Breakout Games provides a real-life escape room adventure for small groups. We are located in Lexington, Kentucky with an aggressive growth plan to open new games in multiple states during the next several months. Breakout Games is the largest escape game company in the US with over 40 locations. Our business model is simple – provide a fun, interactive environment for a group of friends, family, or coworkers to escape from before time runs out. This includes solving puzzles, cracking codes, finding hidden items, and more in order to escape. Our core values are “do good” – “be better” – “have fun”.

Breakout Games is looking for a Scenic Designer/CAD Designer to create highly-polished, immersive themed physical game experiences. Can you transform an empty room into a submarine, dingy basement, or a casino? Then this is the job for you! At Breakout, you will get the chance to bring your creative ideas to life for hundreds of thousands of people nationwide.

You must be someone who is instinctively self-motivated, fiercely creative, and flexible in our fast-paced environment. You must be able to work calmly and communicate effectively under tight deadlines and rigorous expectations. This position requires you to have a bias toward production - avoiding the temptation to work and think in the abstract while failing to deliver physical results. We want someone who is eager for feedback and excellence, not perfection on the first try. You will have the opportunity and freedom to learn new things and cultivate your abilities to create immersive room designs that exceed guest expectations. Breakout is the industry-leading escape game company, and we want to hire individuals who grow into industry leaders themselves. Must have experience in concept design, pre-visualization, 3D modeling/rendering (photorealistic rendering a plus), storyboarding, prop fabrication, and set dressing. Applicants with a background in set design and technical theatre are encouraged to apply.

We will be doing most of our CNC and fabrication in house. Knowledge of mold-making and casting processes is extremely useful. You will be in charge of designing, prototyping, and completing the final production-level design. Most production and installation will be handled by our themed construction team.

Required Experience:

5 years of CAD design

2 years of Themed Environment Design and set prop fabrication

2 years of CNC experience

Software:

AutoCAD (required), Revit, SketchUp Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and/or similar industry standard rendering/layout software

Optional Experience:

Mechanical and/or Hydraulic Prop Systems

Position will be in Lexington, KY at Breakout Headquarters.
