The Office Games are coming to Scranton on July 19 to announce the release of The Office DVD Board Game and The Office Trivia Game.

The event will be hosted by Mindy Kaling (The Office’s Kelly Kapoor) and begins at 9 a.m. with a 2K Fun Run on Wyoming Avenue. Prizes will be awarded for Best Dressed, Best Character Look-Alike and Fastest. Following the Fun Run will be an Office Trivia Challenge at 10:30 a.m. and a Beet Eating Contest at noon. The first 125 customers to purchase either game at Boscov’s will receive tickets to meet Kaling and get her autograph from 1:30-2:30 p.m.

I’m not a regular TV watcher, and I’ve seen more of the UK episodes than American, despite living in the setting. Remind me to put up a wiki page with local office links…

People can get pretty crazy about a TV series — there’s always a lot of local buzz, and people came from all over (as far as New Zealand?) for the “Office Convention” last fall.
