Another Day at the Office creates an experience for the participant possibly reminiscent of being trapped inside a cuckoo clock. Closing the door behind them after entry, they sit at a rotating desk.
The external viewer sees a series of toy-theater like scenes depicting varying degrees of violence and mayhem, whilst the rider inside, denied the "real" views of the stage, sees the shadow theater projected screen views. As they rotate, to the accompanying racket of clanging alarm bells, the desk stops at each screen. The participant can only progress to the next scene, and eventual release from the construction by pushing the button in front of them, forcing each scene to its violent conclusion.
