Luna Park Alternative for Slack: Complete Migration Guide

If your team has been using Luna Park's Slack Toolkit, you may have noticed they've pivoted their business and are no longer maintaining their Slack engagement tools. We understand this leaves teams in a difficult position, especially when these tools have become part of your daily culture.

This guide will help you transition from Luna Park to Doozy smoothly. Doozy provides direct replacements for all four Luna Park Slack features: Intros, Ice Cream Shout-outs, Water Coolers, and Celebrations. We've built these tools to be just as easy to use, with some additional capabilities that make team engagement even better.

What Luna Park Offered

Luna Park's Slack Toolkit was an all-in-one engagement solution with four core features:

• Intros - Automated Slack introductions that paired team members for spontaneous meet-ups across departments and time zones
• Ice Cream Shout-outs - A peer recognition system using the 🍦 emoji as a fun currency, with leaderboards celebrating givers and receivers
• Water Coolers - Automated conversation prompts delivered to Slack channels to foster asynchronous engagement and team culture
• Celebrations - Automated birthday and work anniversary announcements with accompanying events to celebrate team members

These tools helped remote and hybrid teams stay connected, build relationships, and maintain culture despite physical distance.

How Doozy Replaces Luna Park

Doozy offers feature-for-feature replacements for every Luna Park tool, all integrated natively into Slack:

Luna Park Feature	Doozy Equivalent	Link
Intros	Introductions	Learn more
Ice Cream Shout-outs	Shoutouts	Learn more
Water Coolers	Trivia & Icebreakers	Learn more
Celebrations	Celebrations	Learn more

Each Doozy feature is designed to work seamlessly in Slack, requiring no additional apps or platforms. Your team can continue their engagement routines with minimal disruption.

Replacing Intros with Doozy Introductions

Luna Park's Intros feature randomly paired team members for meet-ups. Doozy Introductions does the same and more.

What you get with Doozy Introductions:

• Automated pairing - Set up recurring coffee chats that automatically match team members
• Flexible cadence - Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedules
• Smart matching - Optional algorithms to ensure diversity in pairings (by department, seniority, or custom criteria)
• Calendar integration - Automatic meeting scheduling with Google Calendar or Microsoft 365
• Group introductions - Pair 2, 3 or 4 people together
• Onboarding matches - Automatically introduce new team members to colleagues across the organization

Migration tip: If you had specific channels or groups set up for Luna Park Intros, you can configure the same targeting in Doozy. Introductions can run in specific channels, for specific user groups, or across your entire workspace.

Replacing Ice Cream Shout-outs with Doozy Shoutouts

Luna Park's Ice Cream Shout-outs let teams recognize each other with the 🍦 emoji. Doozy Shoutouts provides peer recognition that's just as fun and meaningful.

What you get with Doozy Shoutouts:

• Public recognition - Team members can send shoutouts that appear in designated Slack channels
• Custom messages - Add context about why someone deserves recognition
• Leaderboards - See who's giving and receiving the most appreciation
• Integration with celebrations - Shoutouts can be part of birthday and anniversary celebrations
• Team visibility - Build a culture of recognition that everyone can see and participate in

Migration tip: While Luna Park used ice cream emojis, Doozy Shoutouts focuses on meaningful recognition messages that create lasting impact. You can recreate the same recognition culture with more flexibility in how appreciation is expressed.

Replacing Water Coolers with Trivia & Icebreakers

Luna Park's Water Coolers delivered conversation prompts to keep teams engaged. Doozy Trivia & Icebreakers takes this concept further with both prompts and interactive content.

What you get with Doozy Trivia & Icebreakers:

• Icebreaker prompts - Thoughtful conversation starters delivered automatically to your channels
• Custom prompts - Create your own questions tailored to your team's interests
• Flexible frequency - Daily, weekly, or custom schedules
• Daily trivia - Add competitive fun with trivia questions and leaderboards
• Team participation tracking - See engagement levels and adjust accordingly
• Library of content - Choose from hundreds of pre-written prompts across diverse topics

Migration tip: If you had favorite Water Cooler prompts or a cadence your team loved, you can recreate the same experience in Doozy. The platform supports custom icebreaker questions, so you can even import topics that worked well for your team.

Replacing Celebrations with Doozy Celebrations

Luna Park's Celebrations automated birthday and work anniversary announcements. Doozy Celebrations offers the same automation plus digital cards and more customization.

What you get with Doozy Celebrations:

• Birthday celebrations - Automated announcements on team members' birthdays
• Work anniversary celebrations - Recognize tenure milestones automatically
• Digital signing cards - Team members can sign virtual cards with messages and GIFs
• Custom celebrations - Create one-off celebrations for promotions, project wins, or any special moment
• HRIS integration - Automatically sync birthdays and start dates from your HR system (BambooHR, Rippling, etc.)
• Timezone awareness - Celebrations post at the right time regardless of where team members are located
• Flexible notifications - Choose which channels receive announcements

Migration tip: You can manually add birthdays and work anniversaries, or connect your HRIS to automate data sync. This makes the transition even smoother with no more manual tracking of dates.

Making the Switch: Migration Steps

Transitioning from Luna Park to Doozy is straightforward. Here's how to get started:

Step 1: Add Doozy to Slack

Visit doozy.live and click "Add to Slack." You'll need Slack admin permissions to install the app. The setup takes less than 2 minutes.

Step 2: Configure Your Features

Set up each feature that replaces your Luna Park tools:

1. Set up Introductions - Choose your pairing cadence, target channels/groups, and matching preferences
2. Enable Celebrations - Add birthdays and work anniversaries (or connect your HRIS)
3. Configure Shoutouts - Designate a channel for public recognition
4. Launch Icebreakers - Choose your prompt frequency and channel

You don't need to set up all features at once. Start with your team's most-used Luna Park feature and add others gradually.
