Fibber

Bluffing~8 min

Make up an answer convincing enough to fool the room, then pick the real one out of everyone else’s lies. Workplace honesty, mercifully optional.

9 Letter Word, a free word game to play at work2–20 players

9 Letter Word

Word~5 min

Nine letters, one grid, a pile of words hiding in plain sight. Race the room to dig them out — every word has to use the centre tile, and the long ones are where the smugness lives.

▸ Frequently asked questions

Are the games free to play?
Yes. Every game on Bored at Work is completely free. There are no paid tiers, no in-game purchases, and no trial that expires.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. Everything runs in your browser. There is nothing to install, no plugin, and no app to download. Open the page and play.
Can I play at work? Does it work on work wifi?
Yes, the solo games especially. They run entirely in your browser over standard web traffic with nothing to install, so they work on most office networks and work wifi without anything from IT. The multiplayer games use a live connection that very locked-down networks can sometimes block, but the solo games run regardless.
Do I need an account to play?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Pick a name, start or join a room, and you are playing in seconds.
How many people can play together?
Most multiplayer games support up to 20 players in a room. Some can be played solo as well.
