Become a DJ Trivia Host!

The coolest trivia hosting job EVER!!!

(We might be a little biased)

DJ Trivia STL is a family-owned and locally-managed company.
provide live hosted trivia and music bingo to bars and eateries to help boost their revenue on weeknights (Sunday - Thursday).

We absolutely LOVE this job, but there are some things you should know in order to decide if it's the right fit for you:

Let's start with the bad news.....

  • The pay kinda sucks. Meaning, you won't get rich at this job. After training, we'll start you off around $20/hr, which sounds kinda decent until you realize you only work a few hours per game night. We may have the ability to offer you up to 5 recurring nights a week (Sunday - Thursday), but that's still just some extra spending money. So, if you were looking to support your family, then this is no longer the "coolest" part-time trivia hosting job ever and we probably aren't a good fit. We're looking for someone to join our team with these part-time hours, but still feel like this is a full-time home.

  • You may have to deal with know-it-all drunks. Most of our trivia players are super cool, but every once in a while someone gets a little obnoxious. (This is why teachers make GREAT trivia hosts!) You must be comfortable enforcing the rules and occasionally diffusing an "I know that Istanbul is the capital of Turkey!" situation. (Btw, Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, but it's not the capital; Ankara is.)

  • Uhh... Review and be cool with the previous two points.

And now for some Good News!

  • We're going to pay you $50/night for about 2 hours of work hosting trivia (plus a little bit of time to upload and download your game data before & after hosting)

  • The work is fun, fresh, and dynamic. You will be hosting trivia under one of the most respected and established brands: DJ Trivia!

  • There's opportunity for higher pay when hosting multiple nights. We also offer a music bingo service, so that's even more opportunities to work! We also work private events, which can be even more lucrative for you.

  • We aren't big on stress. While we expect you to keep inside the guidelines of the DJ Trivia game and brand, you're the host and will have the flexibility to do what it takes to build your adoring player and team base.

  • We pretty much supply everything you need: Laptop, speaker, microphone, cables, game, and...

  • You get a nifty DJ Trivia Staff T-Shirt to sport while hosting!

  • You don't have to create the questions! Maybe you've been around that block and realized coming up with questions every week is time consuming. Now you can relish in all the fun parts of hosting trivia and meeting new people, without all the headaches + time commitment of actually building your own game. It's like the best of both worlds! Trust us, you don't want the pressure of creating, marketing, and selling your own trivia company (way too hard).

  • You're gonna be, like, SOOOO popular! 💁‍♀️ Not gonna lie, it is super fun to walk into a bar every week where everyone greets you by name - staff and patrons alike - and is totally stoked to see you! Your inner-drama-kid is going to LOVE this!!!

Sound Cool? Sweet! Let's talk about job requirements:

  • You need to be the type person who gets joy out of channeling your inner Alex Trebek (or Mayim Bialik). Every game, you will bang out twenty questions on the mic. Fun questions. Important questions. Necessary questions. Without questions, we don't have a game. (It's easy, remember, because we supply you with the questions!)

  • You must be able to "computer." You will be on the computer a lot. In addition to our game being run on a Windows laptop, we may give you responsibility for posting end of game photos and promotions to our Instagram (@djtriviastl) and Facebook (DJ Trivia STL) feeds. Bonus if you're experienced in producing Reels or TikToks.

  • You need to be a person who loves to deliver remarkable experiences to other people. It is important that we deliver amazing experiences to players, teams, and location staff. So, you need to be someone who feels good by making other people feel good.

  • You could be the life of the party. You could also be kinda shy and quiet. But we're going to put you on a microphone and project you through a speaker system, so you better be confident in hearing your own voice.

  • We may occasionally swear behind the scenes (not too much, but sometimes a joke is only funny with an F-bomb punchline), but you'll need to be family-friendly when on the microphone. We have zero tolerance for swearing, drinking, or smoking during our games and on the clock. If you can't handle being clean, please don't apply.

  • Preference given to applicants available at least 2 nights a week, Sunday - Thursday, between 6pm and 9pm.

  • It would be great if you have played the DJ Trivia brand before and understand our format. If you want to check us out, visit www.djtrivia.com and enter your zip code for the full list of local games.

  • You MUST have reliable transportation & valid driver’s license.

  • You MUST live in St. Charles County, St. Louis County, or St. Louis City. Warren County and Lincoln County or questionable. Currently, most of our games take place in the St. Charles County area, but we are looking to expand eastward.

  • You SHOULD be 21 or older to apply because some of our locations are 21 and over. This isn't a MUST, so if you've got what it takes... please apply.

    What we don’t expect is perfection or existing skills for you to qualify for this job. We can teach you that. We expect intelligence, energy, and a get it done customer-focused attitude. When you have questions, you will find the answers with a quick shout out to Kim, Vickie, or Craig.

Application Details:


We will likely get dozens of applications for this role each time it's public, and we simply don’t have time to interview that many candidates, so make this stand out if you want a job that will change the entire trajectory of your evening social life.

If this is a job that gets you excited, this is what DJ Trivia STL has to offer:

This is a part-time job. You would start learning the ropes by assisting on one or more game nights per week. Soon after, you'd get your own regular recurring game night and likely grow from there into multiple nights per week. You'll need a car to get around town and we'll provide you the gear you need to be successful, so you'll need a safe place to store it when you're not working.

In addition to being a detailed person, you must follow systems and processes.
In fact, just to prove that you are detailed oriented and can follow procedures when you apply for this position we'd love you to send the manager an email completing the phrase "I am a worldwide trivia master because..."
Yep, that's our little trick to sort out the people who blanket send their resume to anyone and everyone, from the folks (that's you) who are truly interested in this position. You'll find her email at the end of the application.
(What? You think we really wanted to make this job description a mile long?)

We are looking to bring new hosts on board as soon as possible, but we will spend the necessary time to find the best hosts that are the best fit both in abilities and culturally. One thing that will give you a BIG leg up (but, is optional) is to send a quick video in along with your message. And if you decide not to send a video, that's okay, too.

TO APPLY:

  1. Click the button below to fill out the application.

  2. Create an introduction letter or video answering the following question: Tell us how you will fit in THIS job specifically. We know what’s a fit for us and want to know if this is a fit for YOU. We will NOT be calling you to clarify whether or not you’re a fit. SELL US on why we would be lucky to have you on the DJ Trivia STL team!


After you submit your application, THEN email your video or cover letter to [email protected]

Thank you and we can't wait to have you join our hosting team!!
