Need a hand with a hostile work environment? Contact office_politics_game@icloud.com. Office Politics is developed by Larry Foulkrod.
For a game issue, include your iPhone model, iOS version, game version/build, which meeting you were playing, and what happened. A screenshot or short recording helps. Please avoid including sensitive information in screenshots or custom meme text you send to support.
How do I play?
Drag on the left side of the screen to move. Tap ATTACK to strike a nearby opponent, COFFEE to throw a mug, or TPS REPORTS when its charge is full. Clear a meeting to receive the next calendar invitation. The roster opens practice for each of the five meetings.
How do I earn stars?
Each successful meeting can award three stars:
- Clear the meeting.
- Win without taking a hit.
- Win without throwing coffee.
The two bonuses are independent. Three stars require both challenges in the same successful attempt; objectives from different attempts do not combine. TPS Reports is still allowed. A hit means damage actually applied to your character; an attack stopped by cover or temporary invulnerability does not count. A coffee throw counts even if it misses or hits furniture, and refilling does not restore that bonus. Empty or paused button taps do not count. The objectives stop changing when the last enemy is defeated.
The timer does not award stars. A campaign can earn fifteen stars across its five meetings. A new run starts a fresh total; compare it with Last Run and Best. Retrying a failed meeting keeps stars earned in earlier meetings and starts the current meeting's challenges fresh. Practice does not change campaign records. Existing saved runs keep their original star totals; this update does not recalculate past results under the new rules.
How do coffee and TPS Reports work?
Each meeting or retry starts with six health, three coffee mugs, and 40% TPS charge. Landed regular attacks and coffee hits add charge. Four landed hits fill the initial charge; seven refill it after using TPS Reports. TPS hits nearby enemies, so move within range before activating it.
Every room has a coffee station. Enter its front approach area to collect one mug, up to three. After collection, it brews for six seconds of active combat; leave and return for the next mug. Brewing finishes silently. A full inventory leaves the ready mug available. Pause and backgrounding freeze the brew, and a retry or new meeting resets it. Defeating enemies does not refill coffee.
Why did my fight restart after closing the game?
Backgrounding pauses the game; tap Resume when you return. If you force quit or iOS closes the app, an unfinished fight is not restored. Cleared meetings are recorded as that interrupted run; you return to the lobby. The game does not have accounts or its own cloud-save service.
What if I cannot hear the audio?
Check the game's Sound setting, your iPhone's media volume and Silent Mode, and whether audio is routed to headphones or another device. Tap Resume after returning to the game. The game's music yields to music or podcasts already playing on your phone. If the problem continues, tell support what you were doing and which audio output you used.
How do I make and save a memo?
Open SEND A MEMO from the lobby or a result screen. Choose Meeting Transcript or Boss Creator, choose the cast, and edit the joke. SHARE MEMO opens the iOS share sheet. Choose Save Image or another app. Saving may ask for permission to add an image to Photos; the game does not browse your photo library.
Save or share a memo before closing its editor if you want to keep it. Draft text is kept during that editing session, not saved as a permanent project. The artwork and editor work offline. A messaging or social app you choose may need an internet connection.
What is included in the purchase?
The launch version includes all five meetings, practice, and both memo creators. This version has no ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.
