School Holiday Workshop Hosts Needed (Murder Mystery Style)
Casual | Brisbane + Regional QLD | $100 for the first hour, $30/hour after | 22 Sep - 8 Oct
A fun, flexible gig for these school holidays - no experience needed, just good energy
AmazingCo creates and delivers real-world experiences across Australia and around the world - kids' parties, wine tours, corporate team days, mystery picnics. Our mission is to help people live more fulfilling lives, and these workshops are exactly that for the kids who come along.
You'll guide small groups of kids through a pre-set murder mystery style activity, playing it up with a bit of theatrical flair to keep the whole thing feeling exciting.
What you'll actually be doing
- Lead kids through a pre-set mystery booklet, staying a step ahead of the story
-
Bring a bit of theatre to your delivery - the more fun you make it, the more they'll lean in
-
Run games and guide the kids through "analysing evidence" as part of the activity
-
Set up and pack down before and after each session
-
Keep the energy friendly, positive, and high from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave
What we're looking for
You don't need experience - you need personality and a bit of initiative!
