Job description

THE ROLE

Great Big Game Show Hosts are world-class hospitality experts who genuinely love people, thrive in high-energy environments, and take pride in creating unforgettable guest experiences.

As a Host, you’ll lead guests through our live, hour-long game show experiences, where teams compete in 8-10 fast-paced mini-games involving physical challenges, trivia, luck, and skill. You’ll introduce each game, deliver fun commentary, track points, and ultimately crown a winning team, all while making every guest feel seen, celebrated, and included. Check out this video to see what it’s all about!

This is a guest-facing, performance-based role where energy, confidence, and care for others matter. Hosts set the tone for the entire experience, from the first introduction to the final celebration.

WHY THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT

This role is great for people who:

  • Love serving guests and working hard to help people make great memories

  • Enjoy public speaking, performing, or entertaining

  • Want a fun and upbeat job on your feet... not at a desk! to

  • Are looking for growth opportunities (not required, but there are opportunities for growth!)

  • Thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments


People who do best here are naturally hospitable, coachable, and energized by making someone else’s day better.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Guest Experience & Hosting

  • Lead groups of 2-14 guests through live game shows

  • Deliver upbeat, conversational introductions

  • Introduce each mini-game clearly and enthusiastically

  • Improvise fun, family-friendly commentary for guests of all ages

  • Track points, award winners, and celebrate with guests

  • Deliver a clear, engaging outro recap of the experience

  • Resolve service failures immediately and graciously

  • Check in guests for their game show and prepare them for fun!


Operations & Team Support

  • Use Host software and studio UI to operate game shows

  • Ensure studios are reset accurately and efficiently using setup sheets

  • Maintain cleanliness of games and the GBGS facility

  • Restock inventory and complete required reports

  • Use a company iPhone to capture exciting guest moments and create/send highlight videos

  • Maintain excellent time management to stay on schedule for assigned games

GROWTH & CAREER PROGRESSION

This role is designed with clear opportunities for growth. As you grow in skill, consistency, and leadership, opportunities may include:

  • Pay increases tied to performance and positional changes

  • Training certifications and advanced hosting responsibilities

  • Advancement into leadership roles

We believe in transparent expectations. Growth comes from excellent hospitality, alignment with Mission, Vision and Values, teamwork, a positive attitude, and mastery of the current role you are in. We promote based on Performance, Availability and Commitment. Team members who excel in these areas can grow very quickly!

Team members that excel can grow as quickly as:

  • Team Leader: 3-6 months

  • Assistant Manager In Training: 6-9 months

  • Assistant Manager: 9-12 months

Further growth can lead to a GM role either in your current store or relocating to a new location, as GBGS opens new stores across the country!
