📈 Why Online Bingo Beats Basic Icebreakers
Traditional virtual icebreaker problems:
- "Fun" activities feel forced or childish
- Only extroverts participate
- No way to track engagement
- Hard to facilitate with large groups
Digital human bingo solves these by:
- Providing structured but authentic interaction
- Letting introverts participate via chat/QR codes
- Giving organizers real-time participation data
- Working for 10 or 1000+ attendees
