Each year, just as the leaves are beginning to change color and fall, thousands of sporty runners flock to Berlin for the annual Berlin Marathon. The event, spread across two days, begins on Saturday with the Bambini Run, a 500 and 1,000 meter run for children, a mini Marathon and Inline skating marathon. On Sunday, the main event takes place with wheelchair users, hand bikers and elite runners or individuals seeking to achieve a personal best. Of course, no sporting event in Berlin would seem complete without the participation of GameDuell team members. Stefan, a Java Developer with GameDuell since 2005, running his 4th Berlin Marathon completed the course in 03:58:47, a new personal best time. Christian, a flash game developer, also running in his 4th Berlin Marathon, who’s worked on the hit game Belote, completed the run in 03:08:17.

The monthly free game calendar is underway at GameDuell! For the entire month of September, players will be challenged by the Joker to a free daily duel! Each day a different game will pose another challenge. If players defeat the Joker, they can earn free GameDuell currency which can be used to play other duels.

GameDuell invites the Berlin tech community to the next edition of its TechTalk event series. On September 10th 2014 Nicolas Cannasse will introduce the audience to the cross-platform toolkit Haxe that he has developed in the recent years. The evening lecture will start at 19:00, doors open at 18:30.

GameDuell hosted the monthly meet up of the Berlin Mini Game Jam on Saturday July 26th. With around 80 artists, game designers, coders and programmers from many different countries and age range present, this was the largest Berlin Mini Game Jam to date.

GameDuell's newest multiplayer web game, Balloon Blast, is now available on gameduell.com! Set against the backdrop of a circus ring, players take turns shooting down their opponents' balloons as quickly as possible. Three main characters, a fire eater, a lion tamer and a knife thrower, all with very special skills guide the player through the game.
