It’s the gaming vibe that equates to watching the show…

This game has no pressure of countdown clocks… no ‘fail’… no ‘losing lives’.
It works for me, and occasionally makes me laugh. Enjoy.

Pay to win events

The game is fun. But I do not like that the events are pay to win. Unless you purchase the character cards, you’ll never receive them just by playing the game. You won’t be able to upgrade the character, the characters desk, or speed the time they generate sales. It makes the event aspect of the game unappealing. You should really think about updating the algorithm for how often you receive the important characters cards, or stop making the events pay to win

Update #1 upgrading is not the issue. Making the events pay to win in order to get the cards you need to upgrade is the issues that I’m speaking about. I’m events, if you do not pay for the x1.2 currency x35 character cards and another x35 character cards. You will not gain them rapidly enough to remain in the competition for the event. You have to spend way too much money on this game. Sadly, I’m going to have to delete it

Update #2 there’s way too many fake people that jumpy to the front of the leaderboard out of nowhere and are all of a sudden ahead wide margin. The events are pointless. The regular episodes are useless. If you finish too early you won’t get all boxes and you leave so much behind. But if you play the game out it takes forever. Good idea, terrible execution

Love it

It’s the office, what’s not to love?!

Fun game but…

Fun little game, dunno why I find it so addictive .. fun going through the little episodes reminding me of how good the show was.

But, I don’t understand why the money figures have to get so high that it’s past billions trillions and into “aa” or “av” etc just make the figures lower. No need.

But, to get rewards you need to watch ads (don’t neeeed to but it helps) some ads 5-20seconds no dramas one click to close… others are 30-45sec… wait 5 sec, close it… opens up the download ap page close that.. oh wait 5 sec close again… joooookes man.

It’s also hard to complete some of the events, if it’s a 1-2d event, and I’m working (12hr shift, plus 6-8hrs sleep) it makes it very very hard to play catch up… the baskets that drop every 1.5-3hrs or so, should accumulate.

And annoying that sometimes you switch to another ap say Facebook Insta snap twitter whatever switch back to office 30 seconds later, and the office ap needs to reboot. Prob more a phone thing than anything.

Anyways great little addictive game.

Fun for 20 mins

I'm not sure if I'm missing something as far as progression goes in this game but it quickly grinds to a halt. For the first 20 mins you go through tutorials & acquire some in game resources to play. Then the resources stop & the game seems to be at a stand still. You collect lots of in game money but as far as I know you aren't able to do anything with it apart from upgrade desks to earn more money.

Progress seems to be locked behind in game resources that you don't acquire outside of in app purchases. After my first time playing ground to a halt, I've left the game for 3 days, came back & I still can't progress in any way. I have no problem with slow progression in a free game but this seems non existent.

The office references & art styles are good fun but I'm not sure what there is in terms of gameplay to warrant in app purchases to access it. Some of these are to the value of two AAA games. Where is the production value or content to support this?

App is for 12+ so why the 17+ ads with half naked women

This app used to be more wholesome with innocent ads. I’m 37 and happily married and I don’t want to be seeing these ads either. Kids should not be able to be exposed to these ads especially when you advertise as 12+. Definitely disappointed.

Response from developer

Hey there, unfortunately we would need to identify the particular ad(s). There are thousands of possible ads and everyone sees different ones as the ad networks attempt to curate them for you. If you notice "this ad didn't give me anything" then try to keep that in the back of your mind and if you see it again, then you may screenshot it (ideally the end screen) so we can track it down. You can email our support team directly at support@theofficeswm.zendesk.com.

Pay to play

At some point of the game you literally can’t play until you pay and you will need to pay every level

Response from developer

Hi there, we really appreciate the feedback. We’ve worked hard to balance the gameplay so players can progress forward without needing to spend real-world money. It just takes a little longer.

Garbage with zero support

Game keeps crashing when trying to collect event winnings. Submitted a ticket to support, radio silence from the developers. Game was fun until it wasn’t.

Response from developer

Hey there, sorry to hear you didn't receive your event rewards, our team is looking into this issue. Please email our support team at support@theofficeswm.zendesk.com with your User ID and the event you didn't receive rewards from, and our team will add those missing rewards to your game as soon as possible.

Fun for fans, unless you’re a game player

Tone of cute graphics that relive nostalgic moments from the series, but in terms of gameplay, there are many red flags. Bug issues and glitches make event gameplay difficult and distracted. It is nearly impossible to accomplish milestones during events unless you spend money on perks and upgrades. There might be an event once every other month that will reward coins and cards that could progress players. But at the end of the day, this is a game designed for users with cash to burn, or don’t mind being reminded that the game prefers players that have cash to spend. Friendly staff is available, but relies heavily on automated message responses to frequent error codes. Error 41, 42, 43, 46, 12 and 2 will all be met with the same message: Disable any and all VPNs/Proxies on your device or network. Games on these connections can be rejected by our servers. Turn airplane mode on, wait a minute, then disable it and boot the game up again. Switch to another Wi-Fi network and see if the issue persists. If another Wi-Fi network doesn't do the trick, try switching to cellular data and see if it loads fine there.

Overall good game!

Generally enjoy the game but it would be nice if there were more low budget bundles. Sometimes on the events you have 79p deals, it would be nice if these were available more.

I like the addition of the leaderboard to the events. It’s another spin to the event. It would be nice to have mini events, I have another game that periodically offers a 24:48 hour event where every milestone you reach for unit upgrades you can earn a gem, it’s a way of being able to build up parts of the game you’d normally have to pay for, or earn slowly through milestones.

Also the trade in the main game doesn’t work, the symbol is there but it doesn’t work when I click it.
