Want to make fun games that have an impact on people’s everyday lives?
We’ve got an opening.
Sqkii is known for our flagship #HuntTheMouse campaign that gives away cold, hard cash to players who find hidden coins. If you’ve seen Singaporeans squatting in random spots, walking around with metal detectors, or sticking their heads under tables… you’ve probably seen one of our games in action. Besides our hunts, we also create custom games that bring players on other real life adventures and virtual journeys through their mobile screens — they’re also super cool, just ask the mouse.
Right now, we’re bringing #HuntTheMouse beyond the shores of Singapore to other cities across Asia-Pacific. We visited 5 cities in just Q2 2023 alone, and oh boy do we have big plans ahead. Big plans = bigger team, so we’re on the hunt (ha) for someone who wants to hop onto this thrilling ride.
As our Game Designer, you’ll work your magic behind the scenes to bring our current and future games to wild new heights. Fair warning — we’re open to ideas from literally anyone in the team, so you can expect to turn some pretty absurd plans into legit game thingamajigs. If you love games, understand games, and can’t wait to create some of the most exciting ones to date, we (and our Game Design team) are 200% ready to meet you.
See below for more details and hit us up for a chat anytime.
