Hi Product Hunters! I’m Arek, the project lead for Covalent. We’re a team of nine undergraduate students based at UCLA. After months of hard work, we’re very excited to launch on Product Hunt today 🚀 We’ve all experienced the struggle of awkward silences in online conversations. As students, we’ve especially felt how hard it can be to meet new people in a remote setting. That’s why we built Covalent—to ditch awkwardness and make remote team bonding experiences more meaningful. With Covalent, we’re taking your favorite in-person icebreakers and turning them into interactive, online games that can be used alongside your Zoom calls. We also have a built-in video feed integrated into our games to personalize the experience. For today’s launch, we’ve released our version of Two Truths and A Lie. Getting started is easy: (1) Find a friend (2) Visit our website @ https://covalent.app (3) Click on “Start Bonding” (4) Click “Host” then “Play” In the future, we’ll be launching an online version of “20 Questions” and will be building out native applications beyond our web-only app. This has been an incredible learning experience for our team, and we're still learning a lot. We’d love to hear your feedback! What games and features do you want to see on our platform next? Twitter: https://twitter.com/covalentapp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/covale...

@andrewthezhou thanks Andrew! Good question: during our initial research, we ran a few user surveys asking people to list their favorite icebreakers. After sorting through, we found that most people enjoy Two Truths and A Lie!

Looks fantastic! Congrats on shipping. Looking forward to hosting some ice breakers soon. Question: are you looking to add other games as well?

@hirday_gupta thanks, Hirday! We're in the process of building our adaptation of 20 Questions. We value our community's feedback, so games beyond that will be determined by what people want to see :)

This is amazing! I enjoyed having Covalent for our ACM Design meetings, with the demonstrations lead by @muthu_pal, because it allowed us to get to know our 14 interns much better very quickly! I expect great things to come of this :)

Awesome idea, I can see this becoming a huge thing. Ice-breakers are a great idea, and I think in the virtual world it’s even more important but less common!
