The Boardroom Reorg is the exclusive Corporate Nightmare mechanic. Six named executives must be assigned to four floors. The constraints include fixed positions, relative positions, shared floors, and a separation rule between legal and the scapegoat. They are all visible and all simultaneously true.
The puzzle is a small constraint-satisfaction problem with a deliberately absurd fiction. It is not a copy of the free game’s salary or résumé puzzles: the player is arranging an organization chart rather than filling a form or selecting from a list. The expansion sequence always includes this encounter.
Corporate Nightmare is an optional one-time expansion. It is not required to play the free campaign, the base jobs, or the daily challenge.
What it tests
- Constraint satisfaction across multiple interacting rules
- Tracking a small set of entities and positions
- Recognizing that a rule can be satisfied in more than one order
Where to play it
This mechanic appears in Corporate Nightmare expansion runs. The free campaign and daily challenge remain playable without it.
