What is Boil the Ocean?

Boil the Ocean is floor 6 of 12, and its phrase is "This quarter, we're going to boil the ocean." It opens when you win The Wild West with that department. Its enemies are 50 percent stronger than the first floor's. Its final boss is Boil the Ocean, at 16:00.

Good morning, team!! Exciting news!! This quarter, we're going to boil the ocean!!

Which bosses are on the calendar?

Four calendar bosses book this floor: Discovery Phase, Change Management, The Pilot, The Reorg. They arrive at 3:45, 7:30, 11:15, 15:00 in that order. Boil the Ocean closes the quarter at 16:00, and beating it wins the floor. A calendar boss still standing at the next booking leaves without paying out.

What is the hazard, and is there a secret?

The hazard: Pods re-plan weekly: four patches of the floor slow you down, and they move every week. It runs for the whole quarter, so plan your route around it. This floor also hides one secret, which appears on the floor during Monday Morning.

Hint: The real reason for all this is written down and hidden under something grand. It stops the advisers from combining.
