The '''Humpday Challenge''' is a weekly game which takes place between [[Bungie Studios]] workers and large Halo fan sites, active communities, and professional teams. Humpday Challenges always take place on Wednesday ("[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hump_day&redirect=no Hump Day]").  


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.
