From Startup to Standout: How Avia Rose Through the Mobile Gaming Ranks

When Avia (also known as Aviagames) stepped into the mobile gaming world, the industry was already swarming with flashy titles, endless in-app purchases, and games that relied more on chance than player ability. But Avia saw an opportunity, one not just rooted in gameplay, but on purpose. Founded with a clear vision to develop skill-based mobile games, the company aimed to redefine what it meant to compete and have fun on a smartphone. Instead of following trends, Avia set out to create experiences where everyday players, regardless of their skill level, could engage in casual yet competitive matches that prioritized simplicity and fair gaming.

At the time of Avia’s launch, the mobile gaming landscape was already expanding, with millions of users seeking quick, engaging experiences right from their phones. Avia entered this dynamic space with a focused mission: to create skill games that emphasized fairness, accessibility, and fun. With this vision, the company designed its platform to be intuitive and welcoming, making it easy for players, whether casual gamers or first-time players, to jump in and enjoy.

Filling the Market Gap

As mobile gaming gained popularity, a growing number of casual players began seeking experiences that offered more than just passive play. They wanted games that challenged their focus, rewarded practice, and gave them a sense of achievement. This rising interest in skill-based games highlighted a clear opportunity in the market: the need for games that were both easy to start and meaningful to play. Casual players weren’t necessarily looking for complexity; they were looking for games that respected their time while allowing them to think critically and let their abilities shine.

Avia responded to this need by focusing on fair, skill-driven gameplay rooted in accessible formats. By introducing traditionally inspired solitaire games like Solitaire Clash and Bingo Clash, inspired by the famous bingo game, games with simple mechanics and a familiar feel, Avia created a space where players could enjoy lighthearted competition while improving through practice. This thoughtful balance of ease and depth made the platform feel welcoming, especially to newbies, and it quickly found success among users who valued both entertainment and the satisfaction of skill-based play.

The Visionary

At the heart of Avia’s success is founder and CEO Vickie Chen, a recognized leader in the industry who has been featured in Forbes USA. Her vision has helped shape Avia’s player-first approach and inclusive company culture. As part of the Women in Games Corporate Ambassador Program, launched in 2018, Avia joins a global network committed to building a diverse, innovative, and thriving gaming industry. This people-focused leadership drives the company’s values of innovation, diversity, trust, and long-term engagement, creating a platform where both players and employees feel empowered and supported.
