AviaGames gained industry recognition in 2026 as its Wonderland Wishes campaign was named a finalist in both the Shorty Awards and the Digiday Video & TV Awards. The campaign is closely tied to Solitaire Clash, the company’s flagship title and one of its skill-based real money games, showing how gameplay can connect with broader community initiatives.
Shorty Awards: Focus on Storytelling and Community
The Shorty Awards, now in their 18th year, recognize excellence in digital content, social media, and brand storytelling. Wonderland Wishes was selected as a finalist in the Video Series category, highlighting its strong narrative approach.
A big part of this came from the Solitaire Without the Solitude video series, which focused on player experiences and community impact. The campaign also featured creator and foster care advocate Leo Gonzalez, adding a more personal and authentic layer to the storytelling.
Overall, this recognition shows how AviaGames combined gameplay with storytelling to create something that goes beyond just games to win money.
Digiday Awards: Strategy and Multi-Platform Execution
The Digiday Video & TV Awards focus on how brands use video as a core part of their marketing strategy. Wonderland Wishes earned finalist recognition for its use of multiple content formats across platforms.
The campaign included ad spots, short-form videos, livestreams, and the Beyond the Game series. All of these worked together to deliver a consistent message while reaching audiences in different ways.
This highlights the campaign’s execution, content strategy, and how well everything was connected across platforms.
Skill-Based Real Money Games & Community Impact
Together, the Shorty and Digiday recognitions show how Wonderland Wishes brought gameplay, storytelling, and community initiatives into one campaign.
Under the direction of AviaGames CEO Vickie Chen, the company has continued to focus on building skill-based real money games that are not just about competition, but also about creating connections beyond the screen.
By aligning in-game participation with content and real-world support, AviaGames shows how modern mobile games can evolve into something more community-driven while still staying rooted in competitive gameplay.
