Availability

What's your weekly availability? *

Check each day you can work, then drag the two handles to your typical hours. Leave a day unchecked if you're not available.

Please mark at least one day you're available.

We're slammed on these dates. Which can you work?

Check all that apply. Leaving one unchecked does not rule you out on its own. If a date is a conflict you would want to talk through, say so below and we will see what we can do.

Halloween night Black Friday weekend The week between Christmas and New Year's New Year's Eve Spring Break UGA football Saturdays Most weekends in general

Anything else we should know about your schedule?

Just the when, you do not need to tell us why. We would much rather schedule around something than lose you over it.

Can you do the job?

Read this before you answer the next few questions.

You run your own room and your own clients independently. Sometimes you are the only person in the building, and when someone else is on they are busy with their own group.
You bend, kneel, crouch, reach overhead, lift and carry props, furniture and supplies to reset rooms, several times a night.
You do careful hand work against a clock: padlocks, dials, zip ties, magnets, batteries, cables, all reset exactly right before the next group arrives.
You clean every shift: a restroom, floors, dust, trash, the vacuum.
You work in dim rooms with headphones on for an hour at a time, reading a group and deciding when to help.
One lock left open ruins the game for the next group, so detail and following the written procedure exactly is the job.

Answer honestly. A “no” below is not a trick or a trap, it just saves us both a lot of time. The full breakdown is on our Now Hiring page.

Having read that, can you perform those parts of the job? *

Yes, all of it Yes, with a reasonable accommodation I’d like to discuss with you I’m not sure, I have questions first No, that’s not a fit for me

Cleaning is part of every single shift, including a restroom. How do you feel about that? *

No problem, I’ve done it before Fine. Not my favorite, but I’ll do it well Never really done it, but I’m willing Honestly, that’s a dealbreaker for me

You run your own room and clients independently, and sometimes you are the only person in the building. *

I prefer it, I’m good at finding the next thing myself Comfortable with it, I’ve worked solo before I’d rather have a coworker on shift with me Being alone in a building would be hard for me

Slow stretches are chore time, not homework or phone time. Does that work for you? *

Understood, that’s how a job works Works for me, I just needed to know I was hoping to study or do coursework during slow times

Every room reset is checked against a written answer key, even after you know it by heart. *

Be real with us, plenty of good people find this tedious.

That’s exactly how I work, checklists are my thing I can do that. It takes discipline, but I’ll build the habit Honestly, I’d probably start going from memory

Ten minutes left on the clock. The group is frustrated, and one person has given up and sat down. You’re watching on a tablet. What do you do? *

Two or three sentences is plenty. There is no single right answer, we just want to hear how you think.

Is there anything that would get in the way of you doing this job the way it’s described above? *

Schedule, transportation, the physical parts, the solo stretches, anything at all. “Nothing I can think of” is a completely fine answer. We would rather hear it now than run into it in week two.

A little about you

Have you ever played an escape room? *

Yes, several Yes, once or twice No, but excited to try I've helped run or build one

Optional, but we love reading these.
