Dharma “Karma Crate” on Zynga’s Treasure Isle

Lost is making a small appearance in Facebook application giant, Zynga’s, newest game, Treasure Isle. A new free gift called the “Karma Crate” shows a striking resemblance to the Dharma logo from Lost! Whether this was an intentional nod to Lost from Zynga, I don’t know!

When you hover over the “Karma Crate”, it says “Everything a stranded survivor needs!”
