Zynga teamed up with the Black Eyed Peas for #PlayApartTogether.

Black Eyed Peas and Zynga send holiday social-distancing message for #PlayApartTogether campaign

Zynga has teamed up with the Black Eyed Peas musical group to help keep us safe during the holidays.

As the pandemic hit earlier this year, Zynga rallied the game industry with its #PlayApartTogether campaign to encourage everyone to respect social distancing and play with each other remotely. That message was embraced by the World Health Organization, as well as many companies in the game industry. Now Zynga and the Black Eyed Peas are continuing the campaign to encourage people to have a healthy and happy holiday season while staying far enough apart to keep everyone safe.
