About Game
The Office: Somehow we Manage is an interactive game developed and published by East Side Games. The primary objective of this game is to make profits for your branch by making sales. At the end of each episode, the corporate take their share of profits. At every beginning of an episode, your cash and leads are reset. But the character upgrades, desk upgrades, and decor are permanent.
How to Play
The game starts with a cutscene featuring Michael Scott. You get cash just enough to start a new desk. The desk will earn cash at regular intervals of time. To earn more cash you have to spend it to get more Leads. With every lead, the amount of cash you earn increases. This in turn unlocks other features of the game.
Currencies and Rewards
There are 3 basic currencies in this game:
1. Cash
You earn cash by unlocking and upgrading desks. The amount of cash you earn increases with an increase in leads.
2. Scott Coins
Scott Coins allows you to buy Gift Baskets. There are 3 types of baskets that you can get by spending extra Scott Coins:
- Coffee Basket
- Gift Basket (70 Scott Coins)
- Epic Basket (450 Scott Coins)
These baskets contain up to 10 cards. These cards upgrade your characters, desks, and decor. These can be used to eventually automate the desks. Automating desks will allow you to earn cash even when you are not playing the game.

Buy Leads
Buying leads increases your sales which brings in more cash. So don’t be afraid to spend some. The amount of cash you earn at regular intervals will exponentially increase with more leads.
Use Cash on Higher earning characters
As you unlock new desks, you will notice that the new salesman earns significantly more than the previous one. The downside is the leads are expensive and the intervals are long. But it is worth it to use the cash earned from low earning salesman to buy leads for high earning salesman (eg Jim to Dwight and so on)
Always buy the Epic Basket
