Trivia Host

Fun fact: Trivia Mafia LLC runs multiple types of bar games – Trivia Mafia (this is the Classic, original flavor, two-hours-eight-rounds game) and The Initials Game Live (our newest lil’ bruddah, born of an entirely platonic partnership with Cory Cove of KFAN fame, that’s two-hours-three-rounds-of-five-initials). We also send hosts out to run Private Events for clients like Target Corp, Minnesota Vikings, Prepare + Prosper, Activision, and your favorite cousin’s wedding. We currently operate in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, and New Mexico.

Can you pronounce “archipelago,” engage a crowd, correct all comers, handle hecklers, and run a fun and inclusive event in a timely fashion? You just may have a future in the trivia business. You needn’t be good at trivia (we will give you all the answers), but experience in public speaking and/or performing for a crowd is a big plus. Being reliable, staying friendly, and finding solutions on the fly are key traits! Oh, and you might have to carry a PA or work a janky sound board sometimes, just FYI.

Our staff includes teachers, actors, engineers, zoologists, parents, single cat ladies, former Jeopardy! contestants, recovering jocks, and some regular people, so you’ll probably fit right in. We hire people with a wide variety of identities and beliefs. We ask our hosts to treat all players and customer staff with respect and courtesy, and do all we can to ensure a safe and equitable environment for our employees in turn.

Trivia Mafia pays new hosts $18/hour for 2.8 hour shifts, and offers PTO/Sick-Safe Time, which accumulates every 28 hours worked (or, every ten shifts). In most cases, hosts are assigned to a single site to run the same shift and build up a great rapport with our customer business site and the players there, but we encourage people to pick up extra shifts as a sub for others as well. We accept applications on a rolling basis and keep them on file for ~6-12 months.
