We visited Dunder Mifflin from The Office (in virtual reality)

If you are a fan of the series The officea new world of Meta Horizon The Meta Quest headset is worth the detour. Here's what you can do about it.

1 – Rising to the ranks of Dunder Mifflin

in Office worlda world created by NBC Universal for Meta HorizonOn the Meta Quest VR headset, you'll play as a temporary worker hired at the famous Scranton paper company.

During the activities, you collect funds (from Shrut PakObviously), personalize your desktop (for example, you choose a wallpaper in honor of… schrute farms, (And I bought a lamp that Pam liked) and moved up the ranks from temp to — if I persevered — Assistant Regional Manager (or Assistant Regional Manager, it depends).

2 – Getting to know other players (for better and for worse)

Unfortunately, while you can sit in the office of Jim's, Dwight's, Pam's, or even Michael's, none of the permanent display employees are present during your visits to Dunder Mifflin. You'll even meet other employees like you, because it's an online experience.

If you're lucky, you'll meet amazing people. If you're like me, you're probably surrounded by teenagers with a questionable sense of humor.

3 – Sacred when you have to go to the annex

The entire main floor of Dunder Mifflin is accessible in-game, except for the WUPHF offices (which can also be described as Ryan's closet) and the bathrooms (courtesy of Kevin, according to a post we can read on the door).

Let us note in passing that Michael Scott was right: the annex, where second-class employees are generally relegated, seems very far away when you have to go there.

4- Search for Easter eggs

You may have already understood this, Office world It is primarily a game designed to please fans of the series, and to keep the flame burning while waiting for the release of the sequel, which was scheduled to begin production this summer.

So the office is full of little references to The officeLike a magnet Vance Refrigeration On the refrigerator or a letter from future Dwight to Dwight.

5- Catching bats while Dwight screams Bats!

^{(Note: The game audio failed, so we added the series song)}

Main activities in Office world They are actually sixteen mini-games, accessible on Michael's computer. When a player starts a game, everyone must participate.

Most of these games reference events from the series, such as catching bats that have settled in the office, carrying Kevin's chili peppers, or blowing out Jan's candles with water pistols.

Overall, the games are quite successful (for the world of Meta Horizon, we agree with that), but the enjoyment we find varies greatly depending on the other players with us.

Office world It can be accessed for free at Meta Horizonusing a Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, or Meta Quest 3S headset.
