With the success the series has seen on both sides of the Atlantic it’s no surprise that The Office is going to be making its way to the gaming world.

MumboJumbo are creating the game based on the American version of the hit British show for the PSP, PC, and Nintendo DS in a deal with Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group.

The game should be out in the Autumn featuring all the favourite members of the American office.

"The cast and creators of 'The Office' have done a fantastic job delivering a show with a personality all its own", said Bill Kispert, vice president and general manager, Interactive, Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group.

"MumboJumbo is an innovator in the casual games space, and developing a game with them that combines the quirky characters and humour of the show with a proven, addictive game mechanic we think will be welcomed by fans and casual game players alike."
