It was founded by a group of former LucasArts employees who had been working on Sam & Max Freelance Police, a sequel to the 1993 game Sam & Max Hit the Road, prior to its cancellation on March 3, 2004. The company's CEO is Dan Connors who heads the company alongside Kevin Bruner and Troy Molander. The Telltale Games team have a large collective experience of working on notable adventure games, some of which include Grim Fandango, Monkey Island and Sam & Max.
On February 11, 2005 the company released their first game — Telltale Texas Hold'em, a poker card game simulator. The game was solely available through electronic distribution from Telltales' and other websites. Later that month on February 22, 2005 it was announced that the company would also be developing an adventure game based on the intellectual property of Jeff Smith and his Bone comic book series. Bone is to be released gradually through electronic distribution in episodic chapters, the first episode of which was released in September 2005.
Closely following the release of Bone: Out from Boneville the first episode of Bone, Telltale Games announced that they would be creating a new Sam & Max computer game, which would be released in the same episodic fashion. In May 2006, Telltale announced that the Sam & Max episodes would be shorter, more frequent, and self-contained than the episodes of Bone, and would be made available via the GameTap game distribution service.
In November 2005, Ubisoft announced that Telltale was developing the next game for the popular CSI: Crime Scene Investigation television series. This is currently the most popular television show in America, with all of the top five viewed shows during the fall season of 2005 being episodes of CSI. The game was released March 14, 2006.
