Application deadline: June 30, 2019

We have more mysteries than ever and we need more Game Operators to solve them!

Do you love playing detective or secret agent, but want to get paid? Then you’re in luck! As a Game Operator you’re sent by HQ to brief anywhere between 2 and 120 players for their Vancouver Mysteries spy, superhero, or murder mystery game. You’re fun, reliable, and you love working with people. You’re the kind of person who is always on time. You might have a theatre or performance background, and you’re a natural entertainer. This might just be the most fun job you’ve ever had!

  •  You’re an entertainer who might have a theatre or performance background
  •  You’re reliable and time conscious
  •  You enjoy being organized and well prepared
  •  You’ve been told you have good attention to detail
  •  You love serving customers and working with people
  •  You love solving problems and puzzles, including word, tactile, math, and simple code-breaking
  •  You’re capable of working by yourself

Beneficial, but not essential:

  •  You have been a tour guide or have led large groups
  •  Worked in the tourism industry
