In the game

The founder of Vandergen Industries is retiring after fifty years, and he's left one last test behind him. The plan naming his successor is sealed in a vault in the Boardroom of Tomorrow, and the only way up is the Time Elevator: four floors, four perfectly preserved decades of office life, each one certain it knew how the job should be done.

Your team rides through a 1972 executive suite, a 1994 cubicle farm, a 2012 startup loft and a 2024 content studio, winning over each generation before the elevator moves on. Everyone shares one tower. You see the same rooms, the same objects and the same progress, and several moments need more hands than any one person has. Most of the game happens in conversation, describing what you're looking at and working out who takes what.

It's corporate comedy rather than horror, and the jokes are affectionate and visual: fax machines printing cover sheets for cover sheets, a rolodex the size of a dinner plate, a wall of hexagon lights that would like you to know it's on brand. Almost nothing depends on reading English. The clues are icons, numbers, portraits and patterns, so mixed and international teams start on level ground.

How to play

Step 1
Join from a link
Your host sends one link. Open it in a browser, type a name, clock in. Nothing to install, and everyone lands in the lobby together.
Step 2
Look around the floor
Each room is a full 360 space. Drag to look. Glowing markers sit on the things you can pick up and open, so sweep the room before you settle on anything.
Step 3
You're all in one tower
Anyone can open anything, and everyone sees the same state as it changes. Two people can work at opposite ends of a floor at once without waiting on each other.
Step 4
Say what you're seeing
Nobody has the whole picture from where they're standing. The team that talks constantly, out loud, about what's in front of them is the team that gets to the top.
Step 5
Some moments need everyone
A few things on each floor won't move for one person, however clever. When a floor stalls, get the whole group on it before you go hunting for something new.
Step 6
Your host has nudges
A facilitator watches from an operator console and can offer a hint whenever you want one. Ask early. Nobody wins points for being stuck politely.

The team report

Play the game. Keep the evidence.

Every floor splits the group up and then makes it converge again. The report shows who drove the split, who carried what they found across it, and how cleanly the team came back together. Our reporting bot sits in on your video call while you play, and the reports land in your inbox minutes after the game ends. They are built from what your team said in the game, not from a survey.
