About The Position

Game Show Studio is building a new category in location-based entertainment: an immersive, Hollywood style game show experience where friends, families, coworkers, and private groups become the contestants. Each experience is hosted, produced, and tailored to the group, creating the energy of a live television game show in a format designed for repeat visits, celebrations, and corporate events. The business is expanding quickly across the United States, with Canada on the horizon. Its flexible model can operate as a standalone venue or within an existing entertainment destination – such as Family Entertainment Centers, Escape Rooms, Bowling Centers, Axe Throwing, and other similar concepts. For established operators, Game Show Studio creates a compelling way to activate underused space, attract new customers, extend visits, and add a high margin revenue stream. Franchisees/Licensees receive hands on support across marketing, booking, production, technology, training, and ongoing gameplay content. We are hiring our first dedicated sales leader for new location growth. This is an opportunity for a proven salesperson to work directly with Jack Slayton, COO to execute the sales process and build the playbook that will power the company’s next stage of growth. Game Show Studio can expand through both franchise agreements and licensing rights. The licensing path can remove steps from the traditional franchise process and materially increase sales velocity when it is the right fit for the operator. The first-year objective is to bring 15 to 20 new locations into the system, then help build the team and infrastructure required to scale further.
