Choosing teammates
Start with friends or community members whose playstyle matches yours. UltimateSlider’s #looking-for-squad channel is full of bios; look for people who mention healthy boundaries and favourite slots similar to yours. Keep the initial crew small (4–6 players) so coordination stays manageable.
Rotating leadership
Assign the “Quest Captain” role on a weekly roster. That person picks the featured slot, runs the voice chat intro, and keeps an eye on breaks. When the week ends, the captain hands the torch to the next member. This rotation prevents burnout and keeps your squad culture diverse.
Designing session rhythms
- Warm-up (10 minutes): light spins, catch-up chat, share goals.
- Main quest (30–40 minutes): raid, puzzle hunt, or leaderboard push.
- Cooldown (10 minutes): screenshare highlights, log achievements, confirm next meetup.
This structure keeps sessions intentional and prevents the “just one more hour” spiral.
Tools for coordination
Use a shared doc (Notion, Google Sheets) to track achievements, roles, and post-session notes. In Discord, create channels for announcements, memes, and wellbeing. Use the Account Lounge squad invites so members can join raids with one click.
Wellbeing commitments
Before each session, revisit your squad charter: maximum session length, break reminders, respectful chat rules. Encourage members to signal if they need a pause or want to switch to a calmer slot. Healthy squads last longer.
