The Office: Somehow We Manage – Simulation Game Review
The Office: Somehow We Manage is a Simulation/Casual game from East Side Games Inc, first launched in 26th January 2022.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 25,515+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes The Office: Somehow We Manage Stand Out
Tap your way to record profits at Dunder Mifflin! Get down to business with Michael Scott, Jim Halpert, Pam Beesly, Kelly Kapoor, Dwight Schrute, Stanley Hudson and your Scranton branch favorites and make some sales!
Play through some of the most memorable moments in this brand-new free idle game inspired by NBC’s critically acclaimed Emmy®-winning U.S. version of the comedy The Office, which is streaming exclusively on Peacock. Save your branch from downsizing by selling paper to unlock and upgrade characters, desks, and memorable episodes.
Regional manager Michael Scott needs to improve the Scranton branch's performance to avoid downsizing – easier said than done when Jim won't stop pranking Dwight, Dwight won't stop complaining about Jim, and Stanley won't stop doing crossword puzzles. Look out, though; at the end of each business day Corporate takes their share of the money. Sorry, Michael, it's back to work at the office tomorrow. But don't worry, any upgrades you've built stay with you as your progress in the game and you'll be making more in-game rewards before you know it.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great game but the ads are overwhelming.
Reminds us of the show. Huge fan.
The game crashes every two minutes!! Please fix this.
We love the office and this game is nice and funny. Even if you watched the show this is a good summary of how it was in game form lol.
Feels like the show, and is as funny as the show. So fun.
Its fun to play to pass time HOWEVER there are a ton of bugs that crash the game. It could really use some TLC from developers.
Been playing for a while now . Love it.
Something to do if you have time. Needs more to it but we love it.
How the turntables! This game is addictive and funny af.
Fun game and something you dont have to stay on all day long.
The game is fun! It is buggy, but customer service has been really responsive.
Game is fun but you have to repeatedly reload events which puts you at a huge disadvantage for winning special prizes.
DISASTER! Would be so fun if it ever worked correctly. Sent one more email, and if they ask for our user ID again Just fix it and we'll re review, but we talk A LOT and the fact that we've lost $ and inner game prizes is starting to really get us beyond annoyed. And no it's not an update or delete and reinstall problem otherwise we wouldn't be here. If you want to waste time (but DO NOT pay for anything bc that'll be trash $ sooner or later) and maybe have some fun, this is the game for you.
One of our favorite games. Just hate when it crashes.
The app takes forever to load and there is always a crash with it at least once a day when swapping between mini episodes.
Love the office and addicted to this game.
Ive been playing this game for a few years. Its our go-to game. We love following the storyline and completing the chapters. The best part is the dementorsthats what she said.
This game is fun and addictive, so many funny references to the show.
Been playing for years and still enjoy it.
Really slow pace of play! Who pays for the upgrades? Very few, Im guessing.
Game is pretty straightforward but fun to play for office fans.
Its really a 4.5 star rating, but leaning to 5. Almost everything is smooth. There was a frame rate issue today that cost us a reward and thats ok. We wish there was a way to earn the big prize for the monthly paid reward. The stories give us fun memories of the show. And alternating strategies keeps it fresh. We dont like the fake accounts that are creating competition. And we dont enjoy people absolutely DESTROYING everyone in games because they buy the win. Overall Im having a good time. Thanks team.
We spend our free time bossing ppl around, and reaping the rewards all for ourselves. Youve spent enough time reading this. Get back to work. NOW.
This game is fun. Enough variety to keep us entertained for hours.
Been trying to log into the game since 1pm today and it wont load completely at all. Fix this.
Im addicted! Dont send a urine test.
Enjoying this game and love the show references.
We love your game. If we have to keep clicking four times to get out of an add then we will just stop playing this game that we like.
We love the office theme and quotes. But way too many ads to sit through. Also, all the characters so far, resemble the real characters except Roy. Whats up with that.
It is very satisfying and entertaining. We play it every day. We like watching the scenes and episodes. We like that it can still continue to collect $ when you are not playing when you automate characters.
If you watched the TV series, you would enjoy this game. Its definitely a slow play. Not a heavy competition type game. More like a game that you can play and enjoy the story.
Glitches a lot and the add on are super expensive but other than that it a good game.
We were previously not too happy with the application, since it was having crashing issues. It has gotten better, but there are some crashes here and there.
Love this game, been playing for years, but we REALLY need to be able to play on multiple devices. We play on an iPad, but Id love to be able to check in and collect baskets and rewards on lunch and breaks at work from our phone.
Except for losing a good amount of progress a little while back, its a great game for down time to relax.
It is fun to be replaying episodes. However, when you have offered us the same trade five times and we have rejected it, give us a new one.
App is a little glitchy but otherwise a great game for people who enjoyed the show.
Occasionally you dont get rewarded for tasks, especially ones you put a lot of effort into. Game needs a skip button for cut scenes.
We love the office but this is a pay to win game for sure.
We enjoy the challenges but the game runs slower and slower as we reach higher levels.
Optional ads dont feel optional.
As most people, we love the show The Office which is why we downloaded the game. We like the stories and the events and all the props and desk accessories. All that is great but the game glitches or errors constantly. We had gotten very far in the game and all of a sudden we lost everything. We reached out for help and was told to start over. Not happy.
Ads were broken today, their support page advised iPhone users to DELETE the app to clear cache to potentially resolve the issue what they didnt say was when you re download the app, your account is gone! We reached out to support but Im not holding our breath. How hard is it to add user/password, login/logout options.
We are we fan of the office and so when we saw this game we bought it instantly because we love the office and so we are on episode 5 and so far it is amazing.
Temporarily offload it for some storage.
Our 11 year old son loves the office and wont get if the game it teaches about finances.
After watching the entire office show, playing through this is such a fun experience, not to easy, not to hard, Love it. We like it, 6 stars.
We love this game. All ads are optional, the events keep things fun and interesting, and we love getting to relive the episodes. Only thing we hope they improve in the future is that a lot of the events are repeats, they eventually will recycle events, but they do add new events regularly so theyre working on it.
Seriously we cant give it up and? Its fun.
This is a 10/10 game highly recommend if your a fan of the office the best part is how it includes little animated clips from the office as you do your goals which is great also you arent required to buy something or watch ads amazing game.
