Whirlwind fad is the only way to describe OMGPop's Draw Something. With zero publicity, the app somehow became a viral hit at the height of its runaway success in 2012. Draw Something wormed its way onto over 50 million phones within its first 50 days.

At its peak, over 3,000 drawings were made per second.
