Our verdict
Zynga suits players who want to start a game without paying at entry and who are content to browse a catalogue of casual, racing and card titles on a phone. Behind those titles sits Zynga Inc., publishing since 2007, with the trade-off that help runs through a help centre and a community forum.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Nothing is charged at entry: the catalogue is free to play, so a reader opens a title and starts.
- Games run on mobile and browser, so the catalogue opens on a phone and in a browser alike.
- Titles have shipped since 2007, so the catalogue comes from an established operator rather than a launch-week seller.
- Casual, racing and card titles sit side by side in the same line-up, so a player picks on taste rather than on price.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre and community only, so a payment or account question goes to an article or a forum thread rather than a live agent.
- A free to play entry settles the price at the door but leaves the cost of a session open, so a player sets that budget inside the game.
- The catalogue has grown since 2007, so a new player spends time sorting titles before finding a match.
Who it suits
- Players who want to start a game without paying at entry, given the free to play catalogue.
- Readers who play on a phone or in a browser rather than on a console.
- Fans of casual, racing and card titles who like a publisher running a broad line-up.
Who should look elsewhere
- Players after a console release, since the catalogue runs on phones and in browsers.
- Players who want a live support line for a payment problem.
- Players who want a set price per game up front, given the free to play entry.
The company behind it
Zynga publishes under the legal name Zynga Inc., with its registered address in the United States. The company began as a project by Mark Pincus in 2007 and has grown into a publisher whose games sit on phones and in browsers under the same corporate party rather than a scatter of sellers. For a reader weighing catalogues, that matters: the company behind a session stays the same as the player moves between titles, and a payment or account problem has a named party to go to.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to play Zynga games?+
Zynga charges nothing to enter a game. The price model is free to play, so a reader can open a title and start without a purchase, and there is no subscription that renews on a set date. The entry price is easy to weigh; what a session costs is a separate choice the player makes inside a game.
Which devices can I play Zynga games on?+
Zynga's games run on phones and in a browser, so a reader can play on whichever screen is to hand without a console in the middle. Both formats come from the same company, Zynga Inc., which has shipped titles since 2007.
What kinds of games does Zynga publish?+
The line-up reaches casual, racing and card play, with simulation, strategy and role play work alongside it. Titles such as Zynga Poker and Toon Blast sit in the catalogue, and each carries the same free to play entry, so a quick puzzle round and a longer campaign open the same way.
Who runs Zynga and where is the company based?+
The company behind the games is Zynga Inc., registered in the United States. A player dealing with the catalogue is dealing with a named corporate party, which is what a payment dispute or an account problem needs, and it points to who answers a support question.
How long has Zynga been making games?+
Zynga was founded as a project by Mark Pincus in 2007, and the company has shipped a wide catalogue since then, from Empires & Puzzles to Zynga Poker. That length of run matters to a reader weighing a free catalogue, because it points to an established operation rather than a short-lived launch.
How do I get help with a Zynga account or purchase?+
Player questions are handled through a help centre and a community forum, and both sit under Zynga Inc., the company that publishes the catalogue. A reader with an account or purchase problem lands there in writing, which suits anyone who would rather read an answer than wait on a call.
