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 have built social/banter filled games to play right within Slack called Bored.
The games are not the typical team games - they involve accusing and deceiving people, roasting your colleagues and the like.
If that sounds like your thing and you are on Slack, you can install it from https://bored.social/
Yes we definitely need to work on our website and bring out the games better.
+100 on creating new online experiences that are not a typical Zoom call.
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.
- 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?
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.
Spot the faker is a lot of fun though - my favorite game :)
When you say a visual demo, does a Loom video work or a more professionally done one?
Yes, please go ahead use it in the talk, upload on YouTube and use it wherever else you want :)
