Wow, we're thrilled by everyone's questions and responses to the Remotely Platform! We've been on this journey for a little over three years and the world and marketplace has changed and developed rapidly. We're inspired by the fact that there are people out there who feel the same way about remote team engagement as we do! 🥰

I love this and think it has loads of potential for use in education. I added to my list of curated tools for education at: https://www.scoop.it/topic/tools... Thanks

@nik_peachey Thank you for checking us out! Yes, we think so too! Earlier last month we hosted an Otago University lecture in Remotely. Students really enjoyed engaging with the lesson virtually. Thank you for your interest.

How does my team benefit from playing a game together?

@woody2007 thank you for your interest in Remotely. That is a great question! Remotely games are specifically designed to improve communication and provide a platform for remote workers to have fun together. Communication in the workplace is really important and even more so when you need to bridge distance. Forest Feud is a game that encourages players to pick up on visual cues, help teammates to communicate their needs, and listen to the needs of others. It's our hope that these practices repeated in a risk free environment (like a game) will be become second nature in remote work and help the team to form stronger bonds and improved communication. We'd love to hear what your team thinks of the games. Please keep in touch.

@gene_harris thanks for the reply. I think I'll give this a go next week for our weekly stand up. Is it easy to set up? I don't want to spend ages getting set up.

@woody2007 Social connection in a remote working team is critical for communication and team morale. Its a great way to really get to know your team mates. A company's informal social network informs it's culture. So critical for a remote working team.

@woody2007 no problem at all. It's a browser based application, so no downloads are required. You can simply share a link with a colleague and after onboarding they can join you directly. We do recommend scheduling to allow users to set up their preferences, but this only takes a few moments. From the Hub you can have a stand up, and then make your way to a game, no need to exit out or reload, it's all in one place.

@gene_harris Okay you've convinced me to give it a go. If I run into any issues is there support or a Q&A?

What do you need to run it? Do I download anything?

Congrats on the launch! Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is Remotely a web3 app?

@sunkim thank you for your support! That is an excellent question! Remotely is built in Web2 technology, but that being said we have purposefully designed reusable assets that have application into Web3. This is why we've chosen to build 3D avatars, game assets and environments. At some point in the near future we'd like to be a part of the emerging remote work metaverse 🌌

@sunkim oh wow, I didn't even think of that. Imagine being able to travel virtually from remote work to parts of the Metaverse! 🤯

@sunkim @whatchuptu Exactly. We focussed on building the community first, but absolutely know that the metaverse is on the cards for Remotely-especially when we add economy and rewards :)

I’ve never played a video game in my life - how do I get started?

@emma_esencia_merin Hi Emma, oh how exciting, you’re going to really enjoy this. Once you’ve made an account - we have a great onboarding tutorial to bring you up-to-speed with how to move your avatar. We’ve purposely designed user friendly controls, so that avatar movement is intuitive. These same controls apply to everything inside the Remotely Hub, including the games.

@emma_esencia_merin That's right-not everyone is a gamer. The tutorial makes it super easy to understand. Try playing with a friend to start and work through it together.

Hi guys! Do teams play games everyday or on certain days?

@boris_cuevas Thanks for your interest in Remotely Boris. It comes down to the individual team culture. Some of the teams we've observed kick the week off with a quick game or use their lunch to hang out and perhaps play, whilst others use it exclusively on a Friday afternoon. What is clear for us, is that structured and repeated games help the team to bond and improve communication. Our advice is ask your team how they'd like to play, try it out and get more feedback from them.

@boris_cuevas Hello Boris, its been really interesting to see how teams are utilising the platform and how and when they play games. We definitely see a peak on Mondays and Fridays, where teams start and finish the week with a team social event. Likewise, the meeting rooms and interactable's are used all week long. Of course, some teams play games much more often.

@boris_cuevas We use the platform every day for our general standups and end of week team catch ups. We have some teams who use both, some who play more games during the week, others who host meetings and lectures. It's really up to the team how they might set up their team's day.
