Psychologists argue that [adults need it just as much as children](http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2012/11/15/the-importance-of-play-for-adults/). While work is a serious matter, we’ve built functionality into Asana that aims to bring a little fun into work, too. Because it can help you actually do your job better, connect with your teammates, and help you unearth some really great ideas. Here are a few ways to bring some fun into Asana: ## Hacks #### Flying Unicorns Over and over, we hear users tell us that checking off tasks in Asana brings them an immense sense of satisfaction. Some even describe it as ‘magical.’ But the reaction we get from those who [turn on the unicorn hack](https://asana.com/guide/help/tasks/celebrations) borders on ecstatic enthusiasm. When you enable this hack, you’ll get a flying surprise across your screen once you’ve tackled some tasks. It’s hard not to smile when you see it (or at least want to high-five your desk neighbor). #### Mobile narwhals and rainbows More recently, we’ve adopted a new hometown hero: [the majestic narwhal](https://blog.asana.com/2014/09/narwhal-soccer/). If you’ve enabled the unicorn hack, you’ll enjoy a celebratory narwhal launch across your screen when you complete a task from your iOS device. On Android, you’ll be rewarded for clearing out your [Inbox](https://asana.com/guide/help/fundamentals/inbox) with a rainbow. #### Tab+B because, cats. We have a thing for cats here, as you may have guessed. Both of our co-founders are fond of felines, and our programming language, Luna, is actually an ode to a very special kitty. We’re pretty sure that any day can be a better day with some digital furry friend visitors. #### Team Celebration Box Saying something nice to someone is always a good idea and praise for good work goes a long way. With the Team Celebration Box, you can see what tasks your teammates are completing in real time, and [like](https://asana.com/guide/help/tasks/fields?&_ga=2.96467167.2112215409.1732025071-1518396423.1732025071#gl-likes) their completion to say “nice work!” You can implement any of these hacks by [going into your My Profile Settings](https://asana.com/guide/help/fundamentals/settings#gl-hacks), in the top right-hand corner of your screen on the web, then use the Hacks tab. ## Personalization #### Avatars Share your personality with your teammates by[uploading a standard profile picture](https://asana.com/guide/help/fundamentals/settings) or another representation of your personality — your favorite superhero or power animal, for example. Below are a few of our favorite Asana avatars. #### Themes Give your workspace a facelift by [choosing a theme](https://asana.com/guide/help/fundamentals/about-asana) in Asana that represents your mood. From zen-like Valley and Mineral to Halloween-inspired Spooky, you can customize your screen as often as you like to help you focus on your most important tasks, or inspire deep Focus Mode. ## Communication #### Emoji 👍 A [Polish Week project](https://blog.asana.com/2015/02/emoji-in-asana/) many of us at Asana were 😀 to see come to life, emojis let you add fun and personality to conversations.
