A Field Office is a special variety of a Cog Building that incorporates minigames and a boss battle that offers new challenges for endgame players. Unlike ordinary Cog Buildings, a Field Office can take over the Toon Headquarters in all districts of a specific street, and will require the help of many Toons in order to defeat that Field Office, in which groups of Toons are transported to another annex of the building as soon as the elevator doors reopen.
The first addition of Field Offices is the Sellbot Field Office from Toontown Online but with new changes as stated above.
Gameplay
Battle mechanics
The Sellbot Field Office is so devoid of silliness that certain gags become ineffective and can only be regained if Toons make their way through the minigames with ease. Once Toons enter the building, they start off with either Throw or Squirt and one additional gag track. Due to the lack of gag tracks, Toons are expected to devise new gag strategies, but SOS cards can still be used to assist in battle.
Mover & Shaker maze
Toons need to grab water balloons from water coolers scattered across the maze room to defeat four large Mover & Shakers. In order to regain gags, however, Toons must collect jokes by defeating Cold Callers and Name Droppers with water balloons. Be sure to stay clear of being hit by any of the Cogs and falling filing cabinets to prevent from losing a water balloon.
Ice skating game (Cold Caller offices)
Toons need to skate through the icy offices of the Cold Callers to turn up the thermostats. Cold Callers, however, will fight back by attempting to turn the thermostats back down. Before continuing onto the next floor, Toons must ensure that the thermostats stay on the warmer side.
Boiler room
The boiler room of high pressure sales is where Toons face four Cogs and the boss of the Sellbot Field Office. More Cogs will continue to spawn periodically until the boss is defeated. The boss possesses unique attributes that has never been seen in a Cog before, including the ability to unlure, heal, and promote the Cogs at any given moment. Because of how tedious the battle may be, it is essential that Toons perform well in the minigames so that they can earn all their gag tracks.

Trivia
- Field Offices from Toontown Online were originally referred to in development as "Cog-dominiums".
- Based on several concept artworks and mentions of the game's code, Toontown Online had plans for a Cashbot, Lawbot, and Bossbot Field Office, but only the Sellbot variation was released.
- In the code for Toontown Online, as well as in the phase files, the Lawbot Field Office was almost completely finished. However, it was never released in the game.
- For the Cashbot Field Office, the code mentioned that Toons would have to use cranes to defeat Money Bags carrying coins to prevent them from stealing laff barrels. Furthermore, artwork for what the room could had looked like was shown.[1]
- For the Bossbot Field Office, the code mentioned that Toons would crash a meeting and obtain destruction memos to save laff barrels. Furthermore, a rare screenshot shows a Toon golfing in what could had been an early version of the Bossbot Field Office.[2]
- According to the Chairman's memo, Mover & Shakers would be rewarded their own Field Offices because of their great performance in Doomsday. As this was in 2014, the storyline of Toontown Rewritten may have changed since then.
- Concepts, ideas, and new information revolving around the Sellbot Field Office were revealed during ReplayFX 2018. Attendees could access a developer server to test out gameplay.
- More concepts, ideas, and information were revealed during ReplayFX 2019. Completed assets and a demo of the ice skating game were also shown off.
