## What it is
WorkAdventure is an open-source collaborative web application that presents virtual offices and events as a 16-bit RPG-style world where avatars trigger proximity-based video chat. It can be self-hosted via Docker Compose or Kubernetes, or used through the company's hosted SaaS offering.

## Use cases
- set up a virtual office for a remote or hybrid team
- host an online conference or hackathon in a gamified world
- run a digital campus or virtual classroom for students
- replace Gather.town with a GDPR-compliant self-hosted alternative
- create an immersive onboarding or job-dating experience
- let colleagues have spontaneous video conversations by walking up to each other

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, GDPR-compliant Gather.town alternative
- you need proximity-based video chat in a customizable 2D game-like world
- you are hosting virtual events, classrooms, or remote workspaces with map customization

## When to avoid
- you need a plain video conferencing tool without a spatial/gamified layer
- you require a permissively licensed codebase (no license is specified in the repo)
- you cannot run Docker/Kubernetes infrastructure and don't want the hosted SaaS
