AviaGames has been named a finalist in the 2026 Shorty Awards for its Wonderland Wishes campaign in the Video Series category, a recognition that highlights excellence in digital storytelling and brand campaigns. With past honorees including major names like Disney, Spotify, and YouTube, this milestone reflects both the creativity behind the campaign and the strong community that supported it. The initiative was designed to connect gameplay with real-world impact, allowing Solitaire Clash players to earn “Wish Stars” through in-game events, which were then converted into donations for foster youth. Over five weeks, the community generated more than 691 million Wish Stars, resulting in a $136,000 contribution to Foster Love.
To expand its reach, AviaGames partnered with creator and foster care advocate Leo Gonzalez and produced the Solitaire Without the Solitude video series, along with livestream and in-person events that brought players and advocates together. The campaign also highlighted real player stories through the Beyond the Game series, emphasizing the human impact behind the initiative. Alongside being a Shorty Awards finalist, Wonderland Wishes was also recognized by the Digiday Video & TV Awards, reinforcing its influence across digital media as AviaGames continues to create experiences that combine engaging gameplay with meaningful purpose.
