GameDuell currently offers some 65 different games in seven languages on their website. A number of these games are also available on social network sites, like Facebook, as well as on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. More than 210 team members from 26 countries are working on the international success, a good half of the team is employed in the product area, game development and technology. For the company’s 10th anniversary the team compiled a series of interesting numbers and facts about GameDuell in their company blog. According to the fun facts infographic, over 2 billion multiplayer rounds have been played on the games platform since 2004. For this, the development team wrote over 1.3 million lines of programming code. Moreover, GameDuell has gathered events from the company history in an interactive timeline, and on the company website there is also a company history graph available to celebrate the company anniversary.
