In the game, players take control of Dilbert's dysfunctional office environment as the "pointy-haired Boss", and must race against the clock to shred a specified number of projects as they are completed. Players can also apply "stimulating management tools", such as shocks from a cattle prod. In addition to the Boss, other Dilbert characters make appearances in the game including Dogbert, Dilbert, Wally, Alice, Asok, Ted and Tina.

In celebration of the release of Dilbert Cubicle Chaos on wireless phones, Namco is to host a sweepstakes from March 24 through May 23 through AT&T. Players can enter for a chance to win one of 25 signed copies of the "Dilbert's Guide to the Rest of Your Life" hardcover collection and a collection of official Dilbert desk toys. AT&T customers can automatically enter by downloading the Dilbert Cubicle Chaos mobile game.

"Everyone in the corporate world can relate to some part of the Dilbert comic strip, making the storyline, characters and office satire ideal for a mobile game targeting mass-market consumers," said Scott Rubin, vice president of sales and marketing, Namco Networks. "Adding elements to the game that are specific to the mobile platform, such as downloadable comics made possible by network connectivity, only increase the longevity of the game and allow players, Dilbert fans and general consumers alike, to have the best possible mobile gaming experience."
