After my last post on synchronized iTunes listening, which can be found in my Office games section, I received an email from another former work buddy, now real buddy asking if I would mind writing about Corporate falling, which is also a fantastic office game to play.

Explaining Corporate falling is rather tricky because it’s more an aesthetics exercise than a competitive game. Corporate falling can claim direct lineage to well known spiritual activities from a variety of different cultures. Most Corporate falling practitioners describe them self as self-aware clumsies with appreciation for failed human ambition. To them the fall symbolizes the individual’s inevitable fall off the corporate ladder.

The rules for Corporate falling is conditioned to the environment the game is played in. As with many office games the goal is not to get caught doing something outrageous. In this game one should unexpectedly fall in a public setting within the office with out drawing the attention from nonparticipating peers, bonus points are awarded if you fall from your office chair. When the game is played outside the office on the other hand it becomes more like a public entertainment service and bonus points are awarded for added attention you otherwise bring to your self and those accompanying you.

Play it safe, play it fair.
