I have always enjoyed building and playing puzzles. I am a regular user of NYT Games and LinkedIn Games. I thought it would be fun to create some corporate-themed puzzles as a silly alternative to LinkedIn Games.So, I built Corporate Mind Games. The games are intended to be a little bit sassy and sarcastic, but I hope they are enjoyable and challenging.I was planning to post this on HN last week. However, many years ago, I made a game called Don't Wordle, which unexpectedly appeared on the front page last week. I ended up getting distracted by that, and I also figured it was more appropriate to post this game on HN on a Monday morning given the theme. So here we are.

Concerns raised: AI-generated design feels generic and default-themed, RTO commute wastes employee time without productivity gains, Open plan offices with constant video calls defeat purpose of in-person work, RTO used as soft layoff strategy rather than genuine productivity measure, Poor office layouts (shared desks, noise, lack of privacy) harm mental health
Feature requests: Tweak design to look less like default AI theme, Consider office perks and workspace quality in RTO simulation
