If you thought building a fort in your living room was enticing, the English lads below took it a step further by building a giant castle in their office.
The creative team at Viking, a U.K. company that is a subsidiary of Office Depot, was told by their boss to decorate their desk a bit in order to shake off the awfulness that is January. Well, the team did just that and more by building a huge cardboard castle to keep enemies out — enemies like their boss, I assume.
The castle was built smack dab in the middle of the office, and it actually has a working drawbridge. It took nine hours to build, and the team had to use 500 pieces of cardboard and 80 hot glue sticks. Now that’s how to properly use company time.
And if you’re going to have a giant cardboard castle, you might as well go the extra mile and make yourself some cardboard swords and shields.
And if you really want to cement your place in cardboard history, you might as well crown an office king.
Everyone had a good laugh, but that laugh only lasted so long before management had to put their corporate foot down and rob the creative team of their creativeness. Take a look at the letter they sent.
Those wet blankets.
Take a look at the video below to see the caste being built, as well as to see some of the other employees react to the cardboard castle.
