THE BUSINESS WORLD - IN YOUR HANDS

Own 53 Monsters

Dan Berg
Dan BergThe Creator

“LinkedIn is not real life. It's a place full of monsters, all claiming special powers and abilities.

A bit like Pokémon.

So I did the only logical thing and spent an ungodly amount of time designing original character cards - inspired by their cringe.

The result is 53 characters featuring misled hustlers, fake mentors and office oddballs. Each one has a Pokémon-style name, a healthy dose of tragedy and absolutely zero social awareness.”

What's in the tin

Questions nobody endorsed

FAQ

What do I actually do with them?

Cringémon exists for the joy of collecting, comedy, cringing, and owning a tiny act of rebellion against corporate culture. Like sports cards, or any illustration, there is no game - but you can of course:

  • Pin them up like Pokémon cards
  • Gift them to your most cringe colleague
  • Pretend you're not like any of them
  • Support the arts
  • Be smug about supporting the arts
  • Gift them to other LinkedIn-haters
  • Own a piece of cultural history, maybe
  • Display them as a trinket to make yourself more interesting to guests, a tactic I use myself
Is it a real game?

No. It's a set of jokes in a tin. You are welcome to invent rules. Nobody will stop you, and nobody will play.

Is it a good present?

Yes - for anybody who hates LinkedIn.

Where do you ship?

Worldwide. Delivery is free in the UK, and usually arrives in 2-3 working days. Everywhere else is a flat charge - roughly £5 to Europe and £8 to the rest of the world, converted into your own currency and shown in full at checkout before you pay. Allow 7-21 days, depending on where you are and how your customs feel that week.

Are these real people?

No. All 53 are original characters, inspired by LinkedIn cringe and corporate culture. Nobody's real face, name or profile has been used. Any resemblance to someone in your network is their problem.

What if I don't like it?

You have 14 days from delivery to request a return, as long as the tin comes back in the condition it arrived in. See the refund policy, or just email and say so.

Will there be more?

Not of this edition. Once it sells out, that's it.
