Traps

The Office doesn't just have active hazards; there are a handful of nasty surprises that are just waiting for someone to trip over them. When broken, they drop red or orange orbs, depending on if they're weapon or spatial traps.

Blast Roast
Blast Roasts look like normal take-out coffee cups, and are first seen in the break room area of the Office in chapter four.

When they're tipped over, they explode and splatter extremely hot liquid around the area, as well as releasing a damaging shockwave.

Flashbulb
Flashbulbs look like small clip-on desk lamps. They're first discovered by Anesh in chapter nineteen, and he reports them to James using their handheld radios.

When a delver gets too close to them, they swivel towards the target and glow brighten, until the bulb explodes in an extremely strong flash of light and a spray of molten glass.

Pencil Gauntlet
Pencil Gauntlets consist of a trigger and launcher. The trigger, so far, has always been the seam between two different sections of carpet. The launch angle/position is varied, however. The trigger makes a high-pitched hum before and after being set off. James, Anesh, and Alanna find the first Pencil Gauntlet in chapter thirty-three, before they discover the Decision Tree.

Pencil Gauntlets are traps that launch consecutive volleys of high-speed and extremely sharp pencils when triggered.

Mobius Hallway
The Mobius Hallway looks like an uncountable number of identical normal hallways; no matter which direction is turned at either end, the occupant will find themselves in a new hall, identical to the last one. Anesh and James find themselves trapped in it during chapter twenty. After breaking through the walls to escape, they discover a large orange orb hovering between two metal pyramids; after removing the orb, the Mobius Hallway vanishes.

The hallway in itself isn't dangerous; however, James and Anesh were unable to leave until they removed the orange orb, and they were swarmed by Shellaxie 2.0's from the nearby cubicles.
