We Arrived At Work On Monday And Found Our Office Transformed Into A Winter Wonderland (12 Pics)

Nobody enjoys a cold and dark commute to the office in the middle of winter, especially on a dreaded Monday morning. So, you can imagine the excitement of our workforce when we arrived at work to find that a group of our colleagues had built a giant Winter Wonderland maze using 1,152 cardboard boxes. Because that’s exactly what happened!

A group of employees decided our offices at Viking needed a facelift to give us all a festive feeling, so they got together and planned the craziest possible office stunt they could imagine. As we all arrived at work at 9 am on Monday, everyone was left feeling seriously stunned… and very lost!

Turning the office into a giant maze has to be one of the wildest dreams for any workforce… but our team made it a reality

Working with our talented in-house designer, they put together a floorplan that covered the 247 square meter office floor of our building at Viking

The maze was made from 1,152 cardboard boxes and was designed with several ‘Winter Wonderland’ themed areas based around the desks

The areas included an enchanted forest, an elf workshop, Bavarian log cabins, festive fireplaces and… a meeting room ball pit!

The team involved spent hours during lunch breaks and after work building everything from cardboard trees to mountain ranges to help decorate the maze and make it truly festive

The ball pit meeting room contained 31,000 white and silver balls, creating the illusion of a snowdrift and making for some seriously fun meeting

This is neat but it's not very good for the environment...

I was thinking the same. What happens to all the stuff afterwards? If it gets re-used it's probably okay. Consumption of single use plastics and even compostables like paper and cardboard is really not cool. Recycling is not really the answer either although we should still recycle, but avoiding unnecessary consumption is obviously best. So yes. Would be nice to know how they dealt with the waste?

I want a snow covered "cabin" for my desk! I'd keep that up all year round! Although, I hope that there is a good map for that maze. Can you just imagine having to pee and not being able to find your way out to get to the restrooms? *eep*

We can all use a bit of magic in our life - specially at work - to remind us how to be kids at heart

This was just a reprieve from a cubicle farm or open floor plan office.

Reminds me of the time the guys in my office shrank wrapped my bosses desk for his birthday. Desk, chair, phone, keyboard, mouse, each pencil individually, his stapler...should I go on?
