☕ Welcome to the Application Process

Thank you for applying to Perk Up, Grant! We believe the best way to evaluate a potential team member is through a hyper-realistic simulation of what you might encounter on the job.

You’ll be placed in a series of totally normal, definitely not exaggerated real-life workplace scenarios.

Your decisions will reveal your true character. Will you survive? Will you thrive?

☕ Moral Dilemma #1

Coffee Spill

You walk into your first shift and immediately spill an entire barrel of coffee beans. Your manager Grant hasn't seen it yet.

Do you:

🕊️ Honesty Is the Best Policy?

Honesty

You confess, expecting rage. Instead, Grant applauds you for your integrity. In fact, he thinks you're ready to level up for the next challenge: dealing with the angry Italian customer who says the espresso from his home country tastes better than this garbage.

Do you:

🤥 The Blame Game

Lie Scene

You pause. Lying could be risky, especially since Grant already suspects you of being spineless. What do you do?

🧠 Gaslight Brew

Gaslight Chaos

You tell Grant it was all the intern’s fault. But little did you know the intern was eavesdropping on your conversation. The intern pops out to counter-accuse you as the one who really spilled the beans. Thankfully for you, Grant is moral and just. He demands a trial by Tic Tac Toe. The winner is hired and the loser is banished.

🎲 Trial by Tic Tac Toe

You are X. The Intern is O. Tap to make your move!

😢 A Frothy Redemption

Foamy Tears

You break down in tears and confess everything. Grant nods solemnly, then asks if you can foam milk with your tears. Turns out — you can. You lost the job, but at least you still have your integrity.

Status: Emotionally foamy. Not hired.

👻 Haunted Grounds

Haunted Espresso

You reach for the Italian man but your hand passes through him. He is a ghost and is threatening to haunt the espresso machine for eternity. You tell Grant you think something’s up with the machine, leave work early, and ignore Grant’s texts the rest of the month.

Status: Paranormally successful. Not hired.

🛥️ Latte Love

Yacht Romance

You hop onto a luxury yacht named The Bean Princess. On the second night, over truffle risotto and suspicious glances, the Italian man tells you his name is Lorenzo. He leans in and whispers: “I knew I could trust you the moment you pronounced ‘macchiato’ with such reckless confidence.”

You’re not sure what that means, but you’re pretty sure it’s love.

You get married in Tuscany in a vineyard owned by a mysterious woman named “Nonna”.

Status: Lost in love. Not hired.

🏃‍♂️ Flee!

You escape—but at what cost? Probably your job. Grant writes in his notebook that you lied and failed to take accountability when given the chance. You have a lot to think about.

Status: Cowardly escape. Not hired.

🎉 Victory!

You defeated the Intern at Tic Tac Toe. Grant hires you on the spot. Welcome aboard!

😢 Defeat...

The Intern has bested you in Tic Tac Toe. Grant quietly hands you a complimentary biscotti and escorts you out.

🤝 Stalemate

A draw! Grant sighs and says, “A true barista must commit.” You're fired.
