Many people's first thought when considering an escape room job is either giving hints or resetting rooms. However, those who work as game masters quickly realise: it's much more than that. Hardly any other profession brings you into contact with cheerful people so often.
Most guests arrive full of anticipation. They want to experience an exciting adventure together with friends, family or colleagues and simply have a good time. Instead of stress and bad moods, you usually experience laughter, enthusiasm and real moments of success.
Particularly beautiful are the many unforgettable moments. Girls and boys who, during their Children's birthday in an escape room radiant with joy because they've solved the puzzle. Groups hugging each other jubilantly after a narrow escape. Or even marriage proposals, built into an escape room, creating goosebump moments. Each layer can write its very own stories.
The encounters with the most diverse people also make the job exciting. Some guests, for example, are visiting for the first time. Company event in an escape room and marvel at the experience. Others are real fans, having played dozens of rooms already and enthusiastically discuss mechanisms, puzzles, or their previous adventures. This often leads to interesting conversations and you constantly get to know new perspectives.
Of course, organisation is also part of it: preparing rooms, checking equipment and ensuring the next groups have a perfect start. But it is precisely this that contributes to the guests being able to enjoy their adventure to the fullest.
For those who enjoy working with people, like exciting stories, and delight in the joy of others, the role of an escape room game master offers an extraordinary workplace. No two days are the same –.
