Hi,I did the following:

Office of the story: What are good games to play in an empty office building at night when people working the day shift have left?
My mom works night shift at this huge 3 story office building for our states main newspaper. After 1 AM, she and her coworker [and the downstairs security guards] are the only people in the entire building. We’ve been trying to figure out good games to play in such an empty building.

[For her job, there is about an hour after 1 where there is nothing to do but wait and things to load, so she and her coworker are just sitting there with nothing to do.]

The only game we can think of is Sardines [hide and go seek in the dark] but that’s not a lot of fun with only 2 people.

[edit] Things like chess and sudoku, while they are fun games, aren’t what I’m trying to figure out. We’re trying really hard to take advantage of the fact that we have an entire 3 floor empty building to play with!
OK. I keep getting answers with board games and exercise. I guess I should clarify.

They want something FUNNN to do. They have an ENTIRE 3 story building to themselves.

They have computers and TVs allll over, but they want to play some cool, fun game all through out the building.

The answer in the following: (Hint: The reader is not the correct identification.)

on the night shift we would bring in our computers and watch movies or chat on line all night, play games on our computers. It makes the night go alot quicker.

chess is a good idea, but i don’t know how to play. i might consider yoga or some form of exercise/walking-an hour is a good amount of time to warm up, peak and then cool down. would help keep them sharp for the rest of the night, plus promote a restful sleep when they get home. when i worked nights i got very little exercise…
re: not enough fun at “one of our states main newspapers” while they are getting paid to work===well, it is work–how much fun do you expect? anything more extreme might cause them to lose their jops-esp if the higher ups get a handle on what’s happening…most employers don’t really want you to have fun while they are paying you to work for them. are you waiting for someone to suggest something really outrageous? your mother and co-worker plus guard will have to use their imaginations…
