What this is
Corpo Mode is free office games, work clocks and a dictionary of corporate jargon, for people who spend their days in meetings. There’s no sign-up, no ads and no cookies. Nothing you type leaves your screen, and your scores stay in this browser, so the high score is yours to keep quiet about.
Where to start
If you’re due in a meeting that needs you in the room but not in the discussion, open buzzword bingo and drop the room link in the side chat. There’s always a side chat. If the afternoon is dragging and half the office has its coat on already, the countdown to 5pm takes your own finish time. If someone just wrote “let’s circle back”, the corporate jargon dictionary says what it means and who else hates it.
