Zynga has also enlisted celebrities on this version of the game, including the pop performers Will.i.am and Carly Rae Jepsen, so that their fans can see their drawings through the application as well.

Zynga has big hopes for Draw Something 2
The original Draw Something had one of the most successful app launches of all time, leading Zynga to purchase developer OMGPOP for $180 million, but has since suffered a declining userbase.

It functions similarly to “Pictionary” where it asks players to draw images based on selected words and asking their opponents and friends to guess what it is.
Zynga says that so far, people appear to be interested in Draw Something 2 and has a “huge potential to grow”.
“We want to reactivate people who played and loved Draw Something 1 but lapsed,” Travis Boatman, a senior vice president of mobile at Zynga, said.
