What problem they faced

HR team at Alma, a fast-growing fintech company with 380 employees, faced a common challenge: how to organize team building events across different offices - in Lille, Paris, and remote - while keeping engagement high and organization simple.

“We were looking for an easy, self-serve solution that could engage everyone — no matter where they work - around a fun and meaningful activity.”
