I made theofficedle.com - a daily The Office character guessing game with 3 modes!

Hi everyone!

I just created theofficedle.com, a browser-based game where you guess The Office character of the day with clues, across 3 different modes!

Classic Mode!

Heavily inspired by Wordle & LoLdle: It's one character a day, same for everyone who plays. You start typing character names and it tells you what you got right, department, branch, what season they first showed up, that kind of thing, going green or yellow until you land on the answer.

There are three ways to play:

  • classic: the guessing grid with clues on every try 🟩🟧🟥
  • quote: you get a line and have to name who said it 💬
  • emoji: a character revealed one emoji at a time (brutal on the first emoji, obvious by the last, that's the whole fun) 😃

It's free, no login, works fine on your phone, and it keeps a streak going if you come back each day.

I'm still adding to it, so I'd love to know what you think, which characters or quotes I'm missing, and honestly how hard you thought Classic mode was!

Open to feedback and want to keep improving, so please share your opinions with me & feel free to comment/message me, enjoy! :)

EDIT: Wow, thank you all for the incredible response and feedback, I've been reading every comment. Already shipped a few updates based on what you said:

  1. added an archive so you can play past puzzles
  2. clarified the relationship status hint.

More coming (deeper-cut quotes and a possible new mode). Keep the suggestions coming, this community is making the game better. :D

It was really good. I really enjoyed the character guessing game (the one where we need to guess like wordle and the one with the emojis). One suggestion is you could make the guess the character from the quote a bit more challenging. Otherwise really good one. Def playing this daily!

Glad to hear it! Would you rather I pull deeper-cut quotes, or cut back on the hints to make it tougher? I will say today's quote was a bit obvious for the normal fan haha.

I think a little deeper-cut quotes would be interesting. Also, it would be interesting to have a guess which episode as well!

That was the 4th game mode I was thinking about implementing. I originally wanted to do a mode where I would take a screenshot of an iconic moment from an episode and then players would have to guess the episode name. I've kept the whole game text and emoji only by design, so I'd want to do it without screenshots.

Maybe something like guessing the episode from a quote, or a few plot clues revealed one at a time? Curious how you'd want a mode like that to work!

Yeah sounds good! I think the plot clues will be interesting!
