About Running Late

Running Late drops you at your desk after another tardy arrival, and your boss wants an explanation—now. You piece together excuses by playing cards from your hand, each depicting absurd delays like traffic jams caused by escaped circus animals, unexpected pigeon summits or malfunctioning weather balloons. The catch is internal consistency: if you claim you drove your car and later blame a subway delay, the boss catches your contradiction and slams down the red WIDERSPRUCH stamp, damaging your credibility. Survive three full days of interrogation by weaving plausible (or at least non-contradictory) chains of three cards each, then answering follow-up questions without tripping over your own lies. PokiGame Arcade hosts this quick puzzle-bluffing hybrid where memory and creative thinking keep you employed—barely.
