🎮 Asanagame: The Ultimate Task Battle Royale

[Filippo_Baj]

Hey Asana wizards

At iDO, we thought: “What if Asana wasn’t just a productivity tool… but also a videogame?”
Well, we made it happen. And it’s wild.
We played it during our Spring after-work remote party, all on a Zoom call, laughing, yelling, and trying to sabotage each other in real-time . It was chaotic. It was glorious.

Introducing: Asanagame — a game where you battle your teammates through tasks, logic, speed… and a bit of sabotage
Here’s how it works (screenshots incoming!)

How to Set It Up (a.k.a. Build your battlefield)

1. Create a new project and call it something epic, like Asanagame.
2. Add three single-select custom fields:
   1 - Column 1
   2 - Column 2
   3 - Column 3
   Fill each with all participants’ names, in a totally random order to spice things up.
3. Create a people custom field called Points and add it to your Org’s library.
4. Create a second project called Results, and add the Points custom field there.
5. Set up a powerful Rule in the Asanagame project:

• When → Any of Column 1, Column 2, or Column 3 is changed
• Check if → All three columns are set to the same participant (build one condition box per person)
• Do this →
  – Remove the task from the project
  – Add the participant to the Points custom field (one action box per person)
  
  

6. Fill up your game board! We added 5 Rounds, each with 50 tasks (250 total).
   
   
7. Multi-home all tasks in the Results project so the scoring can work its magic.
8. Create a Dashboard in Results with charts:

• One per round
• One overall
  Use Points on the X-axis and Task Count on the Y-axis. Filters by Round help if you’re competitive like us.
  
  

How to Play

• Each player’s mission:
  Set their name in all 3 columns of a task.
• Once all 3 fields match your name → Boom! You score 1 point, and the task disappears.
• You’ve got 1 minute per Round, so move fast!
• Watch out for other players — they might be editing the same task as you!

Rules of Engagement

1. 1 minute per Round.
2. No multi-selecting (it’s a game, not a spreadsheet).
3. No AI allowed to fill in fields for you (nice try, though).
4. Hands off the Points field — it’s sacred.

Why It’s So Fun

The chaos is very real.
Imagine trying to score while someone else is changing the same fields at the same time. It’s like digital tug-of-war.
Tasks vanish right before your eyes. Competitors mess up your combos. People scream (in joy… or despair).
It’s beautiful. It’s savage. It’s Asanagame.
That said — fair warning! Playing all together on the same project at the same time did cause a few hiccups. Some of us got briefly kicked out of the project or saw weird sync issues . It didn’t stop the fun, but it definitely added a little extra spice to the game. So… consider it part of the challenge

Let us know if you try it out or want help setting it up!
May the best taskmaster win!

Who thought we could create a game in Asana It was fun! We did break the app a few times but I am sure Asana will forgive us

This was amazing, @Filippo_Baj — total chaos, but in the best way!
I love how it turns Asana into a fast, fun, and slightly evil game.

PS: iDO is ready for the next “creative Forum challenge”
