Ever wanted to run your own virtual office, but without giving your data to the cloud gods?

Say hi to WorkAdventure — a 100% open-source, self-hostable platform where your team walks around a pixel-art map, talks with proximity video, and stumbles into spontaneous coffee chats ☕️

  • 🧱 Stack: Svelte, Node.js, WebRTC, WebSockets, Phaser.js for the 2D map engine
  • 📦 Deployment: Docker / Docker Compose
  • 🚫 No DB: No backend database required
  • 🔓 100% self-hostable and open-source

Use it for:

  • A remote team HQ that doesn’t feel like a spreadsheet
  • Onboarding journeys with map-based progression
  • Hackathons, classrooms, or "let’s pretend we’re in a Game Boy" moments
  • You can embed tools (Miro, Google Docs, etc.), run AI NPCs, and even host up to 5,000 users on one map (we’ve tested it, it’s wild).

💡 Fully self-hostable. Bring your own TURN server or use ours.

PS: We're a small team in France and super open to feedback, PRs, or feature ideas 😍
