Social Lounge

Your team's place to connect beyond work

Lounge is your team's place to socialize beyond work. It's where you naturally get to know your colleagues whether you belong to a remote, hybrid, or onsite team, by playing lightweight team-building activities together.

πŸ˜ͺΒ : β€œI hate mandatory fun and pointless team-building exercises..” 🧐 : β€œYou are wrong. Now, sit down and tell me one fun fact about yourself.” - From a trending Reddit post Hi Product Hunt πŸ‘‹ If that joke made you chuckle, we are on the same page. Team building naturally happensΒ when the right environment is provided, but today's mixed presence (remote, hybrid) situation makes it so much harder to get to know each other at scale. Last month, we decided to fully pivot away from the previous Lounge, which focused on communication use cases like audio/screensharing/screen recording/messaging. This all-new Lounge was created from scratch to asynchronously spark natural conversations for teams with distance-agnostic (onsite/hybrid/remote πŸ‘ŒπŸ») set of activities. πŸ“Έ Team Minute: Unlike posting on Slack, photos are organized by people and timeline. It’s like an interactive team yearbook that helps you get to know each other better at their own pace. πŸ‘Ÿ Steps Challenge: Effortless steps challenge with your teammates. - πŸ™Œ Reach the daily goal of 10K steps - πŸ₯‡ Win the daily challenge - 🌎 Compete with other teams through a global leaderboard -Coming soon- 🧩 Daily quiz: Guess the phrase πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ Meditation: Daily streaks πŸ“£ Then, at the end of each day, Lounge will share the daily summary via your designated Slack channels like #random #watercooler #pets. We look forward to your feedback and suggestions for this new launch. Thank you for your time!

I love Lounge! It is such an easy app to use to help build your team culture and really help you get to know everyone on your team. Lounge is tackling a massive challenge right now with remote teams feeling connected and unified. So excited about what it has been doing for our team at ZeeMee!
Alex

I don't get it. What are the 3D environments for? This is a like a team-restricted Instagram?
Alex
@chrismessina Hi Chris! It's a standalone iOS /webapp filled with team building activities like team photos, steps challenge, and more to come (Wordle-inspired games, etc). At the end of each day, we post the daily summary of day in life from everyone (pictures), and the winners of steps challenge! *3D is just the visual branding elements for now, but more on that coming soon

@alexyoungkwon ah ha, got it β€” thank you for clarifying!

As a remote team, it's really hard to find good activities to play. The best part of one of the features - the step counting competition - is that the steps are passively tallied. No need to actively input or interact or chase down people to participate, so it's super convenient. I end up checking it multiple times to make sure I'm not the laziest one on the team! Really excited for the upcoming features like the daily quiz and other types of games too.
Alex
@bonam Thank you Bo! Daily Quiz is in progress, so excited to have it out very soon so that your team game time can be automated with a solid leaderboard to help you work less for each social!

Very creative founder & team working on something important: making work more fun for everyone and helping teammates form strong bonds. Keep an eye on @alexyoungkwon!
Alex
@abenzer Thank you, Alex! Means so much to hear that from you. Definitely a universal problem with nebulous "solutions" that can be so much better - Such an interesting time to build!
