About A Day at Work
One board, three interruptions
Each row of the board is one hour and 18:00 is the clock-out line. Tasks fall one by one; fill a row to clear that hour. Every few tasks a memo check or an empty promise pops up, and the boss walks by at random. While an event card is up the board and the clock pause until you answer.
Every call changes the board
Get a memo right and the bottom row clears; get it wrong and a row of chores pushes up. Block an empty promise and the next task is a two-cell quick task; get talked into it and the next one is urgent. Miss the 3-second screen switch when the boss walks by and tasks fall faster for 20 seconds.
Three kinds of day, three difficulties
Friday falls slowly with fewer events; Tuesday is standard; Monday falls fast, memos and promises come more often, and all three promise-making managers show up. Start with Friday to get the hang of it.
Fictional content, records stay on this device
The memos, managers' lines and companies are all fictional and are not career or HR advice. The game runs in your browser and only keeps your best score for each kind of day and length on this device; nothing is uploaded.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
How do I play?
Left/right arrows move, Space (or up) rotates, down drops the task to the bottom, P pauses. On a memo card press 1–4 to pick lines, X to stamp it fishy, N to stamp it normal; on a promise card press 1–4 to reply; when the boss walks by press E / M / D to switch screens. Every action has an on-screen button on phones too.
How long is a round?
5 or 10 minutes, and you can pause. The clock also stops while an event card is up, so reading a memo never costs you time.
What does “Same day again” do?
It restarts the exact same tasks with the same memos and promises in the same order. A share link lets friends play that same day too.
Where did Workday Blocks, Everything Is Normal and the Counteroffer Defense Arena go?
They were merged into this game: Workday Blocks became the board, and the memos and empty promises from the other two became event cards. Their old addresses redirect here.
Are my results saved?
Only your best score and the sound setting, on this device. A share link carries just that round's numbers, with no personal data.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Starting a round fills the window with the board and touch controls; use the top-right button to leave the enlarged view.
