Cellufun is a New York City based mobile game developer and mobile social networking site.

Founded in 2005, Cellufun focuses on creating real-time, multi-player games for mobile phones that can be used by old phones with WAP browsers, as well as newer, more sophisticated phones. Cellufun differs from other Mobile Game Companies in that all of its content and features are provided free as long as the mobile phone user has a data plan to access the Internet on his/her phone.

Cellufun's emphasis on social networking as well as multi-player gaming has created a community with over 500,000 daily users of its MobilePet application [PocketGamer.co.uk [http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Mobile/MobilePet+myPhone/news.asp?c=3509 Mobile news, MobilePet myPhone, Pocket Gamer] 2007-07-03.] .
