Inside the game

How your choices shape this result

The answer weights below are the rules used by this game. Add the points from your chosen options; the outcome with the highest total wins. These points express our game design, not a measurement of you or anyone else.

When outcomes tie, a repeatable calculation chooses between them. Names can affect that tie-break; they do not reveal private information. Percentages, initials, ages and dates in outcome titles are authored parts of the story, not calculated probabilities or forecasts.

Explore the possible outcomes

You can read every outcome before playing. Compare a theme with a real example from your life, and keep any part that gives you a useful question.

The Research Loft

Your fictional office protects time to understand a problem before rushing toward a solution. Its shelves are useful only when the team turns information into clearer choices.

A prompt to try: Write the question before gathering more information.

The Experiment Garage

Your office makes unfinished work visible and easy to change. The interesting part is watching an assumption become something the team can test.

A prompt to try: Show a rough example and ask one focused question.

The Collaboration Courtyard

Your office is arranged around work people do together. Its best feature is the everyday agreement about how to ask for help and share context.

A prompt to try: Make one shared expectation explicit and practical.

The Story Studio

Your office treats presentation as a way to clarify the work itself. Words, images, and examples help the team understand what it is trying to make.

A prompt to try: Describe an idea from the audience's point of view.

About this game

The idea behind Your Imaginary Office

Build a workplace around the kind of tasks and collaboration you enjoy imagining, without treating the result as career advice.

This game contrasts The Research Loft, The Experiment Garage, The Collaboration Courtyard, and The Story Studio. Choose the scene you would enjoy, then compare the result with another route through the story. The scoring guide on this page shows exactly which themes each option supports.

Behind the result

Consistent, not predictive

Your choices add the points shown in the scoring guide above; a repeatable calculation resolves ties. The same answers return the same result. No answer can verify a fact, identify another person, or forecast a real event.

Make it social

A better conversation starter

Compare your Your Imaginary Office outcomes. Read the other person’s story as well as your own, then each explain one choice you nearly made differently.
