ReVamp takes on the 'imposter' fad triggered by online deception games, in this multiplayer imposter game users have to find out who the vampire player is among their group of friends. Players have to complete renovation tasks that are ongoing while they defeat the vampire. This will be the first social deception title to be available on Snapchat.

Bernard Kim, President - Publishing, Zynga shares, "We are excited to continue our partnership with Snap to create fun new snackable games that fit seamlessly with their platform’s highly social mechanics".

Pany Haritatos, Head - Snap Games, Snap Inc states, "Zynga was one of the first developers to launch a title on Snapchat. Since our partnership began, we’ve been impressed by how their development teams work to define the social gaming space as well as bring fun new game concepts and content creation to our community. As our games platform continues to grow, titles like ReVamp highlight the platform’s evolution and potential".
