Solutions · Employee engagement
Most engagement tools measure. Halftime moves the dial.
Surveys tell you how engagement is going. Halftime gives the team a small daily reason to show up, play, compare, and talk.

Surveys measure feeling. Halftime builds it.
Culture Amp, Lattice, Officevibe, eNPS pulses. They're diagnostic instruments. They tell you the team is disengaged, then ask another question. The few tools that try to intervene (Donut, Friday socials, mandatory virtual happy hours) usually backfire because they add load to the people doing the most work.
Halftime takes a different angle. A small daily ritual that teams genuinely look forward to. Two minutes, async, no facilitator. Engagement isn't measured. It's noticed.

Two minutes a day. Played whenever.
A new game opens at 9. Each team member plays whenever there's a moment. Coffee, a break, between meetings. By 4pm scores reveal, the leaderboard updates, the conversation starts.
The variety is the point. 50+ formats across arcade, puzzle, word, trivia, strategy, creative. Some days a fast arcade round. Some days a drawing prompt. Some days a word puzzle. Teams get a daily injection of low-stakes fun without anyone having to plan it.
Participation without nudging. Conversation without prompting.
Engagement isn't a chart. It's the feeling of a team that's genuinely connected. Here's what most teams notice in the first 30 days.
Week 1
Participation becomes the first signal. People start checking scores without a manager nudging them.
Week 2
"Have you done today's yet?" becomes a thing people actually say. Rivalries start.
Month 1
Quiet teammates show up here who never speak in meetings. Mid-day chatter in Slack.
Month 3
When the next survey changes, the team has a concrete daily ritual to point to.
“The games have been really fun. The team has really enjoyed the various games. It came at a perfect time. We were experiencing low morale across the team and your app boosted morale within days.”
Measure vs create

Common questions
Is this a replacement for our engagement survey?+
No. Surveys measure how people feel. Halftime tries to change it. Different jobs. Most teams keep their survey for measurement and run Halftime alongside it as the thing that actually moves the numbers.
How is this different from Culture Amp, Lattice, or Officevibe?+
Those tools measure engagement. Halftime creates daily participation. They send surveys and produce dashboards. We send a 2-minute game and produce conversation. Most teams use measurement and intervention together.
What reporting do we get?+
Participation rates, streaks, leaderboards, weekly champions, team activity. Enough to see whether it's working without the survey-fatigue overhead.
