Zynga announced a slew of new Facebook games, add-ons and "express" versions of their social hits Tuesday, including CastleVille, Zynga Bingo and Dream Zoo.
The games -- announced at Zynga's Unleashed event at its new headquarters in San Francisco -- are part of the company's effort to expand into new genres such as hidden objects, animals and mobile.
Here's a shortlist of the games Zynga announced:
Hidden Chronicles: The company enters the "hidden objects" genre with Hidden Chronicles. The game is simple: Find hidden objects in still landscapes. And like any other Zynga game, friends can help a struggling user find hidden objects.
CastleVille: The newest "Ville" in Zynga's arsenal is CastleVille, a social game set in medieval times. The game, built by Zynga's Dallas office, employs many of the social game dynamics apparent in FarmVille, but also includes a virtual marketplace and a soundtrack created by a 75-piece orchestra and full choir.
Zynga Casino and Zynga Bingo: Zynga Poker GM Laurence Toney introduced Zynga Casino, an attempt to let players experience a "Vegas-style casino with their friends." In addition, the social gaming giant has launched a new social game: Zynga Bingo, which is essentially a way to play Bingo with your Facebook friends.
Dream Zoo: Players can collect exotic animals with Zynga's newest mobile game, Dream Zoo. The game, available in the iOS App Store, lets users collect animals, including polka-dotted giraffes.
FarmVille Express: Players can soon access key FarmVille actions through a new mobile HTML5 game built on the Facebook Platform. FarmVille Express doesn't have the functionality of the desktop version, but users can check notifications and accept requests.
Mafia Wars Shakedown: Zynga will soon launch a companion iOS game for Mafia Wars 2 called Mafia Wars Shakedown.
