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 āKerstbal?ā Well you do now. Letās learn more, itās fun!
Draw Something was absolutely everywhere last spring. During the East Coast Games Conference last April I found myself sitting at a restaurant with Epicās 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 havenāt touched Draw Something much since then, but that hasnāt 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 ā3x Reddit Front Pageā lurking amidst the bigger numbers. Three times! Thatās much more impressive than 11 million Lady Gaga drawings.
