game description:

You receive emails in an inbox. You are presented with a set of options for each email. Some options result in further emails being sent by your contacts. You choose options attempting to reach inbox zero.

progression ideas:

  • Emails and contacts get stickier and stickier as levels progress.
  • The metagame evolves from choosing correct responses to more advanced "knowledge management" work tasks, like determining the actual action items and next actions.
