Who are Big Potato?

We’re an indie board game company based in the heart of Shoreditch. From quiz games to drawing games, TV game shows to mobile apps, we like to turn our hands to all sorts. No matter what the project, we always try to stick to one golden rule: to make sure our games are easy to understand, fun to play and guaranteed to get the party started.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone creative who’s keen to jump into the board game world right away. You don’t need to know everything about board games to apply, but be interested to learn and get stuck in.

Have a good knowledge of simple design tools like Canva and editing skills on Premiere Pro or a similar program.

Be capable of managing your time and working to strict deadlines.

Be able to think on your feet and capture behind the scenes content on the fly.

Have an interest in party games in general. Like we said, we’re not looking for experts, but if you’ve ever hung out at a board games cafe or hosted a pub quiz, it definitely wouldn’t hurt to mention it.
