Is the printer at work wonky? Then head over to Dunder Mifflin, where the situation can’t be any better—but, hey, at least you’ll have fun. Lucky superfans of The Office can soon pull an all-nighter at a replica of the people person’s paper people company in Washington, DC, where they’ll be reacquainted with some of the show’s most memorable moments.
The Office Experience is a two-story setup, and includes a warehouse (stocked with merchandise) and recreations of the NBC set. Here, you can take over Michael Scott as the “World’s Best Boss” at his desk, relive Kevin Malone’s chili debacle, and even attempt crossword puzzles Stanley Hudson would have completed during meetings that could have been emails.
Somehow, Schrute Farms has moved into the premises, giving guests the chance to pick beets in the city—sans the piles and piles of manure. The bespectacled property owner figured out that squeezing both his workplaces together is much more economical, it seems.
Not to mention, the building is where the Michael Scott Paper Company was born and, well, killed shortly after.
Besides getting a private tour, which lets them get up close with real costumes from the sitcom, fans will also be taken on a scavenger hunt, where they’ll emerge with their very own Dundie if they complete the challenge in time.
It goes without saying that free Wi-Fi will be provided, so you can log onto the internet for reasons other than working overtime.
While it’s unclear if the experience falls on Pretzel Day, you’ll be treated to a midnight snack of soft pretzels, nonetheless.
The paper company turned all-nighter accommodates two—you and the assistant to your regional manager, perhaps—and will be available only on Saturday, November 19, and Sunday, November 20.
Could this be the best thing ever since that notorious Golden Ticket idea? A night at The Office Experience will set guests back only US$20.05—a nod to the year The Office US premiered. Bookings will open on Booking.com on November 16 at noon ET, and the battle to get a slot will likely be as competitive as the corporate rat race.
To quote Michael: “Early worm gets the worm!”
