Paradox parlours was created in 2017 by Tom and Steven. Back then we were called Guildford escape rooms and as the name sugests we only had rooms in Guildford. Tom and Steven's backgrounds are both in making excellent customer experiences for groups of people. Both have some individual skills that have shaped the business into the 5-star rated establishment it is today. You'll usually find Tom fiddling with some tech in the room or coding the latest clue system. Steven will one of our power tools in hand shaping a prop or putting up a new wall!

Since it's conception in 2017 paradox parlours have expended from the single small space in Guildford housing 2 games to an additional space in Guildford housing our fantastic lobby space and another game and recently Woking to create 3 more experiences.

Since playing our first escape room (we've now both played around 140 each), our passion has been to create a fun, challenging 5-star experience for every customer who comes to play. If you want to join us in continuing to bring this to life then you'll be perfect for the job!

We have a very high standard of host delivering our escape rooms. However, we reward this high standard by creating a relaxed, fair and fun environment to work in. You must be comfortable chatting to groups as you will be the one building up the excitement and tension before they enter the room. Your time keeping should be impeccable. As a host you should always be ready for a group to arrive, we have ample time between games to reset, but also to allow a little flexibility for groups who arrive late. Being able to concentrate while monitoring a game is crucial. You will be the extra team member delivering the perfect hint when needed. You’ll need to have picked up what information they have learnt as a team about a puzzle and how to compile a hint which will be useful for the team to progress.

Adding to this, as one of our general managers you'll be looking to help all other members of staff with their work, you'll create and publish content on our email and social channels and be responsible for making sure all bookings are staffed.

We don't want to exclude anybody from our team, but an integral part of the job requires that you be able to climb flights of stairs, lift and move a range of objects around, crouch, stretch etc. throughout the day, so we have to ask that you be capable of this. Please contact us if you need more information about this or you think you may be capable of joining the team despite this.
