Our Story
The roots of Rekog trace back to a creative family tradition started by Lou Imbrogno in the late 1970s. According to Fred Imbrogno (Lou's son), the game began with his parents crafting a unique entertainment experience that would span generations. His mother would carefully cut out pictures from magazines and the Sunday Parade, while his father meticulously taped these images to poster boards, creating a game that would become a cherished family tradition throughout the 1980s.
In the early 1990s, the game found its true calling during annual New Year's Eve holiday parties hosted by Fred Imbrogno and Debbie Elsinger. Building on Lou's original concept, they would create three large poster boards filled with magazine cutouts of celebrities, politicians, and public figures from the past year. Party-goers would form three teams and rotate through different areas of the house, each team getting 20 minutes with each board to collaborate and make their best guesses.
More than just a game, it became a unique bonding experience that brought people together, creating new friendships (and playful rivalries) with each round. The excitement of matching faces, sharing stories, and testing each other's pop culture knowledge transformed a simple guessing game into an unforgettable social experience. We reminisced about how much fun the game was, which sparked the ideation of Rekog that has now evolved into the digital age.
