On this day (March 20, 2007), Puzzle Quest was first introduced to the world with the launch of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords on Nintendo DS and Sony PSP by D3Publisher (developed by Infinite Interactive). With this launch, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords became the original match-3 RPG™ and with its innovative gameplay and fanfare, the game went on to win numerous awards, including Best Downloadable Game at the Interactive Achievement Awards. For many, the battle to acquire a copy at launch was a challenge due to the popularity and limited quantity but the game finally became available everywhere in both stores and digital release.

Since the launch of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, where players became victorious in their battle to save the Kingdom of Etheria from the evil Lord Bane, new iterations have launched on PC, consoles and handheld devices including, Puzzle Quest Revenge of the Plague Lord, Puzzle Quest Galactrix, and Puzzle Quest 2.

In 2013, Marvel Puzzle Quest was released and has amassed millions of downloads, more than 100 characters from the Marvel Universe, and rose up the App Store and Google Play charts. As of early March 2017, Marvel Puzzle Quest has grossed more than 100 million dollars in sales. Since the launch of Marvel Puzzle Quest, both Adventure Time Puzzle Quest and Magic: The Gathering – Puzzle Quest have been released on the App Store and Google Play delighting fans with fun and imaginative gameplay.

In honor of the 10-Year Anniversary, the following special offers are available for a limited time:

    It's been a decade already...? Wow, time flies!

    I'm glad I actually managed to get a physical cartridge for my DS at the time!

    As for the Magic portion of the event today, I've seen the sale already - but not the 100 mana crystals for logging in. Is something up right now, or have I not seen it yet?

    Incidentally, if anyone has never played Puzzle Quest:Challenge of the Warlords, I highly recommend it. It is truly amazing. One of my favorite games ever. (PQ2 and Galactrix, sadly, never lived up to it's legacy).

    I own both the PS3 versions and the Steam version; the PS3 version comes bundled with the expansion, Revenge of the Plague Lord, but the Steam version does not, as it was never released for PC. There is, however, a fan mod which allows (the vast majority of) the expansion to be played on PC.

    I totally agree, I still have really fond memories of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. When I saw this game, Puzzle Quest: Magic the Gathering, two of my favorite games combined, it was an instant success in my book!

    All duplicates in the pack. The free 100 crystals made me lose 500 of my hard earned crystals. Thanks so very much for releaseing Tezzeret right after you steal my runes.

    What a better way to celebrate your anniversary! Nothing says congratulations and shows more appreciation than disappointing your customers by offering them bundle deals that give 10 years worth of exhilarating dissatisfied! I bought the 10th anniversary 600 crystal disappointment pack and Im glad I havent supported D3 for the past 10 years....In fact after about 1 year...They have run me off...Great job...It must really suck to be so greedy....Thanks for breaking my addiction to your game and
    NOT.ANOTHER.DIME.

    MORTAL. YOU HAVE SPOKEN MY NAME AND THUS SUMMONED ME INTO YOUR DIMENSION.

    FOR TIMELESS ETERNITIES HAVE I DRIFTED, LOST IN THE SWIRLING VOIDS OF NOTHINGNESS (OR 90 DAYS, WHICHEVER IS SOONER).

    YOUR INCANTATIONS HAVE FINALLY ALLOWED ME TO REMANIFEST MY CORPOREAL BODY ON YOUR PLANE OF EXISTENZ, AND I BRING YOU THIS MESSAGE: I FULLY ENDORSE EVERYPORT'S POST AS HE SPEAKETH THE TRUTH.

    NOW I'M OFF TO GET A BAGEL.

    ALL THIS IS A BIT OFF-TOPIC, ISN'T IT. I HOPE NO-ONE MINDS.
