abstract	Challenge Games was founded in 2006 with the mission of creating online, short-form games that are challenging, fun and easy to play whether you're a serious or casual gamer. The big idea was to create cool games that can be played in 3-10 minute time increments anytime, from anywhere. While many of today's popular online games, like World of Warcraft and Everquest, allow players to explore vast fantasy worlds, they require huge time commitments and are considered "monogamous" in nature, because they take hours to play. The games created by Challenge Games provide "quick-fix" entertainment for both the hardcore and casual gamer alike. As an added benefit, although the games are multiplayer in nature, players can participate in the action when it's convenient for them. The first title released by Challenge Games was Duels, a free online multiplayer fantasy game that combines the head-to-head play, collectibility and trading associated with collectible card games (CCGs) - like Magic: The Gathering and Yug-i-oh - and the level advancement and character development of massively multi-player games (MMORPGs) with the ease of access and community aspects of Web 2.0 applications. Duels is also available as a Facebook application. Duels and other games developed by Challenge Games are free. Players have the option to trade or sell items to other players and they can even sign up for VIP memberships for a small subscription fee. Challenge Games is the brainchild of Andrew Busey, creator of web-based chat and author of one of the first online gaming books - Secrets of the MUD Wizards. An avid gamer himself, Andrew has led, developed and contributed to numerous "Multi-User Dungeon" or "Multi-User Domain" (MUDs) games, which were the early predecessors to games like World of Warcraft and Everquest.
