In Search Of An Exit Escape Rooms is hiring*!

We are always on the lookout for new game hosts!

Your job entails:

• Welcoming players as they arrive.
• Explaining the game's rules and story.
• Monitoring players' progress, providing hints as they play.
• Operating the Rube Goldbergesque control room behind the scenes.
• Debriefing with players who lose, celebrating with those who win.
• Taking post-game photos for each team.
• Resetting the game after each session.

When there are no games to run, there's STILL MORE TO DO:

• General upkeep of the games.
• Clean (both behind the scenes and in front of the scenes).
• General improvement of the games.
• Organize, organize, organize.
• Learning how to run our other games.
• Assisting with the build out of new games!
• Playtesting things (of course).
• Running errands (lots of hardware store trips).

First and foremost, this is primarily a customer service gig. At the end of the day this is about making sure the customers that come through are having fun. Which is to say, above all else, we're looking for an enthusiastic and outgoing person with excellent interpersonal skills. Being a detail-oriented quick-learner with the patience of a saint who calls their mother every weekend is all well and good, but being able to make small talk with strangers, is— believe it or not— more important.

This gig is a part-time "on call" situation, so your hours will vary from week to week depending on bookings, but figure about 10-20 hours per week (with 80-90% of those hours on Friday/Saturday/Sunday). Pay is $20/hour in two hour increments, with a four hour minimum per shift. (Each booked timeslot is a one hour game with a half hour before and after for setup.)

Resumés are welcome, but more important than that is a cover letter… or a YouTube video, or a Snapchat (are people still using Snapchat?) (it's TikTok, isn't it?), or something to give us an idea of who you are. Please include a cover letter (resumés are welcome, but not mandatory).

To be clear, applications that only include a resumé will not be considered.

This posting has probably given you an idea of what we're like (extremely silly), so please, express yourself however you see fit.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
