Patchwork Adventures

Compensation & Benefits: Starting at $100 per gig, travel will be covered. Gigs range from 1 hour to 3 hours and may require some prep time. This is a 1099 gig position.
Posted: June 19
Patchwork Adventures is seeking actor/facilitators for our games, especially our new IRL/hybrid games. Facilitators will work with teams to hide clues, send information to players, and have a good time. The games are puzzle-based scavenger hunt/escape game/murder mystery type experiences which we install in public and private spaces. Facilitators will scope out game locations, hide clues in public locations, act/facilitate the group to make sure eveyrone’s having fun, and report back about the experience. Each IRL/Hybrid game will have at least two facilitators, so you would never be out hosting a game by yourself and you’ll have someone to rely on if anything happens.
Locations: We’re specifically looking for actors/facilitators in SF Bay Area, LA, Austin, NYC or Boston but open to everywhere
