About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

WorkAdventure is a collaboration platform built around a 16-bit-style 2D world where users move avatars and start video conversations when they approach one another. Spaces can be used for virtual offices, recruiting, onboarding, training, and events.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Key features

Combine movement through space with proximity conversations

Users navigate a map as avatars, and physical proximity in the virtual world can trigger video conversations, creating a more spontaneous interaction model than scheduled meeting rooms.

Sources: [2]

Design virtual spaces for different collaboration scenarios

Maps can be customized for offices, recruiting events, training, onboarding, and other immersive experiences accessed from desktop, mobile, or tablet browsers.

Sources: [2]

Compose chat, maps, and integrations from several services

The development Compose stack includes the web client, backend, map storage, Matrix, reverse proxy, and related services that support chat and embedded integrations.

Sources: [3]

Best fit

Fits teams that want a persistent online place rather than only scheduled calls

It is relevant for organizations and communities that want people to see who is around, move between spaces, and initiate informal conversations online.

Before adoption

Treat the README Docker Compose path as a development setup

The quick setup copies .env.template and starts docker-compose for development. Public deployments should separately plan authentication, TURN, secrets, persistence, and external URLs.

Sources: [2][3]

Major components use AGPLv3 plus a Commons Clause

Component LICENSE.txt files add a Commons Clause to AGPLv3 and state that the Enterprise edition can be licensed under separate commercial terms. GitHub therefore does not report a single SPDX license for the repository.

Sources: [5]

Real-time media depends on browser and network conditions

Video and audio require network planning such as STUN/TURN in NAT or firewall environments. Validate expected concurrency and connectivity in the intended deployment.

Supplemental curator note

WorkAdventure centers collaboration around walking through a 2D space and starting conversations as people approach one another. The source is public, but major components use AGPLv3 with a Commons Clause, so commercial-use terms should be reviewed rather than treating it as plain AGPL.
