Icebreaker App Helps You Host Fun Virtual Conversation Games and Break Everyone out of a Zoom Rut

Close Connections through Remote Work

Days blend into nights. Weekdays blend into weekends. With social distancing, the lines blur more and more.

Zoom. Google Hangouts. Videoconferencing apps feel the same.

That’s until Icebreaker made its hot early release. The group chat + 1:1 video conversation game makes online communication joyful. It’s more powerful when paired with Zoom, like delicious hot fudge and colored sprinkles topping vanilla ice cream.

I’ve used Icebreaker several times this week, as a guest and host. Are you ready to spice up your team meetings and company culture?

Everyone has left the chat and are now in the “Group Check-in Time” game

What Works (Pros…and protips)

• Group chat: It is fun and uses Markdown.
• Video player: Encouraged to have fun with videos that a host can play at the top. Music videos hype people up and keep attendees occupied as everyone else arrive.
• 1:1 conversation matches: Made seamlessly and changes with each game.
