Out of Office

Rad Work for Bad Drivers · a free game by The Collected Works

Out of Office is a driving game you play in your browser. You drive The Collected Works box truck around New York, pick up our case studies off the street and deliver them across town before the clock runs out. It's free, there's nothing to install, and you don't need an account.

How to play

Pick up. Drive into a glowing case study on the street. Red ones are close by; green ones go far and pay more.
Deliver. Follow the green arrow and the route on the map, then stop in the green zone to drop it off.
Beat the clock. Every delivery buys you time. Jumps, drifts and near misses on the way earn tips.

Modes and maps

Arcade: deliver as many as you can while the clock lasts.
3 Min: three minutes, as much money as you can make.
Free Ride: no clock. Drive around, hunt for cans and rooftop finds, take photos.

Drive all of New York City, or Tribeca, where our studio is. Pick one of six drivers from the studio, each with their own signature move. Scores go on online leaderboards; sign in with Google if you'd like to keep your progress across devices.
