Double Booked

Your calendar is a puzzle board. Your boss is the one dropping the pieces.

Meeting invites fall onto a Monday to Friday calendar. Steer each one into a day, and fill a whole time slot across all five days to clear it: that hour is cancelled and gone from your week. Everything you fail to place keeps stacking toward the top of the day. Guard the lunch break, because a meeting that lands on it costs you a lunch, and three lost lunches end your career.

27 promotions, each one worse than the last

You start as an Intern and climb to Out of Office. Every promotion adds exactly one new problem, and then it stays with you for good:

• Meetings that merge and give you the slot back when three of a colour touch
• A boss who wants something done before the next invite lands
• Tiny invites pinned in mid-air that refuse to move
• Conflicts: rows that will not clear until you land the same colour next to them
• Short calls that only fill part of a slot, standups that grow, recurring meetings that keep coming back
• Late-career nonsense: timezone shifts that slide the whole week, reorgs that swap two days, hidden agendas, fire drills, the offsite

Your tools

• "This could've been an email": free enough slots and you get to wipe a row of your choice
• Propose a new time: park the falling invite and bring it back when it fits
• Perks offered now and then on the promotion card
• Records, a day streak, awards and colour themes to unlock as you climb

Controls

• Phone: drag to steer the invite, flick down to drop it, press and hold to make it fall fast, swipe up to park it. No on-screen buttons.
• Keyboard: ← → to move, ↓ to nudge, Space to drop, E for the email, H to park, P to pause.
