Kwoji vs a team offsite
In short. An offsite or a team-building day brings the team to one place, once. Kwoji sets up a short ritual that comes back every week, remote or in the office. They do not answer the same question, and many teams need both.
Side by side
| Point | Kwoji | An offsite |
|---|---|---|
| How often | As often as the team wants: a game of a few minutes, a challenge every working day | A one-off event, often once a year |
| Who takes part | Every colleague, in the office or remote, from a computer or a phone | Those who can travel on the chosen date |
| Preparation | None: open a game and share the link | Venue, date, travel, agenda, often an outside provider |
| Cost | Free up to 200 members and 4 games; $4 per member per month billed yearly for the full catalog | Depends on the venue, travel, lodging and facilitation |
| Follow-up over time | Kwoji Pulse measures team mood every week; the Galaxy shows how groups play together, never an individual | The event does not measure its own effect over time |
Choose an offsite if…
- you want a big in-person moment, to kick off a project or celebrate a year;
- the team needs to meet face to face, at least once;
- the budget and the calendar allow you to get everyone in one place.
Choose Kwoji if…
- part of the team works remotely or across several sites;
- you want ties that are kept up between two events, not only on the day;
- you want a ritual that nobody has to organize.
Both together?
That is the most common setup: the offsite creates the memory, Kwoji keeps the connection going in the weeks after. A Kwoji game can even break the ice on the day, on everyone's phone.
The questions we get asked.
Does Kwoji replace an offsite?
No. Kwoji does not replace meeting in person. It works between two meetings, when the team is spread out and day-to-day work takes over.
Can Kwoji be used during an offsite?
Yes. Put the game's QR code on the screen and everyone joins from their phone, with nothing to install.
How long does a game last?
A few minutes for arcade games, around a quarter of an hour for drawing or bluffing games. Kwoji Secret runs continuously, over hours or days.
