REF: RTTO/001/A  ·  FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY

MEMORANDUM

TO:
All former colleagues
FROM:
The Management
RE:
Your return
DATE:
To be confirmed

For a while, the office was where everything happened.

Deals were made. Careers were ended. Drinks were poured. Photocopies were taken. Someone knew where the key was. Someone always stayed too late.

Then we left.

Return to the Office is creating a new kind of social experience — somewhere between an office party, an escape room and a memory you’re not entirely sure is yours.

Further instructions will follow.
