“Easy to use. I drew an owl with a top hat. What's not to love? 5/5”
Ian Kottman
Staff Engineer
“Simple fun that helps build some camaraderie with your coworkers.
Even if you don't get the chance to play on a given day, getting to laugh with each
other at the quickly scrawled drawings is a lot of fun.
Looking forward to sharing it with my team.”
S. Paul Dennis

Your Engine is Human,
Humans Need Interaction
Every organization experiences at least one of these.
- Low morale - When people check out, everything becomes harder, more time-consuming. Work becomes painful, and the bare minimum is the best one can mustre.
- Siloing - Team isolation and communicative hermiting affects everything. Interaction needs to flow for things to get done.
- High turnover - Good compensation doesn't cut it. Outside of sleep, people spend the majority of their life at work. A healthy team culture goes the extra mile to keep your hard-acquired talent.
