The story

JamLegend was created by Andrew Lee, Arjun Lall, and Ryan Wilson in 2008. The company participated in the LaunchBox Digital 2008 summer cycle. The game was in private beta from August 2008 to December 2008 when the players needed invitations to access the game. On December 4, 2008, JamLegend became open-beta so players no longer needed invitations to register.

In March 2009, JamLegend reached 5 million plays. In July 2009, JamLegend reached Version 1, releasing new features.
