Hey folks, Sanket here, founder of Bored (https://www.bored.social). A lot of people are working remotely for the first time and it can lead to a feeling of isolation and having no social bond with the team. While we are solving for the larger problem by building games teams can play together within Slack with our product called Bored, this is our attempt to bring some fun and banter to everyday standups on Zoom. There are 30 different icebreaker backgrounds, one for each day of the month. The scrum master puts up a new one everyday and everyone answers the question on it for some good old banter. Tag us in your funniest replies on Twitter (https://twitter.com/boredonslack) and let us in on the fun! Cheers, Sanket

Imo this is too distracting for daily standups but will work great for other casual zoom meetings with colleagues/friends!

Hey @kirillgorokhov, it really depends on how the team wants to run the daily standups. For some it might be a distraction, and for others it helps lighten the mood. To each their own :). We hope teams can find many different use cases. Like you mentioned, this would be super fun with colleagues and friends. Family too!

@kirillgorokhov Yeah for sure. We like to chitchat a bit before we do our daily standups, so these icebreakers have been great to provide conversation starters or dig into things which we otherwise wouldn't think of. But I might be biased :)
