Zynga is very secretive and all the offices have tinted windows so you can't see in.

I was lucky enough to be able to go inside the Mafia Wars office and it was a big open space with lots of computers.  You can see here that the developers work very hard.  It was Saturday afternoon and 3 of them were plugging away.  They were very friendly and all seemed really happy with their jobs.  I think it would be really cool to be smart enough to do this job.

I'll have more to report on the Meet The Family Event when I get all the pictures that were taken.  It was a very fun and exciting day and I can't wait to share the experience with you.  I was able to accomplish something that Bossy Don said I would be a hero if I could pull off.  When the Mafia Wars truck was driving around Las Vegas this past Summer, I wanted to find it and get a picture of me inside it.  I never did locate it in Las Vegas and lo and behold, there was an unblown up one in San Fransisco.  Mission accomplished!
