Toby Tumarkin and Patrick Martins invented The New York City Trivia Game, Howell Burnell designed and illustrated it, and Tatiana Sperhacke typeset the cards. The game was made possible by Bob Annibale.

Patrick Martins first saw New York when he was born and taken under the Klingenstein Pavilion awning at Mt. Sinai hospital in 1972. Patrick went onto to study at Vassar and NYU where he received his Masters in Performance Studies. Patrick is the President of Slow Food USA and editor-in-chief of its quarterly magazine.

Toby Tumarkin grew up on the East Side, and attended the Ethical Culture Fieldston schools.
After studying Psychology at Vassar College, he went on to receive his Post-Graduate in Voice at The Trinity College of Music in London. Toby is a Vice President at Columbia Artists Management.

Bob Annibale was born in New York before Patrick and Toby. He went on to study History and Political Science, at Vassar College, and at the University of London, where he received his Masters in African History. He subsequently lived in Athens, Bahrain, Nairobi and London, before returning to live on Union Square in New York. Bob is a Managing Director at Citigroup and is on a number of academic and non-profit boards.

Born in Ann Arbor, Howell Burnell studied at the University of London before he ever visited New York. He made up for this by earning an MFA in Design at the School of Visual Arts and is now Principal Designer at Charlie Creative.

Tatiana Sperhacke typeset all 600 NYTG cards. She is from Brazil where for seven years she ran her own design studio. She is a graduate of the Masters program in Design at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
