About Jenkins Gets a Job

Step into the unpredictable shoes of Mr. Jenkins in "Jenkins Gets a Job," a hilariously offbeat indie strategy game inspired by the beloved Jenkins webcomic! This fresh take on workplace simulation drops you right into a bizarre office building, where survival means more than just dodging your boss — it's a riot of quirky coworkers, oddball tasks, and one collective goal: don’t get fired on your very first day.

In this free HTML5 browser game, players take control of Mr. Jenkins, the ultimate mistake hire, navigating a maze-like office filled with vibrant, individually designed NPCs. Each floor reveals new challenges and characters, some familiar to webcomic fans and some delightfully new. Unlike typical strategy sims, Jenkins Gets a Job leans hard into slapstick charm and ironic humor, making each encounter an unpredictable delight.

Gameplay is streamlined for accessibility but packed with secret opportunities. Use simple arrow controls for movement, while your trusty resume (with a press of C) unlocks unique ways to interact and progress—one step closer to keeping your job, at least for another hour. Time management, quick wit, and sharp observational skills are your greatest assets as you attempt to navigate internal politics and daily chaos. Expect wily HR staff, mischievous teammates, and “surprise” office policies at every turn, all designed in a pixel-perfect, humor-saturated art style reminiscent of classic indie gems.

Estimated play time is short and sweet—30 minutes to an hour—making this perfect for a quick gaming break or marathon replaying to discover alternate dialogue, hidden jokes, and secret office paths. Optimized for mobile and desktop, Jenkins Gets a Job is as smooth on your phone as it is on your browser.

For fans of narrative-rich, comedic games, or anyone craving a lighthearted poke at office life, Jenkins Gets a Job delivers pure joy with each click and keystroke. Start your day right—help Jenkins survive workplace madness and cement your name as the least likely new hire to beat the odds!

How to Play

Getting started with Jenkins Gets a Job is a breeze and utterly fun! As soon as you load the game in your browser (no installs needed), you're dropped right into the zany world of Mr. Jenkins' new workplace. The controls are simple and intuitive: use the arrow keys to move Jenkins throughout the maze-like office—every hallway, break room, and cubicle offers its own surprises.

Interact with objects and characters by pressing Z (accept/confirm). If you find yourself in a conversation or menu you want to exit, just hit X (back/cancel). When you need to review your progress or your quirky set of credentials, press C to open your resume—this often unlocks special interactions or dialogue choices, so don’t forget about it!

Your core objective is to complete your workday tasks without drawing too much attention to your rookie mistakes (or your questionable hiring). Explore every corner—interact with familiar characters from the Jenkins webcomic, seek out side conversations, and piece together clues about the office's unusual culture. Keep an eye out for secret paths and Easter eggs, as decisions in one place can affect outcomes elsewhere.

Tips for beginners: Take your time reading dialogues, as the game rewards patience and wit with extra storylines and quirks. Since playtime is under an hour, experiment on your first run and replay for more laughs and hidden endings. Click, crawl, and converse your way to staying employed—a feat in Jenkins' surreal world!
