LONG DESCRIPTION

It’s December 1996. Finnish furniture giant HØLM has opened its first superstore in Norway, and you’ve been hired for the night shift. Your job is simple: get the showroom displays ready for opening.

You have three responsibilities: build flatpack furniture, furnish the display, and STAY ALIVE.

There’s nothing more relaxing than building flatpack furniture, so we know you’re going to enjoy your time at HØLM. All our furniture is modular, much like the store itself, so each shift is never quite the same. And don’t worry, all our furniture has manuals!

All the wood used in our store, from the building to the furniture, comes straight from Finnish old growth forests. It may not be sustainable, but it sure gives a great finish!

As well as furniture, you might need to add some extra items to each display. Televisions from our Electronic Department, armchairs from Soft Furnishing, shelves from Storage. Use your creative flair and make every display a work of art!

Due to unusually high staff turnover on our night shifts, a small number of workplace concerns have recently come to our attention. We’re sure these are just the delusions of sleep-deprived, disgruntled employees.

Your shift is complete when all your work is done, so the sooner you complete your tasks, the sooner you can leave!
