About Pocket Boss
Who says that work and play don’t mix? Not us! Play Pocket Boss, the game where you handle lots of fun data and one not-so-fun boss.
A delightfully odd fusion of work and play
In Pocket Boss, you’re a remote employee working with business data to make your boss happy. And the boss needs so much done! Increase productivity, boost customer satisfaction, make losses disappear, erase competitors — all with just a swipe of your finger. As you solve ever-funkier data puzzles, your boss watches your progress closely, wondering if you’ve got what it takes to earn that promotion. Well, have you?Features
- Fix puzzling charts and bend the trends. Make your company’s productivity, shareholder value, and customer trust shine — at least on paper.
- Pie charts, bar charts, scatter plots: drag, pinch, pull and push all kinds of charts to make them behave while your boss pushes for results.
- Chat with your boss. Yes, it can be awkward, and that’s funny – but what if it affects your promotion?
- Solve the mysteries of equal pay.

Fun, short, quirky game. Only takes about 35-40 minutes to finish, and it's fun for what it is. Would have liked something a little more from it though. Once you finish it there's really nothing else to it.
smart, fun little experience!
Fairly interesting experience, one I enjoyed
This game is dumb and I mean that as a compliment. Delightful. Delightfully dumb.
