About the Game

Who says that work and play don’t mix? Not us! Play Pocket Boss, the game where you handle lots of fun data and one not-so-fun boss.

A delightfully odd fusion of work and play

In Pocket Boss, you’re a remote employee working with business data to make your boss happy. And the boss needs so much done! Increase productivity, boost customer satisfaction, make losses disappear, erase competitors — all with just a swipe of your finger. As you solve ever-funkier data puzzles, your boss watches your progress closely, wondering if you’ve got what it takes to earn that promotion. Well, have you?

Features

  • Fix puzzling charts and bend the trends. Make your company’s productivity, shareholder value, and customer trust shine — at least on paper.

  • Pie charts, bar charts, scatter plots: drag, pinch, pull and push all kinds of charts to make them behave while your boss pushes for results.

  • Chat with your boss. Yes, it can be awkward, and that’s funny – but what if it affects your promotion?

  • Solve the mysteries of equal pay.

Play time: 30-60 minutes
