Past Experience

- Experience in public speaking will be a standout skill along with genuine enthusiasm, warmth/friendliness and confidence
- Solid communication skills: speaking clearly, loudly and with energy in order to interact and engage diverse audiences of all ages

a positive attitude and the ability to follow instructions and integrate constructive criticism are necessary traits for the success of this position

This opportunity is perfect for individuals who enjoy social interaction, love facilitating experiences for others and want to bring IRL fun to their community! It's a once a week commitment, with the potential to fill in at other venues on an as needed basis. This role is ideal for someone looking to supplement their income with a unique, fun and fulfilling casual opportunity. You must be consistently available for at least ONE day of the week on an ongoing basis as the game rarely pauses (but can, which means weekly hours are not guaranteed). The ability to commit and consistently show up week after week is of utmost importance for the overall success of the game.

Bonus points if you're able to be flexible in covering other days of the week at different venues on a fill-in basis (eg. other hosts on vacation, hosts calling in sick etc.)

If this all sounds like a match for your unique skillset, then please consider applying today!
