It’s been seven years since sitcom The Office went off air but remains a on streaming platforms. But what would it be like if the sitcom was a real life office on Slack? One group has attempted to find out.

Creative collective MSCHF has recreated all nine seasons of the popular sitcom on Slack, with separate channels for each department like accounting, warehouse, and a general office room.

The channels will have the iconic characters engaging in the same conversations they did in the series, except on a chat. Viewers can watch the live session, but won’t be encouraged to post on the channels to allow the recreation to continue smoothly. According to The Verge, the MSCHF team has appointed moderators to remove inappropriate messages and pop-ups.

As a preview, they recreated the episode titled “The Injury” the 12th episode from the second season where Michael Scott (Steve Carell) calls the office after burning his foot in a grill.
