The Challenge

Secretly build collections of office supplies on Non-Player Colleagues’ (NPC) desks or workspaces. See how many supplies you can leave behind before EOW or before getting caught.

Cat in Peanut PileThe Catch(es)

  • Supplies must be left on an NPC desk/workspace. Your own desk or Player Colleague (PC) desks are not allowed
  • Only one type of item per desk – e.g., just pens, just batteries, just paperclips, etc.
  • If you are caught, you have three options:
    • Convince NPCs the items are their own
    • Admit your shenanigans and move along
    • Admit your shenanigans and recruit the NPC to join the challenge
  • Player Vs. Player sabotage is allowed by alerting an NPC to shenanigans
  • Please return office supplies to their rightful places at EOW. Or, not. I’m a bullet point, not a cop.

WFH or Out & About

For those who work from home or simply want to take your challenges outside the office, simply move your collections to:

  • shared/communal places within your home
  • public spaces (think of your collections as art installations… sort of)
  • any non-home venues you frequent on a daily basis – coffee shops, libraries, etc.

If none of that works for you, please consider following us on Twitter or Facebook for our frequent, intensely silly micro-challenges.
