Is there an Office game where you can live in Scranton, Pennsylvania?

The Office life simulator

There is no official Office life sim that we know of. Instead, LifeSim places you in the real city of Scranton on a 3D map. You describe an everyday worker, and the AI people around you talk back and remember you.

The bored salesperson

Unofficial and fan-made. LifeSim is not affiliated with or endorsed by NBCUniversal. You play original characters inspired by The Office, not the official story.

Setting the mockumentary directly in Scranton

The television mockumentary focuses on a mid-sized paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The show turns everyday work into a comedy of awkward meetings, rivalries, and office romance. LifeSim features a 3D map of the real Earth, so you can build an office life right in Scranton. You type a description of your regional manager, and the simulation places them on the actual streets.

The real Scranton is a working city that contains actual landmarks from the opening credits. Television production mainly happened near Los Angeles, but the show includes real Pennsylvania locations. You can strike up a conversation outside the Pennsylvania Paper & Supply Co. The tower of this paper building is one of the most recognizable structures from the comedy series.

Who you can be

A quietly competent salesperson

You balance paper sales goals, commissions, and break room gossip. Your phone receives text messages about mild workplace drama and minor office pranks. You plan lunch trips to local Pennsylvania spots for a break from your busy desk block.

An overeager middle manager

You try extremely hard to boost morale and organize strange morning meetings. You plan group outings to local Scranton restaurants to force friendships. The AI characters react to your awkward comedy and your poor management ideas. You write your own jokes in the text box.

A strict assistant manager

You build your routine around office rules and intense weekend hobbies. You maintain a structured calendar for every small paperwork procedure. You end your day by practicing martial arts or running a local farm. The warehouse workers often ignore your demands for total loyalty.

A busy warehouse worker

You move heavy paper shipments and ignore the annoying office romance upstairs. You meet your loading dock crew at Poor Richard’s Pub after long shifts. Your daily recap tracks the cash you spend on these evening drinks. You completely avoid the daily drama of the sales floor.

A friendly receptionist

You sit at a front desk and learn the exact schedules of everyone. You plan awkward birthday drinks and answer numerous phone calls. You use your free time to pursue art goals outside of the paper supply chain. The people around the office share their secrets with you.

Tracking a paper salesperson through the week

David, 27, works at a small paper distributor in Scranton and seeks quiet comfort. He sets a life goal to earn a massive commission and finish his creative portfolio. His daily to-do list includes making three sales calls and planning a harmless workplace prank. He uses the free text box to chat with his desk mate about the overeager middle manager.

On Wednesday, public karaoke appears on the map at Poor Richard’s Pub. David walks there after his long sales shift and encounters a friendly receptionist named Chloe. They discuss the workplace absurdity of their company and share their private ambitions. The people in LifeSim maintain a long-term journal of past events and your previous conversations.

By Friday, Chloe texts David on her own to ask about his weekend plans. He uses his phone interface to invite her to lunch at Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe. Outings can change your character health, your money, and your social relationships in the city. David finishes the work week with a daily recap that tracks his new friendship and his daily choices.

How licensed video games handle the workplace

We know of no official Office life sim that grants you a complete open city. The licensed video games are a 2007 PC release and a 2022 mobile phone app. The PC title is a time-management game where players complete assigned tasks and execute pranks. The mobile app, The Office: Somehow We Manage, is an idle game where participants sell paper.

LifeSim plays differently from a time-management game or a corporate business simulator. The browser game lacks a fixed salary system and a formal career ladder to climb. Your text chats and your daily Scranton activities manage your available cash flow instead. You set your own personal goals, such as finding a found family among your unusual colleagues.

Visiting local fan locations and sharing food

The U.S. comedy series features genuine Scranton businesses that fans frequently visit today. In LifeSim, you can use the built-in search tool to find these locations on the map. You can plan an afternoon hiking trip on the trails near Lake Scranton. This local walking area is a real reservoir that appears in several memorable television storylines.

You can also look for The Marketplace at Steamtown to gather your local friends. Fans of the comedy often take group photos near the relocated welcome sign inside the mall. The Office: The Story of Us Mural in downtown Scranton is another popular meeting spot. Your phone keeps your contacts organized so you can invite your warehouse crew to see the public fan tribute.
