Prank week at bwin Games

It has been a long summer and people are starting to come back from their vacations. It has become a tradition to prank our colleague's work place while they're away. Last summer I came back to this. We had to top that, so I and Carl decided to prank our friend Hasse. After going through different suggestions we decided on a treasure hunt. So we photographed all of Hasse's office equipment, pc, screens, keyboard and such. Then we recorded a video. After that we started hiding all the stuff. It went like this:

Hasse found a note on his desk with the link to the video. In the video Carl informs him of the rules and where to find the first clue, a map. The map led Hasse to the 9th floor where he found one of his screens and a picture of a desert, a rose and a grid. The clue led him to a conference room called Desert Rose. In the ceiling we had hidden his mouse and a new clue, the combination to one of the safes. In the safe he found his slippers and a clue to call his office phone. By ringing his own phone he found that and a telephone number. When calling the number he was ordered to go to the rehearsal studio. There he found his earphones and a Spotify list. From every song he had to take a word and then make it into Internal IT. There he found his second screen and a clue that said he should look under every waste bin. After doing so he ended up with three pieces of paper with a code that he had to break. That lead him to a colleague who gave him a new clue which was "Christmas gift". He then found the Christmas tree (yes, we have one during the summer as well) and a package with his second pair of slippers and a new lead to go down to Seven Eleven and sing a song. At Seven Eleven he was rewarded with his joystick and a clue to a test environment. By logging in on one of the nodes he found a file and was lead to the library. In the library he found his keyboard and a lead to the reception. In the reception he got his dock back and a locator device. By starting the locator he then found his computer




It took him about one work day. We did of course film everything and can present you with the director's cut in a couple of weeks.

Until then you can enjoy another prank that was pulled off in the office last week.
