HISTORY OF TWISTER

In 1966, the Milton Bradley Company released a new game called Twister. It was the first game that used players’ bodies as playing pieces, requiring them to bend and stretch in challenging positions. The object of the game was to outmaneuver your opponents by placing your hands and feet on the coloured circles as directed by the spinner. Anyone who falls, or lets an elbow or a knee touch the mat, is out of the game. The winner is the last player who is able to stay balanced on the mat.

Milton Bradley had low expectations for Twister’s success and at first, game sales was slow. But an appearance on the “Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson changed everything. On May 3, 1966 Carson played a game of Twister with his guest for that evening, Eva Gabor. The audience went wild with laughter as the two celebrities stretched their bodies into unusual positions, challenging each other’s dexterity. The sight of Johnny sprawled on the mat with Eva Gabor sent Americans rushing to stores to buy their own Twister.
