You are far better off spending the money on the DVD of the show and simply re-watching the episodes. The DVD board game is a terrible waste of money.

On the second game after opening it one category (the dwight one)repeated EVERY question. The new game became how many times until a new question and we finally used a different category's question after something like 15 trials. Really disappointing.

For example, one question was "What year did the television show 'The Apprentice' first air?" In my copy of the game, every "stapler" question (1 of 7 categories in the game) was the same, i.e., roughly 15% of the questions were repeats. Also, the "glasses" category (another one of the 7 categories) required the use of objects that were not included in the game, i.e, scissors, tape, paper (things that were are not available in my living room/family room where I would normally play a DVD trivia game) Also, there are video clips from the show that keep being repeated, and after playing this game just one time it became annoying. Sorry to write such a poor review, but I was horribly disappointed with this game.

We can't figure out where to move with the number/color die. We just resort to going to the color station. I know, it's embarrassing to admit. Any help???

It is easily the worst game i've ever played. The clips are the same ones over and over even annoying me towards the end of the game which only took 15 minutes. The trivia was only good when it was The Office trivia and that was only about 20 % of the questions and more than easy for anyone who watches the show. I will never play it again and will probably re-gift it. I got this game for xmas and played last night. It is easily the worst game i’ve ever played.

Anyone know of them both? Amazon sells them both--the Pressman one (ASIN: B001546WRU), that I think was reviewed here, and one from 'NBC Universal East' sold by http://www.lighterside.com/ (ASIN: B001FATPHI). Anyone know which is more fun/better? Thanks, Karen I am looking at The Office DVD game as a gift for someone but it seems there are two versions. Anyone know of them both?

Looks pretty fun. And also confusing, but maybe I just don't play board games very much. Woot, found the trivia board game at my Walgreens and bought it today! Looks pretty fun.

None of my roommates will play it with me because they know I'll win. So I have to wait for a fellow Office-obsessed friend to come visit me next weekend.

The DVD is pretty easy for hard-core Tallyheads...my three-year-old son loves playing it! He dances to the music and it's his favorite thing in the world to play. He calls it "Schrute Bucks" and we even use it as a reward. If he's not behaving, I say "No, stop (fill in blank) or you can't play Schrute Bucks later!" He thinks anything Office-related is Schrute Bucks, actually. He'll point to my Season 4 DVD and say, "Mommy's Schrute Bucks!"

We LOVE it! The best thing is that every card has two levels of questions (Regional Manager and Assistant to the Regional Manager). That way, even people who aren't as obsessive about the Office can feel like they can compete with their friends. We've had a blast playing the whole game through several times.

It wasn't challenging enough, and was rather slow. The DVD took way too long to load between questions and scenes, making it almost boring (gasp!). I know one of the DVD questions was wrong too, so I wrote the NBC about it. I thought it would be more like SceneIt games, but it falls way short of that. (I love the Harry Potter SceneIt - it's fast and furious!) I wish I had gotten the more challenging board game :(. I have to say I didn’t like the DVD game.
