A week before Pictionary was first launched, Angel Games' printing company called to inform them that they could not sort through the 500,000 cards they had printed out. Īngel and his business partners Terry Langston and Gary Everson first published Pictionary in 1985 through Angel Games. While originally hesitant to pitch the idea, Angel was inspired by Trivial Pursuit, the gameplay of which was similar to his concept and proved to him that such gameplay could work and be successful. Angel and his roommates came up with the concept of the game, which proved to be very popular between them. The concept of Pictionary was first created by Robert Angel and his friends in 1981.
