Glue Factory

⚠ CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PROMOTION.
You are the new Site Director at Holdfast Adhesives Co. — Bonding Since 1987.
Your predecessor, Bryce, made it to Day 7.

Glue Factory is a Reigns-style swipe card management game (meant for mobile devices) set on the floor of a chemical adhesive plant. Every day, someone walks into your office with a problem, a shortcut, or an idea that is technically a federal violation.

You have two choices. Neither is great.

⚙ MEET YOUR TEAM

PAT — Safety Officer. Means well. Recently used a corrosive drum to clean the break room microwave. Thought it was a new cleaning product.

ALLEN — Production. Enthusiastic. Hasn't slept in 32 hours. Has several of Bryce's ideas he'd like to revisit.

BRIAN — Quality Manager. Perfectionists don't ship product. Brian does not care.

BRAYDON — Continuous Improvement. Found a resin supplier operating from a cargo ship. Significant cost savings. No SDS documents provided.

DEVIN — Maintenance. Has been right about everything since 2007. Nobody listens to him. His work orders are immaculate.

JIM — Engineering. Communicates exclusively through puns. The puns are load-bearing.

MONIQUE — HR. Completed everyone's annual HazComm training digitally. Nobody attended. Everyone is technically compliant.

📋 HOW IT WORKS

Each day, a card appears. Someone wants something. You pick ← LEFT or RIGHT →. Your four meters shift:

🟢 Safety  |  🔵 Quality  |  🟡 Production  |  🟠 Budget

Any meter hits zero — you're fired.
Any meter maxes out while Safety is low — Corporate notices.

Every 7-10 days: ⚠ CORPORATE AUDIT.
A GHS pictogram appears on screen. Four answers. One is correct. Wrong answers hurt Safety and shut down production lines. Getting them right is the whole point.

☠ GHS PICTOGRAMS YOU WILL ENCOUNTER

☠ Skull & Crossbones — Acute Toxicity
🔥 Flame — Flammable
🧪 Corrosion — Destroys skin and metal on contact
⚠ Health Hazard — Carcinogens, long-term harm
❗ Exclamation Mark — Irritants, moderate toxicity
...and more

🏭 WHAT IT'S ACTUALLY FOR

The scenarios are exaggerated and ridiculous on purpose. The point is to feel the real tension between keeping workers safe and keeping the lights on — and to recognize GHS pictograms under pressure before an actual audit.

It's not meant to be realistic. It's meant to be memorable.

✅ You will have to make bad decisions sometimes. That's the game.
✅ Surviving past Day 30 means the difficulty scales up.
✅ Bryce never made it past Day 7. You can do better. Probably.

A HazComm / GHS training game built for safety training and culture programs. Scenarios are fictional. Pat is not based on anyone real. We think.

Can you keep it together?
