Thanks for kind words sentinel. Totally agreed about the two pain points you described with existing remote activities:
1. Not getting to know your teammates better
2. Not being fun
This is what really led us to want to do something different with Gamejoy. To this end, we try to train our hosts and pick games that not only encourage participants to have fun but also get to know each other better—through interactive and maybe slightly embarrassing questions. :-)
And, agree about needing to continue to experiment with games. We have a couple of ideas in the pipeline but we want to make sure they bring that combination of fun + team building that we want.
