Game Show Host, St. Louis

THE ROLE:

Great Big Game Show hosts are world-class hospitality experts who are genuinely delighted to anticipate each individual guest’s needs, enthusiastically serve them, and do whatever it takes to make their day!

Hosts at Great Big Game Show will lead guests through our live game show experiences. In each hour-long game show, contestants earn points for their team by competing in 8-10 minigames. These minigames feature a variety of physical, trivia, luck, and skill challenges, giving every contestant an opportunity to shine. Hosts will introduce each game, add fun commentary, track points, and ultimately award a winner.

Hosts set the tone for the entire experience by delivering an upbeat, conversational introduction to groups of 2-14 guests, and they connect with guests of all ages to make their visit as fun and memorable as possible. During gameplay, hosts will introduce each minigame, keep the energy up by adding fun commentary, track points, award a winning team, and ensure every single guest enjoys their experience. After the game, hosts celebrate with guests and reset studio components accurately and efficiently.
