Hey folks 👋 I’m Pallavi, co-founder of Ricotta Trivia 🧀 We're super excited to share our trivia and icebreakers Slack app with you all! And a massive thanks to @kevin for introducing us to the community. We all have experienced a shift in the way we work and of course, one of the biggest challenges has been keeping our team motivated and preventing burn out. We built Ricotta Trivia to help remote teams drive their employee engagement and build a positive team culture. 🌱 How it started Like a lot of remote work tools, Ricotta was born during the lockdown - ‘overworked’, ‘burn out’ and ‘non-social’ being common workplace problems. We spoke to about 150 people, HRs and employee engagement managers and found out that we were not alone. Moreover, conducting a game or a virtual meet-up was tedious since that requires fixing up a time, conducting a Zoom call and choosing a platform outside of Slack. So, to solve this problem, @adityasriganesh @ajeyasriganesh and I got together to build Ricotta with our main mission to bring teams together and prevent burn out. 🧐 What’s inside Ricotta Trivia 🗓️ Schedule contests & play asynchronously with your team 💻 No need to leave Slack; it’s fun and hassle-free! 🧩 15000+ questions with 15+ fun categories - Marvel, Friends, Star Wars, World capitals etc 🎲 MCQ-based questions with 4 options 📸  Interactive Picture Quizzes with a timer for added fun 🧊 FREE Ice-breaker games This or That, How well do you know your co-workers, 2 truths & a lie and Icebreaker questions 💪 Weekly trivia contests for team bonding sessions 🤓 Enjoy brain-teasing, witty trivia every day with Trivia of the Day 📝  Create custom contests for training, onboarding etc. 🏅 Real-time leaderboards to beat the top score Our games are designed to be fun social activities to turn colleagues into friends! 🎁 Use the code “PRODUCTHUNT90” to get 3 free months off with full access! https://www.ricotta.team/trivia?...

Hello everyone, 👋 We are very excited to present our new Slack application - Ricotta Trivia - which lets you play Trivia quizzes, fun games and Icebreakers with your co-workers on Slack. Long before the horrible Covid-19 pandemic, we noticed that a lot of tech companies like Zapier etc. had gone fully remote and we observed that one of the downsides of being fully remote is that the teams miss out on the fun water cooler activities that occur in an office environment. Fast forward to the post Covid world, virtual team building has become a major challenge for companies and we wanted to solve that. We built Ricotta Trivia to help teams have fun on Slack asynchronously and without disrupting work. Remote, hybrid or otherwise, your team can have loads of fun by playing Trivia contests, Picture quizzes and Icebreaker games such as This or That (Would you rather), Two truths and a lie and more. We hope you have a lot of fun with your co-workers on Slack! 🎉

This is a great product! We have been using this on our Slack workspace at the European University of Brain and Technology - NeurotechEU, over the past two weeks. Definitely makes working remotely with 8 member Universities across Europe fun! I have also been recommending Ricotta Trivia at the Karolinska Institute, where I am based. Kudos to the founding team!

Kudos guys!!! Looks like an amazing way to interact with your team. Game On👍

This looks very cool! I will definitely try it with my teammates! 🤩 Thanks for sharing!

Wow... such a great product😍, beautifully designed. Great way to motivate people in the office to participate more in leisure activities :D

We've been using Ricotta Trivia on our workspace at PlayShifu for the last 3 months. What we love the most - The weekly quiz, we keep waiting for every week! Everyone has become so competitive, and every week is a war to end up in top 3. No one forgets to see the trivia facts anymore, in case that question comes up in the next trivia quiz! 10/10 would recommend it to all workspaces, to add competitive fun during remote work!

Seems really fun, a good way to bring employees together while still working remotely! Have you planned on making it compatible with other apps than Slack? Like Discord for instance? Congrats on the launch, very good job, team! :)

You've just made Slack a funnier place. Seems perfect for remote teams! Congrats <3

@michalmalewicz something for us :D

I beleive that "work" should more fun and less work so that it's enjoyable. You guys seem to make it easier for me to achieve such an experience. Wish you good luck.

Very cool project ?makers !

BRB, adding it to my Slack channel, bypassing the HR :D. Good work, folks. ✨✨

I remember the times when I would play Trivia games on mIRC. This is such a natural fit for Slack. Great idea!

Looks amazing! Way to go team :D

Burnout is a huge problem nowadays. Your mission is the reason for me to choose your product!

Looks good

This is exactly what we needed on our team! Will try it out. Thanks for grinding this out @pallavi_khanna

Lovely thing to have in a closed knit team or community. Would be amazing to see what's next for us all. Keep it up!! I am sure we are using this already in some of our cohorts, are we? @beondeck
