| The '''Humpday Challenge''' was a weekly game which took place between [[Bungie Studios]] employees and large ''Halo'' fan sites, active communities, and professional teams. Humpday Challenges always took place on Wednesday. | | The '''Hump day Challenge''' is an event where every Wednesday (Hump Day) [[Bungie]] staff have it out with a fan site, group or pretty much anyone in a three game Halo shootout.

| Numerous communities hoped to challenge Bungie Studios, but few were selected. To be selected by Bungie for a Humpday Challenge was a challenge in itself. Bungie Studios did not take skill into account when choosing opponents, rather, they picked teams to play based on community activity. Other companies or groups that had some kind of niche were picked most often. Bungie did not seek to play the best players, but to gain mutual publicity from the coverage that a Humpday Challenge brought, usually playing administrators or community leaders from prolific websites.

Their interest isn't in beating the best but in mutal publicity that the Hump challange brings. Bungie plays for fun, and probably enjoys winning against non-professional players. Just lately the Halopedia community itself was challenged to a humpday challenge. |
| Bungie has regularly played various groups during the challenge, and some have had the honor to play the company twice. A list of opponents Bungie has played includes: | |
