Playrooms Workforce event and Chapter 2

Check your contribution on the in-game computer

Open workforce.exe to read the current goals and the per-employee cap. The launch announcement says collected balls count toward the global total; the November 9 update says each employee can contribute up to 1,000,000 balls and that the tracker shows five goals. The cap is a limit on your contribution. You do not need to collect a million yourself to make the community’s billion-ball milestone count.

If you want to know…	Where to look

If you are still contributing, choose rooms where you can keep the ball collection loop moving. The equipment guide explains when a skill upgrade or an additional device helps. If an update has left a room apparently stuck just short of complete, use the room recovery checklist.

Do I need to buy Chapter 2 or finish the event myself?

Two Pixels says Chapter 2 will be free to everyone who owns Playrooms. The reward is tied to the global milestone the community already reached. The announcement does not require an individual event target or give any separate purchase instructions.

The developer expects the chapter to pick up where Chapter 1 ends and estimates three to four hours of play. It targets January 2027 if development goes to plan. The November 15 event end is separate from the chapter’s release, and Two Pixels has not announced an exact January date in the cited notice.
