Looks like fun and great idea to aggregate those online experiences/activities for teams. I do have a bit of trouble to understand what you get from those activities? I watched a few of those activity movies, but it didn't explain what was going to happen? Do all members get an assignment? Is it more a presentation? A game?

Hi and thank you for the feedback! Each activity host has their own methodologies and each activity has a different outcome. I believe you raised a very god point thought. I will ask refocus the videos to be more direct on what to expect about them :)

Maybe its me but I am personally more of a text person, dont like to watch long videos if not needed, so if there is some summary or text at every activity that would definitely help me evaluate choose. Definitely see this as a pain point right now with everyone wfh!

As a member of my office's "Team Building Working Group" I have been looking for something exactly like this. Unfortunately our budget took a hit this year, but I think I will fight for some funds and try and make one of these activities happen.

Do you have an idea of a plan and timeline for adding more activity options?

The example activities are all listed as price/5-people. Do the costs scale linearly for larger groups?

Hi Chris! Thank you for your message! We are trying to be as fast as possible but maintain a quality level (we talk to each host before), so hope to add a couple of events more by the end of this month!

The activities shown in the webpage are real events that can be booked already. The price policy is determined by the hosts. But if you have hit your budget already I am sure that we could adapt to your needs! lmk @joalavedra

I like the overall idea - I did have trouble getting the audio to play with the videos. On Chrome (Mac), I had to hover the mouse over the volume slider for it to start playing audio, which wasn't super intuitive.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Yes that could be more intuitive, working on it :)

I had a similar idea and registered remoteteams.fun haha. Are the activities prerecorded or is there a live mediator?

joalavedraOP5y ago

Love the domain! haha Activities are live yes! Just added in the FAQs for clarity, thanks :)

Are these live events? I think they are from what I can tell on the site. I'd try to make that more clear.

I think a lot of teams would be really interested in this. You can only play so many games of Among Us as a team before it gets old.

Hi! Yes, all of them are live events! We have modified the web and will add it to the FAQs, appreciate the feedback! Big fan of Among us here too :)

A bit of UI design feedback - the single capital letters in the how it works section are confusing. It seemed to imply that "FHC" was a meaningful acronym. Might want to reconsider that choice.

joalavedraOP5y ago

Hey! Thanks for the feedback will give it a thought :)

Your cookie banner is not GDPR compliant, just a heads up.

You shouldn't load all that guff you load before asking and you should give me the option to say no.

joalavedraOP5y ago

Indeed! Next thing on our to-do list is to update a those. Thanks for the heads up :)

We believe this is a major pain point for companies! Organizing activities, allocation of budget, activity votations, invoicing, permissions, etc.

Working towards a dashboard for teams to manage this is now top priority! If anyone wants to collaborate for the alpha feel free o ping me on twitter. Thanks!

We love this idea! Next steps are to facilitate the way companies manage and book the activities with the event hosts.
