Cellufun, also known as Tylted, is a social gaming community available on mobile devices. Users can create avatars to represent themselves. It blends chat and a large catalog of social games.
Cellufun partners with mobile operators, mobile device makers, and media companies such as AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS, Virgin Mobile, RIM, AOL, and USA Today to deliver branded entertainment and marketing.
Based on Wall Street in New York City, the company was founded in 2005 by Cary Torkelson, Arthur Goikhman and Stephen Dacek. For several years, the company relied on advertising as its sole source of revenue. In mid-2009, Tylted added a new revenue stream by introducing a premium virtual currency called "FunCoins" to complement the existing "earned" point system called Cellupoints. Cellufun's community, as of July 2009, consisted of over 2 million registered users. Cellufun passes 2m mobile gamers milestone Mobile Entertainment News

Its Gulf Rescue game, designed to raise awareness about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, donated a percentage of all virtual goods revenues to the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
