If you start at 0 then watch an ad then click the button for the money you’ll see it’s not double. ### 4/5 — Pay to win like usual *2026-08-17, version 1.45.0* Love the game to an extent, you’ll pretty much sit at the same level for a while and the trades won’t benefit you, you run out of the “money” constantly, all the events shown you have to spend all your tokens that also are a pain to get, and then also put in real money if you want a shot at any beneficial reward and you still might come in 50th place and get close to nothing, been like this for a while now, really debating on deleting it all together ### 2/5 — Slow progress *2026-08-16, version 1.45.0* Slow progress. Seems like they want you to get tired of waiting and pay for coins. Meh experience. ### 4/5 — Fun time waster *2026-08-16, version 1.45.0* I really enjoy this game, with only one flaw, I watch ads to get double XP, but it doesn’t always give the full amount of time, I’ll leave the game and come back a few moments later and it’s no longer active. ### 2/5 — What’s the point? *2026-08-13, version 1.45.0* It’s cute but it’s not fun at all. I don’t get the point. ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-08-05, version 1.45.0* A nice game for my favorite show of all time ### 4/5 — 9/10 *2026-08-03, version 1.45.0* not glitchy, great story line that actually goes with the show. if you’re an office fan i would totally recommend this game. ### 3/5 — Add heavy *2026-08-03, version 1.45.0* This is a fun game that follows the office episodes, but it’s very ad heavy in order for you to earn currency. I wish I could pay for an ad free version. ### 3/5 — Cash Grabby *2026-07-30, version 1.45.0* The art is superb. Clearly made by people who enjoy the series, with plenty of references and scene-accurate dialogue. They massacred the IP though by making it virtually unplayable after a few levels without investing heavily with IRL funds. Progress will slow to a halt as you will not have the necessary character upgrades nor the means to obtain them, or you won’t have the required decor piece yet and can’t buy it. The in-game revenue generated also grows exponentially to absurd levels, scaling way past trillions of dollars. Weird and unnecessary.. what even is $200aa? True Office fans will appreciate the accuracy, but you won’t get to enjoy it for long as you’ll be stuck in the same episode for a week or more. Verdict: you don’t want to work here. ### 3/5 — Just a little sticous *2026-07-30, version 1.45.0* Fun game. Like all games these days, a stupid amount of adds unless you want to pay. I’d give it more stars if there weren’t so many annoying adds. ### 3/5 — Pay to Play *2026-07-30, version 1.45.0* Once you’re past them giving you tons of coffee pots, then you’re in the real game. Takes FOREVER to get coffee pots….. definitely a pay to play game. ### 5/5 — Funny *2026-07-26, version 1.45.0* Very funny and fun love this game ### 5/5 — Cute *2026-07-24, version 1.45.0* I enjoy how accurate the game is the actual show ! Very fun and easy to play ! ### 4/5 — Love The Office, but… *2026-07-23, version 1.45.0* It takes quite a while just to generate enough cash to move on starting Episode 5. I’ve been on the same episode all day just because I can’t upgrade a decor item or any more characters without opening my wallet ### 2/5 — Too many adds *2026-07-23, version 1.45.0* I enjoy the game as it is a way to remember the funny scenes of the office, but the adds are so frustrating. I wish there was an add free version. You have to waste so much time watching adds ### 4/5 — It's good *2026-07-21, version 1.45.0* It's like I'm watching the show ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads keep freezing *2026-08-15, version 1.45.0* Might be missing some rewards but mostly ads keep freezing ### 1/5 — Too Many Bots *2026-08-04, version 1.45.0* Just want to say outright that this is a fun game but if you’re competitive then good luck! Too many times I’ve competed and paid real money in events, leading the scoreboard only to be snubbed by a bot in the last 10 seconds of the events by a ‘player’ who just appeared on the scoreboard. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — What’s the plot? *2026-08-04, version 1.45.0* The game is designed well in terms of functionality but what’s the point? It feels almost impossible to excel in this game, it takes forever to earn the cash and the x2 when you watch an AD doubles everything! Not just your earnings ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-07-21, version 1.45.0* Worst app on the platform ### 1/5 — No way to save. *2026-07-08, version 1.45.0* You cannot play your same game on multiple devices. Not spending anymore until my account is safe ### 1/5 — Langue *2026-06-19* Mettez en FRANÇAIS s’il vous plais ### 1/5 — Game crashes and is unfair to play *2026-05-29, version 1.45.0* They steal your money and when you ask for support some how it’s your fault. Events won’t load you can’t complete episodes with out spending money. Rude and unintelligent: support ### 1/5 — Hope you have a lot of money or time *2026-05-11, version 1.45.0* Duh at first, but then to upgrade you either need to play for several days (human days not game days) or pay to upgrade and move forward in the game. ### 1/5 — Love the game but *2026-05-10, version 1.45.0* I love the game, but it crashes a lot. Do better Updates seem to have made the game worse. About ready to quit playing. Can’t even open a chest in an event without the game just crashing. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 15 *2026-05-03, version 1.45.0* I downloaded this game to try it out and it won’t even load past the title screen. I’m stuck at 72% on my iPhone 15. What gives? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — If you miss the show. *2026-08-11, version 1.45.0* Really good game. Good reminder of things that happened in the series. ### 5/5 — Threat level midnight *2026-08-11, version 1.45.0* Bears beats Battlestar Galactica ### 5/5 — Brookie cookie 133 *2026-08-10, version 1.45.0* It’s very fun ads are optional, but Mike always peeks and always get to wear your time. There’s lots of fun events in it totally recommend five stars. ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-08-09, version 1.45.0* Cool ### 5/5 — Game review *2026-08-05, version 1.45.0* Love this ❤️ ### 5/5 — I love the office and this is a great game *2026-08-03, version 1.45.0* Would recommend ### 5/5 — You play through every episode!! *2026-08-01, version 1.45.0* I don’t get why it has 4 stars. ### 5/5 — Scandalous tm *2026-08-01, version 1.45.0* Love it ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-28, version 1.45.0* Really fun game has some funny parts from the show ### 5/5 — Fun little game *2026-07-27, version 1.45.0* Love the office show. Love the game. Gives me lots of nostalgia. Would be great to have the ads for in game purchases move over or “hideaway” until “hovered on “ so we can see the display just a bit more. (: fun game tho --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
