My team has been using this tool for a year and to say that it was instrumental for our team spirit, cohesion and closeness is an understatement. I went from having a detached team during covid who weren't close, to having the closest team. We now know each other, we care about each other's hobbies and likes and dislikes, we have fun together and all this while not taking away from work all day. It doesnt feel like organised fun either and not too time consuming. This has been the best tool for us and I'm so happy we started using it! Thank you Recess team!

I work on a global team, and Recess has been such a positive contributor to our team culture and bond. It's so fun to get to learn fun facts and insights about your coworkers that might not otherwise come up naturally on Zoom calls. We also get very competitive in playing the guessing games! Thanks!

Recess has been invaluable for team bonding in a remote work climate—even with members that I have never met in person—and our deeper understanding of one another has resulted in improved team health and stronger collaboration.

Brings teams closer together especially remote-work focused teams. Really love how you can get to know your teammates better by using this product.

Great way to break the ice with colleagues, especially when some people are remote or across multiple offices. Particularly good for new teams/team members but use tends to drop a bit once well established.

I use recess every day with one of my teams. It helps keep casual conversation going, and reduces the sense of friction if you wanted to reach out to one of them for any work related question. While I do not know that they're having genuine bonding experiences, I have definitely learned some more pieces of information about my colleagues, and I've gained a better sense of them as people instead of just peers. And yes, there has definitely been some laughter and play with it as well. :-) I have also tried using recess with a different team and had no success whatsoever, as no one else was interested in the 10 seconds it took to answer the simple questions. Even with using the reminder feature, it simply did not take. So, YMMV.
