Hello {EMPLOYEE_NAME},
We are delighted to welcome you into the family. You are now a valued member of the team and we expect you to act as such. Failure to do so will result in your immediate termination.
Fill out your staff profile with your name and core skills. You will need these to leverage your synergies for maximum efficiency.
Find and report to your six bosses to complete your onboarding.
To be successful here, you will need to supply your own materials:
- Something to write on
- A flat surface on which to build your map of the office - your cubicle desk will suffice
- A standard deck of cards without the jokers, shuffled - this is your Inbox
- Two six-sided dice (2d6) - these are your Task Dice
- Index cards or random slips of paper - sticky notes are available from the storeroom
- A small token (like a paper clip, or a red stapler)
The game rules are formatted to look and feel like a typical corporate slide deck. You can download them in PDF, PPTX, and KEY files.
The game includes unique events that pull you toward your goal of reporting to your six bosses while you build your map of the office. Failure to report to them before you get five warnings means you lose, so you better get started!

The fact that this has a Keynote version of the game might automatically make it my favorite solo game I've gotten ever!
I’m glad you appreciate the great/awful use of Keynote!
Hello Hugh,
I have been playing your game for a bit on and off. It has been bumping in my mind and with friends especially as someone new in the workforce. As a result, I made a video essay talking about your game and thought to let you know about it.
Thank you for this awesome game, seriously it was a really fun time!
This is a great video! Thanks so much for playing and reviewing Corporate Onboarding. You make some great points - I really enjoyed watching and listening.
I appreciate the game a lot and keep up the awesome work. Excited for your next project!
