Echte teamleden, mascottes of personages uit uw games als NPC's.
ASYNC FORMAT
Online marathon for your team
A team spread across cities and time zones is no reason to drag everyone onto one call. We open a window of a day or several: each person joins by link when it suits them, works through the program at their own pace, and the results stack up on a shared leaderboard.
- Play as a team or solo — both standings run in parallel
- Break between blocks and come back later
- The program is assembled from ready-made blocks
- platform holds 10,000+ at once
- window from one to five days
- browser, no installs
Vertrouwd door HR-teams wereldwijd
PROGRAM BUILDER
Assemble the marathon from blocks
Blocks run in the order a participant meets them. Tick one to put it in the program — the time and the bar recalculate immediately. Click the row itself to look at the block on the right.
Your program
≈33 min
2 blocks in the program
2D quests
30 minA team adventure with a story: explore locations, hunt for objects, solve puzzles and negotiate with each other. The longest and most narrative block in the program, and the one most often played in teams of four to six.
Most often picked
Play time is per person, not the length of the window — the window runs 1 to 5 days either way, and people play in whatever slot suits them.
NO FRICTION
It's simple — even if half the team isn't into games
The biggest fear with an event like this is that someone won't figure it out and simply won't join. Getting in is as short as we can make it, the rules are explained inside the game, and block difficulty is set so developers and the finance team both stay in. In a marathon that matters more than anywhere else — there's no host next to them saying it out loud.
01
A link, nothing else
No installs, no VPN, no ticket to IT. Open the link in a browser and you're in.
02
Laptop, phone, tablet
Work laptop, home desktop, or a phone on the train — the same experience on all of them.
03
No gaming experience needed
Rules fit on one screen, and some blocks aren't games at all — the opening video, the trivia round and the closing survey.
04
Moderators on call
Moderators staff the chat for the whole window: they'll point at the right button, restart a block, and pull in anyone who got lost.
PLATFORM
One link to get in — and the whole marathon in view
A participant needs one link; you need one screen. Below are recordings from the platform itself.
In within seconds
One link for everyone: enter a display name, pick a team if you're running teams, and you're playing. No accounts, no passwords, no personal data. The task, the points and the time left sit at the top of the screen throughout.
Chat and moderation
Moderators start and extend blocks, show the waiting screen, and answer participants right there in the chat — everyone at once or one team in particular.
Answers and results live
Questions and surveys tally as people answer, so the standings move during the window rather than after it. Everything exports to CSV in one click.

WAT HR-LEIDERS ZEGGEN
Verhalen van HR-leiders
“We probeerden 4 leveranciers vóór HeySparko. Met Apocalypse en Bureau of Magical Affairs is onze 240-koppige engineering-organisatie echt komen opdagen. De energie in de standups de volgende ochtend was iets wat we al maanden niet hadden gezien.”
Sarah Mitchell
VP, People Operations · Series B SaaS · 240 medewerkers
“Onboarding van 80 nieuwe medewerkers over 6 tijdzones betekende vroeger slecht Zoom-theater. Game Marathon liet onze cohort Last Temple Mystery over 4 dagen asynchroon spelen. Nieuwe medewerkers kenden elkaars namen voordat hun eerste project van start ging.”
Marcus Chen
Director of People Engagement · Distributed B2B SaaS · 600 medewerkers
“Wat ons overtuigde: HeySparko bouwde onze CTO als personage in de game. Onze engineers — die zich nooit met HR-programma's bemoeien — herposten de opname in #general. We draaien sindsdien kwartaal-Big Games. Jaarlijks behoud steeg van 72% naar 84%.”
Jessica Rodriguez
Head of Talent & Culture · Distributed engineering org · 350 medewerkers
“Voor onze all-hands van 1,200 personen verwachtten we logistieke chaos. HeySparko draaide het over 3 simultane game-instances met nul coördinatie aan onze kant. Het maatwerk verhaal integreerde onze Q3-overwinningen. Twee CEO's van onze portfoliobedrijven vroegen wie we gebruikten.”
David Kim
Chief People Officer · Enterprise SaaS · 1,200 medewerkers
“Ons jaarlijkse kerstfeest was altijd hetzelfde: diner, ongemakkelijke smalltalk, halve team weg om 21:00. We hebben in plaats daarvan Wintervald Hotel Mystery gespeeld — 180 mensen, 2 uur, gebrand met onze bedrijfsgeschiedenis. Het beste kantoorfeest dat iemand zich herinnert.”
Rachel Bennett
Head of People · Mid-market fintech · 180 medewerkers
“We hadden compliance-training nodig voor HIPAA — typisch 90 minuten slides, 30% voltooiing. We werkten met HeySparko aan een aangepaste mini-game versie — dezelfde inhoud, verhalen-gedreven format. 94% voltooiing in de eerste week, en mensen vroegen wanneer de volgende module komt.”

NOT SURE THIS IS THE FORMAT?
Two other ways to run it
If an async window isn't right for your team, the same catalog runs live — and every game below plays in either format.
Big Game
The live format: one Zoom, a professional host, 70 to 90 minutes, everyone together. Pick this when your team has a single moment to gather.
See the live format →Escape room adventures
Story-driven puzzle journeys where the team works as one expedition — ancient temples, retro arcades, an office in meltdown.
