Suspects

Main article: List of The Office (U.S. TV series) characters

The six suspects from the original crime have been changed to the names of the characters in the U.S. television series The Office. Each character has a special ability or "power" which can be used once during a game.

• Miss Scarlett is Pam Beesly, friendly, charming, sometimes sneaky.
• Colonel Mustard becomes Dwight Schrute, know-it-all fascist nerd, craves authority.
• Mrs White becomes Andy Bernard, overconfident suck-up with anger management problems .
• Reverend Green becomes Jim Halpert, rarely motivated, likable, prankster.
• Mrs Peacock becomes Angela Martin, cold, judgmental tightly-wound .
• Professor Plum becomes Stanly Hudson, intelligent, experienced, disgruntled.

Rooms

The rooms had been changed into the rooms in the office. In addition to these changes, the center room, Sales Department (the "cellar" in the original game), is now a playable, accessible room in the game, to be entered by the player prior to making the final accusation. The starting spaces for Scarlet and Mustard have also moved clockwise by three positions. Secret passages still connect the rooms of opposite corners of the gameboard.

Rules

While the game generally follows the classic rules, there are several new additions to the game. A new deck of cards has been added to the game: the Intrigue cards. This deck consists of two types of card: Keepers and Clocks. Keepers give the drawer special abilities, such as the ability to look at another player's cards, however, these cards do not override the original rules. Of the eight Clocks, the first seven that are drawn do nothing. The player who draws the eighth Clock is out of the game. The player must move to the sales department in the center of the board to make an accusation. This adds some challenge versus the ability to make accusations from anywhere in the original game.
