Escape Room Host

Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group • Long Beach, CA

8d • $20 - $20 • Onsite

About The Position

Are you energetic, personable, and passionate about creating memorable guest experiences? As an Escape Room Host, you will welcome groups, set the stage for their adventure, and guide them through an exciting, immersive escape room experience from start to finish. You’ll be the host behind the scenes and the face of the experience—building excitement before the game, monitoring each group during gameplay, delivering thoughtful hints when needed, and celebrating their success afterward. If you enjoy engaging with people, staying attentive to details, and helping guests have fun under pressure, this is the role for you. No two groups experience an escape room the same way. As an Escape Room Host, you will help bring each adventure to life by reading the room, adapting your communication style, and providing the right level of energy and support for every group. One group may need enthusiastic encouragement and frequent hints; another may want to solve every puzzle independently. Your ability to balance storytelling, guest service, game operations, and attention to detail will make every visit feel exciting, smooth, and unforgettable.

Requirements

• A friendly, engaging host who enjoys making guests feel welcome, comfortable, and excited about their experience.
• Confident speaking to groups and delivering clear instructions, game briefings, rules, and safety information.
• Customer-service focused, with the ability to adapt your communication style to guests of different ages, personalities, group sizes, and experience levels.
• Attentive, observant, and able to monitor multiple details during a live game, including guest progress, safety, timing, game flow, and room conditions.
• Reliable, organized, and proactive, with the ability to manage game resets, prepare rooms between bookings, and keep experiences running on schedule.
• A quick learner who is comfortable using game technology, puzzle systems, locks, props, radios, tablets, or other operational tools.
• Calm and professional under pressure, able to troubleshoot minor technical issues and respond appropriately to guest questions or concerns.
• Detail-oriented and committed to resetting each room accurately so every group receives the same high-quality experience.
• Passionate about creating fun, immersive experiences that guests will remember and recommend to others.
