I'm building a new entertainment brand focused on highly social, emotionally engaging, TikTok-worthy at-home experiences and party games. I am looking for a creative game designer to help transform rough concepts into polished, highly engaging gameplay systems that people want to record, share, replay, and gift. This is NOT a traditional board game project. My concepts blend: - Party games - Social experiments - Taste testing - Creative challenges - Viral social media moments - Competitive and cooperative mechanics - Physical props/cards/components I need someone who understands: - Modern social gameplay trends - Replayability - Viral mechanics - Group psychology - How to create emotional reactions (funny, surprising, competitive, chaotic, nostalgic, etc.) - How to balance structure with improvisation - How to design for content creation and social sharing Responsibilities: - Turn rough ideas into structured game systems - Design gameplay loops, scoring systems, rounds, and mechanics - Create card concepts and challenge systems - Create pacing and engagement - Simplify gameplay while increasing fun - Suggest physical components and props - Design experiences that work well for groups of friends, couples, and parties - Help create expansion pack/theme ideas - Collaborate on naming, positioning, and overall player experience Ideal Experience: - Party game design - Tabletop/card game design - Escape room or experiential design - TikTok/social-first products - Viral product development - UGC-focused experiences - Psychology of play and engagement Bonus if you have experience with any of these: - Kickstarter-style games - Exploding Kittens / What Do You Meme / Cards Against Humanity style mechanics - Social drinking games - Gen Z or Millennial entertainment trends - Content creator products
