Domo’s neighborhood appears to be like ahead to an awards ceremony yearly for its intimate setting and likelihood to spend time to assemble. Traditionally, the awards ceremony has been held in tandem with Domopalooza, a time when 1000’s of Domo prospects come collectively to be taught the facility of the Domo product.
Throughout this thrilling week, the neighborhood finds a night to sneak away from the crowds for a flowery dinner, neighborhood awards, and an attractive exercise. With the COVID-19 pandemic cancelling yet one more 12 months of our in-person ceremony plans, we knew we would have liked to get artistic and make this a memorable expertise.
Earlier than Domopalooza was introduced as absolutely digital, Domo’s neighborhood crew booked an in-person escape room exercise for this group of technical neighborhood members. As soon as we transitioned this occasion to Zoom, we needed to create an analogous expertise.
So, we turned to Zack Cameron, Domo’s present director of training and former technical options supervisor. In different phrases, he’s a Domo professional who can construct desires with the Domo product. And that’s precisely what he did, by constructing a digital escape room inside a Domo occasion.
The caveat of the puzzle was to seek out seven digits all through the sport and enter that last code to “escape” the entice of Domo playing cards one discovered themself in. As one found clues, unlocked pages, and located digits, the capabilities of Domo obtained ever extra fascinating.
Be mindful, the customers collaborating on this puzzle are our most Domo-advanced, and we broke them into teams of 4-6 to mix their brain-power. Groups “escaped” inside 45-55 minutes. Even these teams of remarkable Domo customers have been shocked on the stage of experience required to construct the puzzle and have been bewildered by the way it was created.
Attendee Bryan VanKampen mentioned post-event, “that’s most likely one of the best digital occasion I’ve been to, Domo or in any other case.”

Zack used a mixture of customized apps, interactive filters, drill paths, and APIs to construct out this recreation—and in considered one of our subsequent consumer teams, he’ll be there to display how he constructed this advanced exercise.
Everybody who participated left the assembly room smiling. One attendee even went as far as to say, “right this moment’s session was completely AMAZING. A lot enjoyable. Not solely did we full probably the most sophisticated Domo puzzle, however we additionally made new connections and shared an ideal expertise collectively.”
For those who didn’t attend this awards ceremony exercise, be certain to attend our consumer teams sooner or later. We now have a sense the Domo escape room theme is right here to remain.
