@shivi_jalota Tell us about it! We were sick and tired of not being able to connect with our teammates and that's why we built this product. We hope Recess brings some joy back to your everyday team bonding time in casual, light and fun ways 🌟

My team and I look forward to answering (and guessing!) Recess questions all week. We love it. It's a nice break in between meetings & work. We get to discover things about teammates we otherwise never would. Thanks, Recess!

Recess has helped our team get to know about each other more and I feel closer to my teammates now. Seeing answers is something that I look forward to every work day now!

This is not just another API or comm platform, but it’s contextually and provides smarts so you don’t have to. It allows customization, but also out the box, it already covers the bases. They didn’t make something that exists “better”, they made something new “work” and work well. Good luck on PH 🤙

@carpemedtravel Thanks Ken! CarpeMed was one of our earliest customers. We've learnt a lot from their feedback.

Just installed Recess in our Design Buffs Slack group. Let's see what the team things, but so far, it's really cool and easy to use.

I love this, I just wish it wasn't in any way connected with Facebook/Meta. Seeing "By clicking Submit, you agree to Meta's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy" once installed and submitting my first response is kind of chilling.

@lee_fuhr I apologize you feel that way. We're part of NPE within Meta, which runs in an isolated manner from rest of Meta. We enforce a restricted and strict data policy. Your workspace data is only used to provide your workspace members the best experience on Recess. It is fully isolated from any other Meta product.

Do you have any information on how the data you collect will be used?

@ckpleiser The data policy is shared on the website teamrecess.com. But at a high-level, we enforce a strict data use policy. The data from your workspace will only be used to provide the best Recess experience for your workspace. It is kept fully isolated with any other Meta product.

Review Recess?

Reviewers say Recess works best as a lightweight way for remote and distributed teams to stay connected through prompts, icebreakers, and small games. People repeatedly praise its simple setup, low-pressure async format, flexible timing, and mix of playful and more thoughtful questions, saying it helps teammates learn about each other, laugh a bit, and makes work conversations feel easier. A small note of caution: engagement depends on the team. For some groups it becomes a lasting habit, while others lose interest or use it less once the team is already established.
