How it works
Take a quick arcade break, rack up a few points, and put your whole team on the leaderboard. Here's how it all comes together.
How a round works
Four things worth knowing before you spend your first token.
- 1
Log in with your work email
Your email domain is your team. Free inboxes (gmail, outlook, and friends) are turned away, because the whole point is organization vs. organization.
- 2
You get 5 tokens a day
Each game costs one token, and a token is spent the moment a run starts, so quitting early doesn't buy you a retry. They refill at midnight US Eastern.
- 3
Only your best run in each game counts
Not your total, and not your last run. Only your personal best in every game is summed, so one great run sticks around while a bad one costs you only a token.
- 4
Your bests roll into your organization's score
An organization's total is the sum of every player's personal bests. One person grinding all day can't carry a team but a few teammates each playing once can!
The boring, reassuring details
Reasonable things to worry about when a game asks for your work address. Here's exactly what happens.
Only your work email
The only information we store is your work email, your organization, your name (unless you choose to remain anonymous), and your scores. No phone number, no photo, nothing imported from anywhere else.
Your email never hits the board
The public leaderboard ranks organizations, not people. On an organization page you appear under the name you picked when you signed in, or as “Anonymous”, if that's what you chose. Your email address will never be shown.
Privacy-friendly analytics
We count visits to see how many people come by and roughly where from. It's cookieless and aggregate and no advertising pixels, no third-party cookies, nothing tied to your identity, nothing sold to anyone.
Nothing to remember
You sign in with a one-time link sent to your inbox. There's no password to create, reuse, or leak.
Five plays a day, on purpose
The daily cap is deliberate so that this stays a two-minute break instead of something that eats your afternoon.
You're not signing up your organization
Playing puts a score on a public board. It isn't a contract, a trial, or a tool anyone at your organization has to administer.
The games
A growing lineup, with more coming soon. One token each, and your best run in every game counts.
Headcount
Every mistake you make gets hired.Clear jobs off the office machines in ten-second sprints. At the end of each one you get sent back to the door, and a copy of you turns up repeating exactly what you just did.Doc Stack
Don't drop the paperwork.Paperwork for days. Drop each document squarely onto the pile. A point per page stacked. Nail the centre to keep the stack wide.Focus Time
The office only interrupts you when you're working.The office is frozen until you start working. Type and it comes at you at full speed. Shuffle your chair and it barely creeps. Let go of everything and it stops dead.Burndown
Clear the backlog. It grows back.Bounce the velocity puck into a wall of backlog tickets. Where it lands on your desk sets the angle it leaves at, so a clean sprint is aim, not luck.The Commute
Mind the mail cart.You're late again. Hop across lanes of office traffic to the far side, over and over, while the screen creeps up behind you.Firewall
Hold the line. They keep coming.Shoot down the swarm of bugs before they breach your SLA. A point each, and every wave comes back faster.Inbox Zero
Deflect the flood.Spin your shield to bat away the incoming. A point per distraction repelled, and a parry to widen the shield when several land at once.They all score at roughly one point per event, on purpose, since only your bests are added together.
That's it. Go play.
Five tokens are waiting. They don't roll over, so you may as well.
