How do you scale this with a live host? They're literally booked for an entire hour (or more)? Can these games not be designed to stand on their own without additional humans pulling levers?

We're seeing a live host as a main part of our value proposition. The host not only helps ensure an optimal game experience but also supports the team to get to know each better with fun questions and ice-breakers.

Long-term, we're hoping this could be also be a way to employ artists impacted by the pandemic as well.

Many of the companies you are targeting probably already have HR generalists who do such events online now because of the new reality . Perhaps you should consider a pricing package where you provide the games and training for the host and make it self service for the hosts to run these events for their companies. It would be more scalable and doesn't erode any value.

That's a really great point about the role of HR generalists and your suggestion about moving to a more self-service model. We'll definitely consider this. Thanks for the feedback!

Maybe sell shovels: by which I mean offer a course to train HR people to deliver a raft of games?
