What Game Hosts Do

Every Game Needs a Great Host

Guest Experience

Greet guests, give briefings, answer questions, take photos, and help create a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

Game Monitoring

Watch game progress, send hints when needed, track room flow, and help teams have a smooth experience.

Room Resets

Reset rooms accurately, check props and locks, clean between groups, and help keep the location guest-ready.

A Note About Scheduling

Flexible, But Not Guaranteed

Escape room staffing is based on reservations, and many games book the same day. We schedule based on expected demand, but shifts can be pushed back, adjusted, or cut if games do not book. Because of this, the role is a great fit for someone who wants flexible part-time work around school, another job, or other commitments.
