Full Job Description

THE ROLE

Great Big Game Show Hosts are hospitality and entertainment experts who genuinely love people, thrive in fast-paced environments, and take pride in creating unforgettable guest experiences.

At our core, we’re a hospitality company. Hosting here is less about being the star of the show and more about taking care of people and helping them have an incredible time.

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, guide the experience, 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 role is ideal for candidates with experience in hospitality, retail, theatre, improv, sales, or other customer-facing roles.

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, engaging with groups, or bringing energy to a room
Want a fun and upbeat job on your feet... not at a desk!
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.

If you’ve ever been told “you’re great with people,” “you bring the energy,” or “you make things fun for everyone else,” you’ll probably love this role.

Great fit for candidates with backgrounds in:

Retail sales or customer-facing roles
Restaurant host, server, or hospitality roles
Theatre, improv, acting, or performance
Tour guides, camp counselors, or teachers
Brand ambassadors or event hosts

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Guest Experience & Hosting

Lead groups of 2–14 guests through live game shows
Deliver clear, upbeat, and welcoming introductions
Introduce each mini-game in a way that is easy to understand and fun to play
Improvise light, family-friendly commentary that enhances the guest experience
Track points, award winners, and celebrate with guests
Deliver a clear, engaging outro recap of the experience
Resolve service issues immediately and with care
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.

REQUIREMENTS

Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays
Ability to stand and host for extended periods (up to 4–5 game shows per shift)
Comfort with extended public speaking and guest interaction
Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with groups
Ability to improvise appropriate, professional commentary
Strong verbal communication skills
Ability to perform physical tasks such as cleaning, lifting 30–40 lbs, bending, crawling, painting, and minor repairs
Ability to reset game components within specific timeframes
Alignment with GBGS Uniform Standards (Click HERE to view the uniform standards)

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES

Genuine love for serving others
Coachability, humility, and a team-first mindset
Quick decision-making and creative problem-solving
Basic computer and technology skills
Comfort working in a fast-paced, guest-focused environment
