Campfire - Actually fun remote socials

Thanks @mwseibel- I’m Siamak from  Campfire 🪵🔥 & we’re helping remote teams have actually fun virtual socials! 🟥 By now, we’ve all been in a work Zoom “social” where every second felt like a lifetime and you just couldn’t wait to hit that big read Leave button. 😥 Remote team socials suck & teams are having a hard time finding fun things to do together online to feel connected. 🎲 We solve this by giving teams a multiplayer game world that’s constantly updated with new games and activities for socials like happy hours and watercooler chats. 💻 We’re live in early release with Netflix, Lattice, Github and 30+ more leading remote and hybrid companies! 🔨 I’m a 2x metaverse founder (first co was a multiplayer AR startup). Before that I worked at Peloton and Microsoft. My co-founder, Sina, was a growth PM @ SaaS unicorn League. Our first engineer is an ex senior eng from Snapchat & Amazon. 👀 We want to make remote work less isolating, and beyond that, to offer a more fulfilling way for people to communicate & share experiences while physically apart.

Nice idea! It should be super helpful and fun for the remote teams 🔥

Hi everyone 👋🏼 Sina from Campfire here. Really excited to be building this platform to help teams have fun together and stay connected. The fun element has definitely taken a back seat until now in remote settings for the last 2 years, but not anymore. We want to make remote life and more generally digital interactions more engaging than just staring at a 2D Zoom panel. The future of telecommunication is in 3D spaces to enhance it. It’s like going from Fax, to email, to FaceTime 🖨 -> 📧 -> 📱 We’re just getting started, and really excited about this journey. Hope that you can join us on the ride to building a better future for remote work globally and keeping teams connected ✌🏼

@Campfire is awesome! As soon as you step in everything feels more casual and friendly, which is great for team get togethers! I love the functionality of only hearing those that you're sitting with, really gives a cool feel to whole company calls as opposed to a ton of tiny faces on a stale zoom setting.

These games actually look super fun, I think most apps/games available now are renditions of each other and remakes of already popular games. These activities look genuinely fun to do :)

Siamak, Much needed theses days. Congrats on the Launch 🚀

I’ve seen Campfire bloom into this super awesome product and this is just the beginning 😎🪵🔥

@infr should we try this out :D

Campfire is super fun! Having a playground to be in with your co-workers in a remote environment is so much more interesting than Zoom or other tools. Remote cultures are hard to build and I'm grateful people are trying to create tools to help companies transition from offices to global collaboration. We have 40 people across 10 countries. The culture of work is changing and it's so exciting!

We've been using this for over a month now for Friday hangouts and a short "watercooler" meeting each week. It's been great fun and adds a new dimension to the casual team chats!
