Has anyone here contemplated using Roblox for work?
I manage remote software development teams who have never met face to face and I find that bringing people out of their shells is difficult, and activities like icebreakers can be invaluable for this.
Roblox games are very varied and the platform seems very flexible. And it got me thinking that maybe these icebreaker activities can be gamified. Imagine a Roblox game being used to estimate stories for a sprint for instance.
Anyway, does anyone know of anyone who has done this? I'd love to know how they found it.

@gpowerf Gamification of mundane tasks is something ive always liked the idea of but very rarely have seen executed well.
@freemo same! There's the obvious risk of making something cheesy. And I don't envisage this as a tool utilised regularly, it would just be a special super weapon of an icebreaker.
@gpowerf There were some attempts at gamifying JIRA... not sure if they are any good (they didnt wow me)... but I really like the idea of jira gamification
@freemo the execution is still very very fuzzy indeed :) it is just a wild idea for now. My kids introduced me to the game recently and I was fascinated by the variety of stuff people have made with it. That got me thinking it could be used for much more than games... Anyway, if I do something I'll share.
