The biggest challenge to browser and social games today lies in the fact that their play is almost entirely single-player and asynchronous. This completely negates the "social" in social games. In this session, Osma Ahvenlampi and Teemu Huuhtanen discuss the potential for synchronous, real-time social gaming through the lens of 11 years of success with Habbo Hotel, the world's largest social game and community for teens.
