HushHush is a company that provides services for those looking for something luxury, including a marketplace for expensive goods and services, bringing together buyers and sellers around the world, but it turns out they've had a request from an anonymous customer to create something reminiscent of games like PUBG and Fortnite.
You guessed it, battle royale is what we're talking about, and HushHush is looking for someone to help design an arena for a 100-person "battle royale inspired event". The rate is £1,500 a day and the job is expected to last six weeks.
HushHush explains that they were approached by a customer who's looking for a private island to help set up the championship, and HushHush will also be handling registration when the time arrives. It's not a real fight to the death though, as Airsoft guns, ammo, and touch-sensitive armour will be provided for an event lasting three days. The stakes are high, since the winner gets a jackpot of £100,000, and we'll see the competition played for 12 hours each day. One the 12 hours are up competitors will camp for the night, with food and gear provided.
The company needs a "gamemaker" who can help design the arena though, who needs experience in large-scale event management and set design (you can apply here if you like).
"Battle royale games have become incredibly popular over the last few years ago and our customer is a huge fan who wants to make the game a reality in the safest way possible. If the championship is a success this year, it's something he wants to make an annual event moving forward, which is very exciting," HushHush founder Aaron Harpin said.
"If you're a fan of last-person-standing movies and games, it'll be a great opportunity to have a once in a lifetime experience and earn a significant amount of money. However, to get there, our concierge team needs some help to make it a reality. The first thing we need is a talented gamemaker to help us make the event as realistic as possible."
Does this sound like a good idea?
