It is time to use reality TV as a force for good, rather than evil. Here are some adaptions of common reality TV formats, adjusted to be enjoyed during the working day.

1. The previously mentioned Office Survivor and Office Survivor: Home Edition.

2. Changing Offices: get a work colleague to go to a meeting for an hour or two. It helps if they have an office or cubicle. While they are gone, freshen up their workspace. Paint the walls, re-arrange the furniture. Shabby chic is very in. Watch their delighted reaction when they return.

3. Office Blitz: get a work colleague to go to a meeting for an hour or two. It helps if they have an office or cubicle. While they are gone, get a team of experts in to give it the make-over it needs to turn it from a weed infested toxic waste dump into a pristine garden. Watch their delighted reaction when they return.

4. Desert Island Office: two variations of this one. Firstly make a list of 6 co-workers you wouldn't mind be stuck with on a 2 week residential live-in conference (must have equal male/female representation). Secondly, nominate 6 co-workers for the other players. You cannot use the same person twice, and you take turns nominating.

5. Office worker Firing Pool: at the start of the year write down a list of 10 people. You get points if any of those people leave the firm during that year. You get points in the following system: you get the number of years they have worked with the firm, plus a 25% bonus if the leaving is voluntary. You get double points if it's you (you may as well make the best of a bad situation).

6. Perfect mismatch: try and find the least compatible couple out of all your colleagues. Start spreading rumours they are an item, all the while measuring the compatability score and responses to various double entendres.

7. Fear factor: gain points by finding the worst boss with the worst reputation and volunteering for a task. Extra points if you finish with either your sanity or dignity.

8. The Apprentice: take the newest hire (or even better the work experience kid) and make them do the most meaningless and degrading tasks, before savaging their efforts and finishing with a "You're fired." Warning: this may not actually be a game.
