Tap your way to record profits at Dunder Mifflin! Get down to business with Michael Scott, Jim Halpert, Pam Beesly, Kelly Kapoor, Dwight Schrute, Stanley Hudson and your Scranton branch favorites and make some sales! Play through some of the most memorable moments in this brand-new free idle game inspired by NBC’s critically acclaimed Emmy®-winning U.S. version of the comedy The Office, which is streaming exclusively on Peacock. Save your branch from downsizing by selling paper to unlock and upgrade characters, desks, and memorable episodes. Regional manager Michael Scott needs to improve the Scranton branch's performance to avoid downsizing - easier said than done when Jim won't stop pranking Dwight, Dwight won't stop complaining about Jim, and Stanley won't stop doing crossword puzzles. Look out, though; at the end of each business day Corporate takes their share of the money. Sorry, Michael, it's back to work at the office tomorrow. But don't worry, any upgrades you've built stay with you as your progress in the game and you'll be making more in-game rewards before you know it. GAME FEATURES COLLECT ICONIC CHARACTER IN-GAME Tap, click, and upgrade to collect some of the most memorable characters from The Office including Prison Mike, Farmer Dwight, Pretzel Day Stanley, and of course Three Hole Punch Jim. RELIVE MEMORABLE EPISODES FROM THE OFFICE Click through memorable episodes from all nine seasons, like "The Dundies" and "Dinner Party"! Take a seat in Michael's office, get in line for Pretzel Day, or spend the weekend at the Schrute Farms. Oh, and watch out for Kevin's famous chili! EARN IN-GAME REWARDS TO KEEP THE BRANCH AFLOAT Manage Dunder Mifflin Scranton with the help of the whole branch! Get new leads, and tap away as the in-game rewards start rolling in. Just make sure Michael doesn't spend the surplus on a new HD television!

Played for a couple weeks and now the game is refusing to open and crashes when trying to download assets, like 5 times. It downloads the asset, then says I need more then crashes. This game has become unplayable. There are so many saving failures within the game. You move into the next level, win your Scottcoins, and then it refuses to load the next episode. So you have to restart the app. It then moves onto the next chapter but doesn’t give you any rewards. This has happened multiple times. The events are trash and are not even GUARANTEED the rewards you actually win. I got up to 13/15 rewards for the last event, Pretzel Day, and it just ended, and I’m not allowed to get my rewards. It’s immediately trying to get ready for a new event. This game is a waste of time and your mental health. Do not download. If you have this game, I suggest deleting it to save your mental sanity Too many times does this game not save your progress and forces you to restart from the last opening, which could delete a lot of progress, especially the events. Reporting bugs and issues is horrible and never get solved. This is a TRASH APP. They’ve claimed to fix the events but this latest one had erased progress 4 times, and all four I made a lot. This company is trash, DOESNT CARE ABOUT IT CUSTOMERS, never responds to complaints and honestly deserves to go bankrupt and have every employee blackballed from working in the computer science field

Edited to update:So after the most recent update, I decided to re-download. I had to wait and work myself up past where I was previously before I updated this review. But as of right now, everything is running great! You could fly through each episode but I’ve taken my time to complete all (if not, most) of the challenges in each episode and it’s helped collect a decent amount of cards that are typically hard to get. The Events help in this aspect as well so as long as they keep those coming, I shouldn’t have an issue. Changed my review from 2 to 5 stars. Shoutout to the devs for listening and reading these reviews! Big sad! Die hard fan of The Office, so naturally I had to download this game. Unfortunately, every time I get to episode 8 or 9, the game doesn’t let me log back in 😔Once the game starts to load, the ‘download assets’ screen will pop up. I’ll hit ‘download’ and either the game will just force close or the ‘download assets’ will hit 100%, go away, and then pop back up asking me to ‘download’ again. I’ve wanted this game to work so bad that I’ve completely deleted it on 4 separate occasions and had to repeat all of my progress just for this bug/glitch to happen again. I’ve even tried turning off my wifi and using data but to no avail. If not for this issue, I’d definitely give it 5 stars. I’ll probably just delete it indefinitely for now and maybe if I come back in a few months and it works then I can change this to 5 stars.

Seriously my favorite game ever! I’m obsessed.

Always been a huge office fan and I love idle games as I’m a stay at home mom and sometimes it’s about the only way I can get a little break and be entertained without having to use much mental energy 😂I’ve been playing for a couple months now and honestly spending WAY too much money on a game when I’ve agreed NOT to spend money on games so we can save 🤦🏻‍♀️ but I get so into this game and want to get ahead faster to reach more chapters! It’s a terrible habit BUT, the game really is THAT good. I’ve had a few bugs here in there with my purchase rewards disappearing and game time not saving. It’s anew game so, they’re still working out the kinks. Normally, that’d be IT for me playing a game or at the very least I’d never trust them to spend money again. But, I also think that the customer service team for this game is just wonderful and efficient. Every single time I have had an issue that I reported, I had a response within 1-2 business days and they typically had my issue resolved by 1 or 2 messages! *tip- if you do have an issue- take a screenshot of your user I’d found on the settings page and send that in with your initial issue report. Sometimes that information alone is all they need to come to a resolution!And since the new update, I haven’t had this issue once! So yes- absolutely amazing game and about the only app I’ve ever taken this much time to review when I wasn’t even prompted. 🙌🙌

So glad you’re digging the game. You having fun is the name of the game! (Well not the actual name of the game but you know what we mean.) It’s why we do what we do!

Update: the devs clearly are listening to complaints and working to make the game better! I’ve gotten tons of decor cards recently and now I’m back to being able to automate most of my desks! It’s the most helpful that they added decor cards to the store, because I’m able to buy up the ones I need to catch up on all the cards that didn’t drop for me earlier. Now this is easily a 5 star game. I love that I get progress even when I’m not playing and I really love getting to relive some of the funniest The Office moments!I should love this game. I love the office and idle games are perfect for how busy I am. But it’s not really an idle game if I can’t automate any of the workers, is it?? All of my decor is too low level to automate anyone and I never get any decor cards, so in order to make any money I have to keep the game open and keep tapping everyone’s desks (since many of my workers are upgraded to the point that they earn more money in seconds). I’ve read the help file on how to earn more cards so don’t tell me how to earn them. I earn cards, but none of them are decor cards. You shouldn’t advertise this as an idle game if you require players to spend tons of time paying attention to it. Also, the event button overlaps with the money piles at the desks, so half the time I’m trying to collect money I end up jumping into the event on accident and having to wait for two loading screens just to collect some cash.

Hey There, so sorry for the issues. We're currently looking into decor drop rates as some people have no issues getting decor cards, and others do. If you have any helpful details, you can send them our was via support@theofficegameswm.zendesk.com and we'll pass it along to our team for their investigations. We appreciate you patience!
