Front of House

Escape Masters
02.2022 - 03.2022

I worked a front of house position at Escape masters. The roll required me to meet and sign in guests, give them briefings on the rooms they were playing, which included safety briefings. Then after the players had finished I would escort them out and reset the room. Resetting the room required close attention to detail and finishing the reset in a short amount of time.


I really enjoyed the role I had there but had to leave due to the short amount of hours they had available.
