Changelog

Quizzes can now include a rich text introduction that appears before the first question, helping you set the stage for participants.

What You Can Include

The introduction field supports rich text formatting, allowing you to:

• Explain the purpose of the quiz
• Provide instructions or rules
• Set expectations for time limits or scoring
• Add motivation or context for learning-focused quizzes
• Include relevant links or resources

Why Introductions Matter

A well-crafted introduction helps participants understand:

• What to expect: How many questions, how long it will take
• Why it matters: The purpose behind the quiz (fun, learning, assessment)
• How to engage: Any special instructions or expectations

This is especially valuable for onboarding quizzes, training assessments, and team-building activities where context enhances the experience.

Doozy Roulette now considers employee location when creating matches, enabling both local connections and cross-location networking.

Location Matching Options

With your HRIS connected, you can configure Roulette to:

• Same location: Match people in the same office for potential in-person meetups
• Different locations: Connect people across offices to build relationships in distributed teams

Powered by Your HRIS

Location data is automatically synced from your HRIS—no manual data entry required. Doozy uses this information alongside other matching preferences to create meaningful connections.

Ideal Use Cases

• Hybrid teams: Help people in the same office find time to meet in person
• Global organizations: Break down geographic silos by connecting colleagues across regions
• Office culture: Strengthen local team bonds with regular in-person introductions

Birthday celebrations just got more fun! You can now include animated GIFs in your birthday announcements to add personality and excitement to the celebration.

How to Enable

In your celebration settings, toggle the "Include birthday GIF" option to Yes. Doozy will automatically include a celebratory GIF with each birthday announcement posted to Slack.

This setting is also available for work anniversary celebrations under "Include celebration GIF".

Why GIFs Matter

A well-chosen GIF can:

• Make announcements more eye-catching in busy Slack channels
• Add a personal, fun touch to celebrations
• Increase engagement with celebration posts

Configure your celebration settings

Streamline your onboarding process with automated new hire introductions in Doozy Roulette. New team members are automatically connected with the right colleagues from day one.

How It Works

Configure Roulette to:

1. Define new hires: Specify criteria for who qualifies as a new hire (based on start date from your HRIS)
2. Choose introduction targets: Select which groups new hires should meet—their team, department, or specific individuals
3. Automate scheduling: Let Doozy handle the logistics of scheduling these important connections

Use Cases

• Team integration: Introduce new hires to everyone on their immediate team
• Cross-functional networking: Connect new employees with key stakeholders across departments
• Buddy programs: Pair new hires with tenured employees for guidance

Meeting Options

Choose from multiple meeting formats:

• Duration: 15, 30, or 60 minutes
• Location: Doozy video rooms, Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or in-person

Set up new hire introductions

Quizzes and icebreakers are now more flexible than ever. Beyond posting to Slack channels, you can deliver them directly to the people who need them most.

New Delivery Options

When scheduling a quiz or icebreaker, you can now choose from multiple destinations:

• Slack Channel: Post publicly in a channel (existing behavior)
• Channel Members: Send directly to each member of a channel via DM
• Individuals: Target specific people by name
• Groups: Deliver to predefined groups in your organization
• New Hires: Automatically include recent joiners
• Managers: Send to people in management roles
• Manager's Reports: Target a manager's direct or all reports

Why This Matters

Targeted delivery ensures the right people receive the right content. Use this for:

• Onboarding quizzes: Send company knowledge tests directly to new hires
• Team-specific content: Deliver department-relevant icebreakers without cluttering other channels
• Mandatory training: Ensure specific individuals complete required quizzes

Doozy Roulette now supports team-specific matching, giving you granular control over who gets introduced to whom within your organization.

Intra-Team Connections

Build stronger relationships within teams by matching people who share a team but may not interact daily. Perfect for:

• Large teams where not everyone knows each other
• Remote teams who need structured social time
• Teams going through growth or restructuring

Cross-Team Introductions

Break down silos by connecting people across different teams. Match two groups with the "Match with another group" option:

• Sales and Customer Success for better handoffs
• Engineering and Product for tighter collaboration
• New hires with experienced team members for mentorship

Enhanced Meeting Experience

All Roulette matches include:

• Flexible scheduling at times that work for participants
• Choice of meeting location (Doozy rooms, Zoom, Meet, Teams, or in-person)
• Optional built-in icebreakers and quizzes to spark conversation

Configure team-specific Roulette

Automatic Data Sync

These matching preferences are powered entirely by your existing HRIS data—no manual data entry required. Doozy automatically syncs employee information to ensure matches are always based on current data.

Use Cases

We've introduced automated reminder notifications for celebration cards to ensure no one misses the chance to add their personal message.

How It Works

When a celebration card is created for a birthday or work anniversary, Doozy will now automatically send a gentle reminder to team members who haven't signed the card after 4 days. This helps ensure that every card is filled with thoughtful messages before the celebration date.

Key Benefits

• Increased participation: More team members contribute to celebration cards
• No manual follow-up required: Doozy handles the reminders automatically
• Thoughtful celebrations: Recipients receive cards with more personal messages from their colleagues

To enable reminders, navigate to your celebration settings in the Doozy dashboard.
