Want to role-play as a mouse, a rooster, and every other thing under the sun?
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’ve visited 6 other cities so far, hidden a million dollars in Singapore in 2024, 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 Senior Copywriter, you’ll join our storytellers in bringing games to life through a variety of personas. Aside from being the voices of our games and developing narratives, you’ll also get to dabble in stuff like treasure hunts and social media copywriting. We’re open to ideas from literally anyone in the team, so be prepared to go wild, challenge, and be challenged on this journey. If you’re creative, attentive, and can conjure worlds with just your pen (or keyboard), we would absolutely love to meet you.
