Today is the day we’ve been working towards all year: a huge international mega-conglomeration is going to be coming to see if they are interested in buying our company. If they do, it's salary packages and company cars for everyone. If they don’t, we’ll be bankrupt within months and we all lose our jobs.
Unfortunately, the night before our big pitch, our company suffered sudden irretrievable data loss. Each department needs to recreate our lost presentations by the end of the business day, while also maintaining their regular duties.
Lucky you remember how to do your job, isn’t it?
CHOOSE YOUR DEPARTMENT

Development Team
Creative Innovators
The only people doing any real work around here. They who can delay the project have the true power over it.
Their boss wants them to perform an impossible task on time and under-budget, and something’s gotta give.

Management
Team Builders & Destroyers
They can ruin any day with a meeting that could have been an email. Cross them, and you'll be called into the Boss’s office for a performance review.
They only succeed if everyone succeeds - unless a department goes over-budget, in which case they’ll throw them under the bus in a heartbeat…

Legal Division
Strategists
The only ones who know how to read that contract you signed 12 months ago. Nothing you have is safe from an audit.
Their job is to prevent anyone getting in serious trouble - or at least keep their own hands clean…

Marketing Department
Charismatic Fast-Talkers
Master manipulators or just well meaning himbos? Sometimes these silver tongued devils can get people to do things for them that they later regret.
Their job is to figure out how to ‘sell’ the malfunctioning, hideous, unethical, politically incorrect, and pointless. A job their boss desperately needs done quickly.
“People often ask me what we do here at Bear & Minimum - and I ask them:
What don’t we do? Get back to work.”
