14 DAY TRIAL // Namco Networks just announced the availability of its much anticipated mobile game, Dilbert Cubicle Chaos. Another original game through its partnership with United Media, a leading independent licensing and syndication company that licenses Dilbert, Namco Networks continues to bring popular brands to consumers for the mobile platform. Dilbert Cubicle Chaos contains rich features such as downloadable Dilbert comic strips and bonus game levels.
In the game, players take charge of Dilbert's dysfunctional office environment as the pointy-haired Boss, showing off a propensity to (mis)manage resources and creating the illusion of productivity by delegating busy work to employees. As the Boss, players must race against the clock to shred a specified number of projects as they are completed to keep their staff humble.
Players can also enjoy applying stimulating management tools, such as 'friendly' shocks from a cattle prod to 'inspire' and 'motivate' employees. In addition to the Boss, other favorite Dilbert characters make appearances in the game including Dogbert, the business consultant and mastermind behind the dysfunction, along with Dilbert, Wally, Alice, Asok, Ted and Tina.
The game begins in story mode where the player controls the pointy-haired Boss as he attempts to win the Manager of the Month award. The player must work his way around the office handing out projects to employees to meet the daily quota. Once the quota is reached the player can then advance to the next day (or level). After completing six days, the Boss Zone becomes available as an unlockable feature.
The Boss Zone adds a new height of difficulty to the game, escalating insufficient management to make projects and other game play randomly. In addition to unlockable and redeemable features, Dilbert Cubicle Chaos includes the bonus level, Whack-a-Wally, allowing the player to score additional points by hitting Wally as he pops up randomly among the cubicles.
In celebration of the nationwide premiere of Dilbert Cubicle Chaos on wireless phones, Namco will be hosting a sweepstakes from March 24 through May 23 through AT&T. Fans of Dilbert and other Namco mobile games can enter for a chance to win one of 25 signed copies of the "Dilbert's Guide to the Rest of Your Life" hardcover collection and a collection of official Dilbert desk toys.
AT&T customers can automatically enter by downloading the Dilbert Cubicle Chaos mobile game. AT&T customers can also download the game by texting DILBERT to 386 (FUN).
Dilbert Cubicle Chaos is available starting this week on US national carriers.
