How to play 

Route calls

There are three switchboards in your office. When a switchboard lights up…

1. Approach and interact with it
2. Connect the lit line to your own phone (on the right) to hear the request
3. Plug the lit line into the correct recipient (on the bottom)

Callers won’t hold forever and too many dropped calls will lead to your termination.

Drink coffee

If your coffee level gets too low (or too high), your vision will start to blur.

Gossip

Memorize the juicy details you pick up on the phone lines and listen for gossip opportunities at the door.
