Fair point.

Yes, please go ahead use it in the talk, upload on YouTube and use it wherever else you want :)

A lot of people are working remotely for the first time and it can lead to a feeling of isolation and having no social bond with the team.

While we are solving for the larger problem by building games teams can play together within Slack with our product called Bored, this is our attempt to bring some fun and banter to everyday standups on Zoom.

There are 30 different icebreaker backgrounds, one for each day of the month. The scrum master puts up a new one everyday and everyone answers the question on it for some good old banter.

Would love to know what you folks think.

We don't collect any GPS data.

Thanks.

Yes we definitely need to work on our website and bring out the games better.

Jubiwee looks very neat.

+100 on creating new online experiences that are not a typical Zoom call.

Awesome :)

Yes do have a very interesting new game that I can't wait to get in the hands of people. Should come out next week most likely.

But all ears to what other kinds of games would you like to play with your team.

We have 4 games right now:

- Who's the faker: A game all about accusation and deception. Lots of banter.

- Roastmasters: All about roasting your colleagues (SFW though)

- Trick or Trivia: New-age trivia with about 50 topics and 5K+ questions

- Give me a break: Activities and fun corners of the Internet for short breaks by yourself

Happy to take inputs on what other games to build - what else do you think would be fun to play with colleagues?

Thanks for the feedback.

Faker is a lot of fun - you should try it out!

Videos - makes sense. We will get one done soon.

Teams - for now, we are focused on Slack itself but as soon as we are ready to build for the next platform, Teams it would be.

Makes sense. Yeah I guess right now it's hard to understand what the games are with just these illustrations.

Oh no. Will get it fixed!

Spot the faker is a lot of fun though - my favorite game :)

Thanks for the feedback.

When you say a visual demo, does a Loom video work or a more professionally done one?
