Draw Something was a video game developed by OMGPop based on its browser game Draw My Thing,[1] launched on February 6, 2012.[2] It won a Flurry App Spotlight Award in 2012.[3] In the first five weeks after its launching, the game was downloaded 20 million times.[4] On March 21, 2012, both Draw Something and OMGPop were bought by the gaming company Zynga for $180 million.[1] The game's popularity peaked on the day of the sale at 15 million daily active users,[5] and the number has been dropped to 10 million by early May.[6]

The game is available in a free version, which shows interstitial advertisements between games; a standard version which has no advertisements between games, but allows the player to obtain bombs in exchange for watching advertisements; and a more expensive Pro version for the iPad which offers unlimited bombs.

On April 25, 2013, Draw Something 2 was released for iOS. However, both games are no longer available.
