Bubble Safari is a defunct tile-matching social network game by Zynga. The object is to help a monkey named Bubbles reconnect with his friends. Following its May 2012 release, Bubble Safari became the fastest-growing Facebook game, with 1.9 million active users for the week of July 9.[1] PC Magazine ranked Bubble Safari as no. 5 on its Best Facebook Games list.[2] Arcade game designer Mark Turmell, noted for such games as NBA Jam, received credit for Bubble Safari’s development.[3] Bubble Safari is Zynga’s first arcade game, the first Zynga game released on Zynga.com and Facebook simultaneously, and the first game from Zynga San Diego.[4]
