Quarantine boredom has created a crossover we didn't know we needed.
Mashable reports that fans of The Office are using their free time and inability to sleep to recreate scenes from the workplace comedy on the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. For those who don't know, Animal Crossing is a life simulation game that allows the player to create a home, interact with cute animal villagers, and just enjoy their virtual life. A new version of Animal Crossing was released in March, so a lot of people are playing the game while staying inside.

All nine seasons of The Office are still available to watch on Netflix, and it seems that Twitter user @_baoluu was one of the first to think to combine two. Check out some of the hilarious examples from the fan below.

The Twitter user designed his New Horizons island to look like Dunder Mifflin's Scranton office. He organized your typical office paraphernalia, like vending machines, chairs, tables, and more furniture to recreate the conference room and break room. He then played reenacted scenes from the NBC comedy, with a smaller version of the actual scene from The Office playing in the corner of the screen for reference.
