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 Love the idea, the execution seems a bit fuzzy. If you make anything of it please share!

@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.

@gpowerf @freemo let me know too will ya? As a trainer, 99% fully virtual, icebreakers like standups are very valuable to me otherwise I just talk to the wall all week😂
