About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an office meeting like no other! In Clue: The Office, you and your friends take on the roles of iconic characters from the show, forced by the infamous Michael Scott to participate in a real-life detective game. The objective? To find out who was responsible for a heinous crime: the death of poor Toby. The gameplay is familiar to anyone who has played the classic Clue, but with a special Dunder Mifflin twist. You'll move around the board, make accusations, and try to piece together the puzzle. The game-changer here are the 'Intrigue Cards', which can be good or bad. They appear when you roll a question mark on the custom dice, land on a special space, or when someone makes a rumor about you. Some cards give you unique advantages, the 'Keepers', while others, the 'Clocks', bring you closer to defeat. Be careful, because if you draw the eighth 'Clock' card, it's game over – you lose instantly! To make things even more fun, each character has a unique, one-time-use ability that can change the course of the game. Imagine Dwight moving twice or Pam gaining an unexpected advantage. The grand prize? An extra week of vacation, courtesy of the boss! It's a mix of deduction, luck, and a bit of administrative chaos, perfect for fans of the series who want a more thematic and lighthearted experience.

Quick answers before you buy
How many players can participate?
The game is for 3 to 6 players, perfect for gathering your office buddies (or your own crew!).
How long does a game take?
Each game lasts about 45 minutes, ideal for a work break or a game night that doesn't drag on too long.
Are the rules very complicated to learn?

Do I need to know the TV show The Office to play?
It helps a lot! The fun of the game lies in the references and character abilities that are faithful to the show. Without knowing it, the theme loses a lot of its impact.
Are the intrigue cards really bad?
They add an interesting risk! The 'Clocks' bring you closer to defeat, but the 'Keepers' offer bonuses. You need a bit of luck and good risk management.
Does it come with everything I need to play?
Yes, the game includes the board, pawns, custom dice, character cards, and intrigue cards. The only thing to note is the potential need to translate the cards if your group doesn't read English.
