Our office has a couple of extra ‘interns’ this fall, and while they need our attention, so do you! It turns out there is a real need to keep family members, visitors, and distance learners (when they’re on their breaks) busy while you need to make that important phone call or virtual meeting! Everyone get’s distracted at work – we all know this. Now you have a way to keep the ‘distractors’ distracted!
Visual Moxie understands this conundrum which is why we’re curating a growing list of online games that you, or someone you need to keep busy, can fiddle with when you feel you need a recharge!
