Game Master - Escape Live Coventry

Job description

Games Master

Applicants must be able to start work immediately.

What is a Games Master?

• Guests visit us to get locked in a themed room full of puzzles, riddles, secrets, and technology. It might be a prison cell, a doomsday bunker or even a casino. They get 60 minutes to try to escape.

• The Games Master is there to help them along their journey.

What would I do as a Games Master?

• You help to set up the venue, and set up your escape room.

• You greet your guests, and brief them on the experience they are about to have, preparing them for the game while getting them hyped up.

• You lock them away, then you carefully monitor their progress and offer help where appropriate.

• They may succeed, they may not. (We hope they do!) Regardless, you debrief them, snap a photo for their socials, and ensure that they have had a fantastic time with us.

• Beyond this, you'll clean, do admin, fix things, and help us maintain our #1 service.

Where would I work?

• We are based in Fargo Village, very close to Coventry City Centre (15 mins) and Coventry Station (20 mins)

What makes an ideal candidate?

• A people person- We are looking for someone who can keep large groups engaged and entertained. You must be comfortable speaking to a variety of people. You are a part of their escape experience, and should strive to ensure they have a great time.

• Flexible - Our operational hours are 09:00 - 23:00 Monday to Sunday

• Collaborative - Our team of Games Masters is a diverse family of characters. We want team players who know how to 'muck in' and want the best for their colleagues.

• Attentive - Games must be watched and listened to with keen focus. And you will need to be precise when resetting the escape rooms. If you're someone who spots when a picture is hung at an odd angle, or when something needs a good dusting, you may have the right eye for the job.

What experience do I need to get the job?

• Prior experience as a Games Master would be excellent, but not strictly necessary

• Transferable skills could be found in actors, bartenders, sound operators, TV runners, engineering students, administrative assistants, and all sorts.
