The Office strikes a deal for a videogame

by Anna Johns, posted Jun 20th 2007 2:00PM
the office castNBC Universal has whored out sold rights for The Office to videogame company MumboJumbo. According to Variety, MumboJumbo makes "inexpensive arcade-style games". It wants to make a game where players have to perform office tasks and play pranks on other characters. Actual audio and video clips from the show will also be featured in the game. MumboJumbo has rights to the likeness of the cast, who will appear as bobblehead dolls.

Basically, it's a simple and cheap "casual" game that is being produced for low-powered systems like Nintendo DS and Sony PSP handheld--and also for the PC. MumboJumbo's website boasts that it creates addictive, casual videogames. The game will premiere this fall and will likely be available online as well as in stores.

I LOVE IT!!!

Since the Office and videogames are my two favorite things in life, i couldn't be happier. even if it is a simple game, it will probably still be hilarious and good for a laugh!

I whole-heartedly agree with Porchland. I wonder what kind of artillery the BFG-2000 would fire; Perhaps a stapler in a gelatin mold.

First-person shooter would have been better. ;-)
