Companies like Microsoft and Google are using QuizBreaker to keep their remote employees happy and engaged! QuizBreaker ( [link] ) helps remote teams keep morale high through fun quizzes with lots of gamification. Players answer ice breaker questions and then once a week a quiz gets sent around the team where they have to guess 'Who said what'. It's a quick and easy way for remote teams to have fun when they don't have the chance to see each other face to face.
