Think your job is stressful? Think Bandersnatch was hard?
Well, this Twitter thread might just prove you wrong!
A clever game launched over the weekend lets you hypothetically serve the superstar for a day while trying to not get sacked. That’s right, if you choose the incorrect action, you’re fired.
Here are some questions from the challenge!
The thread was started by @CORNYASSBITCH on Twitter, a 19-year-old named Landon from Los Angeles, who used the Choose Your Own Adventure interface to make an extensive quiz about working with Beyonce for a day!
Billboard reports that the first night’s poll topped off at around 14,000 votes, the second night’s at 134,000, and the third night’s at 366,000.
Do you serve the singer granola and fruit, or eggs and bacon before the red carpet? Which of her children should you FaceTime? What activity should you suggest while she waits for her hair and makeup to be done?
The story branches out fairly excessively, with the overarching goal simply being not to get fired – a task that becomes seemingly impossible as you progress through the thread.
No Room For Error
There is no room for error, because one mistake, like offering her wine before an interview or telling her to get ready in the car or feeding her a vegetarian meal when she is actually in a vegan period could lead to disaster.
Each level increases in difficulty, with players having to make choices that would either grant them a passage to the next round, or a brutal, soul-shattering letter of termination from her team of lawyers.
“I know more than enough about Beyoncé, so I decided, why not make it about working with her?” said the student and freelance graphic designer as quoted by BuzzFeed News.
The game’s mechanic is simple: When presented with a scenario, you choose one of several possible actions presented as linked tweets in the replies. Clicking on an action takes you to a new thread, where you repeat the process. If you’re right, you are presented with a new question and if you’re wrong, well then you’re fired.
Imagine the Anxiety That Comes With This
Even Chrissy Teigen tried the game, but miserably failed.
The game is a reminder of the one universal truth that binds us all: None of us are good enough to work for Beyoncé.
If you make it to the end of the thread, without getting fired then you should definitely add it to your resume!
And if you haven’t tried it yet, then you must! Let us know in the comments if you made it or not!
