We’ve tried to make our app as non-intrusive as possible with an asynchronous game format (so that everyone can play at their own pace without disrupting work), minimal in-app notifications and an option to play in private channels.

We also have an access management feature on our app that lets only the set admins schedule and start games. Having a dedicated team-building channel combined with the admin access feature should work well for your team. Your team will be able to have one super admin and multiple admins. The admins can auto-schedule games for the week and post games on the team-building channel.

The auto-scheduled games as well as Weekly Trivia and Word of The Day will help everyone be engaged throughout the week. This way, there would be no room for confusion or spending too much time playing games on different channels. You can also play games on private channels for smaller groups.

As of now, the admin controls feature is available for enterprise plans only, however, we can activate for your team on other plans too. Please email us at cheese@ricotta.team to activate the feature for your workspace.

Of course! We do not store any information apart from your username and workspace name. For more information, you can check out our privacy policy.
