Project boards with a bit of game in them. Work is the quest; progress is the story.

Why we built it

We tried the usual tools. They tracked tasks fine, but they felt dead: nobody could tell at a glance whether the sprint was going well, and the work that keeps a team alive (reviews, unblocking a teammate, cleaning up) never showed up anywhere.

FrostFire is our answer. It's a proper Kanban and Scrum board first, with columns, sprints, epics and dependencies, and the game layer sits on top so progress is something you can see. We run Viking Smashers on it. The longer version of the reasoning is in our devlog: Scrum measures the wrong thing.

Sprint boss panel: The First Frostbeast, 40 of 40 HP

Every sprint has a boss

Instead of guarding a frozen ticket list, the team commits to an amount of work. That becomes the boss's health. Every finished card deals damage, so if priorities shift mid-sprint, the measure still makes sense.

Beat the boss before time runs out and the whole party gets the biggest reward.

XP for the real work

Finishing a card earns experience for whoever did it, and reviewers and supporters get credit too, not just the assignee.

Special cards

Draw cards like Double Damage, Lane Boost or XP Surge and play them on the board for one-off effects.

Side quests & seasons

Bonus objectives and seasonal campaigns keep long projects from turning into a grind.

Workers

Connect GitHub or GitLab so issues, pull requests and delivery signals move with the board.

Six themes

From frostbound focus to ember-lit momentum. Make the board yours.

Live together

Presence, chat and notifications, so the party moves together.

Team Hub with meetings, notes, retrospectives and polls

Team rituals, next to the work

Meetings with agendas and follow-ups, searchable notes, quick polls, and retrospectives with anonymous voting whose action items land straight back on the board. Retros don't end in a document nobody opens again.

Make the work worth remembering

Free for small parties: two members, core gamification, no credit card. Paid plans add bigger teams, retrospectives, analytics and all six themes.
