Game Show Host - Operations & Guest Experience Internship

THE ROLE Great Big Game Show Hosts are world‑class hospitality experts who genuinely love people, thrive in high‑energy environments, and take pride in creating unforgettable guest experiences. 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, 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! Our Internship program offers an opportunity to learn more of the behind‑the‑scenes operations that go into running a dynamic and fast‑growing retail‑entertainment business. This would look like fast‑tracking into a team leader position and joining our internal leadership development course led by our Director of Operations. You would gain hands‑on management experience leading shifts of 3‑5 team members and learning what it’s like to lead and motivate a team.

This is a guest‑facing, performance‑based role where energy, confidence, and care for others matter. Hosts set the tone for the entire experience, from the first introduction to the final celebration. People who do best here are naturally hospitable, coachable, and energized by making someone else’s day better.
