They Said Draw Something. You Drew 11 Billion Somethings.

Zynga celebrates a year of the once insanely-popular social mobile game Draw Something by letting the world know how much time and productivity it wasted via a stat-filled infographic. Did you know the most popular word in The Netherlands is ā€œKerstbal?ā€ Well you do now. Let’s learn more, it’s fun!

Draw Something was absolutely everywhere last spring. During the East Coast Games Conference last April I found myself sitting at a restaurant with Epic’s Mark Rein and several of my journalist cohorts, most of us hunched over our various iThings attempting to suss out sketches and share our own. I actually bought a stylus to play the game. I have no idea where that stylus is now.

In fact I haven’t touched Draw Something much since then, but that hasn’t stopped the rest of the world from kicking out some 11 billion drawings, spending a cumulative 28,000 years doing so.

My favorite stat of them all is that ā€œ3x Reddit Front Pageā€ lurking amidst the bigger numbers. Three times! That’s much more impressive than 11 million Lady Gaga drawings.
