Chronicles: A Day in the Job, Played Out
A set of nine browser games that simulate a working day across engineering, product, security, design, data, writing, and agency roles.
Field notes
Chronicles organizes nine simulated workdays across two settings: the Meridian product company and an agency. Each run compresses a nine-to-five day into roughly half an hour, asking players to take a brief, talk with people holding different pieces of the problem, and make consequential calls. The tracks are built around concrete workplace pressures, including sixty-one per cent flow abandonment in UX and a security token generating forty thousand requests. The homepage states that a run ends with a certificate, portfolio, and lessons.
