Events Management Internship

Sherlocked is an award-winning experience design studio behind a wide range of both live and online adventures.

Our mission: to make the world more magical.

We’re looking for an events intern to work alongside our creative team starting around September (start date flexible), focusing on:

1. Our new escape game for large groups in Amsterdam

2. Customer support for our Amsterdam escape rooms, including our soon opening Sherlock Holmes adventure

3. Custom event games on location

You’ll be working under the guidance of Ella, who previously ran her own events studio before taking over operations at Sherlocked.

A bit more about what you'll be focusing on:

Large group games

We frequently host events at our headquarters for the ‘mysterious travel chest game’ Time Crimes.

As an events intern you will communicate with both customers and game hosts, ensure the location is prepared, and take care of hospitality on the premises.

In September we're also launching the successor to Time Crimes, a maritime/pirate themed game called Parlay, for which you'd become the bridge between customer experience and our design team.

Customer support

Personalised editions of our adventures for special occasions, such as birthdays and engagements.

Custom event games

We’re often invited to design custom event-based games for clients, which poses a whole new set of challenges that will require you at your sharpest to navigate.

Running & Improving our Escape Rooms

You’ll be trained to be able to run any of our 3 escape rooms, both for the purpose of improving them and to step in if someone on the team falls ill. You’ll use your knowledge of hospitality to improve our customers’ experience, from our website and customer service to the on-location experience and beyond.

Are you:

• Self-determined. You don’t wait for people to give you tasks; you invent your own and take initiative. You ask for help where needed.

• Excited about event management. Organisation comes naturally to you, you have a hands-on mentality, and you’re excited to assist in coordinating all aspects of event planning.

• Able to iterate. We are a design-led organisation and often go through multiple versions to get things right, and that's an environment you thrive in.

• Eager to learn. The tricks of the trade are constantly changing, and you are eager to develop your skills.

What do we offer?

• A fun internship and rich variety of projects

• A team of creative, enthusiastic and driven colleagues

• Many opt-in team events like escape rooms (live and online), game nights and other surprise experiences

• A great workplace in the heart of Amsterdam, combined with the freedom to work remotely

• For international students: we can try to help with housing, as this can be quite challenging in Amsterdam, though this remains your responsibility
