Make a custom game about your team
You can make a game about your team on Chatforce. Describe it in chat: a quiz about who said what in standup, a racing game on a track shaped like your office, or a platformer starring the team mascot. You can add reference images too.
A first playable version takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Play it, then ask for changes in chat until it feels right.
Multiplayer works by sharing a link. Once you publish the game, your coworkers can play it without an account. You can also play your games on our mobile app: Android is live, and iOS is coming soon.
How to run a game on a video call
Keep it simple so the game starts in a minute, not ten.
- Pick one person to host and paste the link in the call chat.
- Start with a short game so people who join late can play the next round.
- On a bigger call, split into teams, like in Codenames Online.
- Have the host explain the rules once before the first round.
