Zynga’s 'Harry Potter' Game Celebrates the Holidays

Zynga has announced that players of its “’Harry Potter:’ Puzzles & Spells” app can take part in the limited-time “Fantastic Feasts” event where they can collect recipe ingredients on their puzzle game boards to complete wizarding world-themed dishes, while earning special in-game rewards. 

Hosted by Madam Rosmerta, players will collect items ranging from cabbages and carrots to flour and cinnamon, gathering the required quantities and ingredients to complete recipes to create dishes including Cornish pasties and Christmas cake. As these dishes are completed, players will be treated to exclusive rewards like power-ups, trophies and unlimited lives. 

“As we head into the winter holidays, we wanted to honor the traditions of the wizarding world and invite players to a seat at the banquet table with a festive event that truly celebrates the season,” says Yaron Leyvand, executive vice president, games, Zynga. “We’re thrilled to bring the flavor and magic of the holidays to fans with the Fantastic Feasts event.” 

Other winter holiday-themed activities include collection events, where players will gather snowflakes, or brightly-wrapped gifts that drop to their game boards and the Holiday Season Pass that gives players the opportunity to complete activities for even bigger rewards.
