"Congrats on starting your brand new small business (Guac-A-Mole, LLC) making small-batch homemade guacamole to order!
You did not imagine your guac would touch the lives of so many people, but it has, and they demand more each day!
In order to maximize your time and output, you now buy and bring ingredients to your day job, stash them under your desk, and make guac in your down time.
How far can you make it?"
– game tutorial page
GUAC-A-MOLE is an ALT.CTRL (alternative controller) arcade game and custom cabinet designed around the concept and actions of using your surrounding items at your office day job to your advantage to fulfill your personal side quests of owning and running your own small business.
Players use the office paper cutter to chop ingredients, tilt the tape dispenser to toss aside any office supplies, and use the directional keypad to do thier job – they are on the clock after all! It's GAME OVER if they get three warnings for not doing their job or if they run out of money to sustain their guac business.
