Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for the feedback. When you say a visual demo, does a Loom video work or a more professionally done one?

Simple screenshots of games in action would do it for me.

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

The faker game sounds fun! Page would be much easier to read if there were videos of the games.

Any plans of launching for Teams? I guess bigger companies (who were already on outlook) have heavily adopted Teams (and I believe these games might be something that HR teams at bigger companies might be interested in).

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.

What sort of games do you have now and what other games do you have in mind?

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?

The games are fun. We played it with our team, and it does bring a few laughs out (we did have the zoom on, by side). Are you folks launching more games?

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 keep looking for ways to recreate the fun atmosphere of an office hangout or party. this looks interesting.

and i agree with another comment - you should add more context to the website about how the games will look/play like in slack.

I was building a social gaming destination which tanked. The idea was to have a bunch of games (casual + social/party) and a bunch of friends in one single place. And also have all the banter that happens around these games, especially the social/party games, in the same place. So even if you are not in the mood to actively play, you can just participate in the banter which is also great fun. Better than commenting o…

Any thoughts to bring it to a place like discord? It sounds like it'd be great for something outside of work too, while we're all on lpckdown anyway.
