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 on photos, at least.

While the gaming destination as a whole did not work out, people enjoyed playing the social/party games we built and they led to a lot of banter.

So when we were trying to figure what next, we thought why not bring that banter to the workplace? While remote work is great, a lot of the team bonding/camaraderie that happens through random chitchat is really missing. And we thought social games are a great way for teams to socialize and build camaraderie.

So here we are. Bored brings social games to right where you work - Slack.

Would love to know what you folks think of it.

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.

Looks promising... I'll try it with my team later today.
