We feel that Basecamp 3 is a great improvement on version 2, and our team now use it to stay organised across all our on-going projects.
BC3 has loads of fantastic project management and communication features but the icing on the cake is that it’s fun to use.
Team BLISS have recently been having a lot of fun with one feature in particular: the sounds in Campfires & Pings.
The Campfire sounds are triggered by typing /play followed by specific keywords and who doesn’t love a celebratory Nyan Cat or a quick “DOING IT LIVE”?!
As I’m a bit of geek, I wanted to know all the /play commands but couldn’t find much documentation online.
So, I decided to write my own:
The Basecamp 3 Campfire Sounds Cheat Sheet
Please note: These commands only work within Campfires and Pings.
