In February 2026, AviaGames CEO Vickie Chen, spoke with Women-Led Games about her journey in mobile gaming and the ideas that shaped the company. In the interview, she explained that AviaGames was built around two values: community and purpose. Instead of following short-term trends, Vickie focused on creating games that are competitive while still accessible to many players.
Vickie shared that the concept for AviaGames started with a simple observation. Many games at the time were designed mainly for experienced players, making them difficult for others to enjoy. In 2016, Vickie and her partner launched AviaGames in a garage in Mountain View with the goal of building skill-based games that are easy to learn but still rewarding to play. Since then, the company has expanded its portfolio with multiple titles across card games, bingo games, and other competitive mobile formats.
During the conversation, Chen also highlighted Solitaire Clash, one of the company’s most recognized titles. The game has surpassed 60 million downloads and hosts hundreds of millions of tournaments each month. Its performance shows the continued popularity of mobile card games designed around fair competition and consistent gameplay.
The interview also discussed how AviaGames keeps players engaged. Chen explained that mobile games require constant updates and live content because players regularly switch between apps and platforms. To address this, AviaGames releases regular updates and in-game events to keep its money games and other titles active for players.
Chen also spoke about the company’s charitable partnerships. In September 2025, AviaGames worked with Nevada SPCA on the Play for Paws campaign. Matches played in Solitaire Clash and Bingo Tour contributed to donations totaling over $220,000 and 14,000 pounds of dog food. Later in 2025, the Wonderland Wishes campaign with Foster Love raised $136,000 to support foster youth.
Vickie’s leadership continues to guide AviaGames as it develops competitive mobile experiences, including real cash games, bingo games, and card games.
