Over the course of a week, teams of four coworkers spend their lunch hours, their weekends, and the occasional breaks between meetings to uncover clues for the "MacGuffin," an object hidden somewhere in the city. A different clue is sent each morning to each team.

A player from one team can "kill" a player from another team by tricking them into saying a "kill word." The killed player would then have to hand over their clue, giving the other team an advantage in finding the Macguffin.

There can be lots of inter-office high jinks trying to get coworkers to say a kill word or write it in an email. What would be a typical week at the office turns into a suspenseful team-building game.
