Who We Want (in one sentence): A creative, driven, writing-oriented paid intern (5K over the 3 months) to write, develop and promote interactive mobile games using SCVNGR technology (www.scvngr.com). Read on for more about the position below.

About SCVNGR: SCVNGR is the worldÂ’s only enterprise-level geo-gaming platform. We provide the software and infrastructure to power location-based mobile games for institutions and individuals. These games, tours, interactive experiences etcÂ… are played by hundreds of thousands of people via iPhone App, Android App, Mobile Web and even SMS. Over the last year, SCVNGR has been purchased and deployed by over 500 institutions in 46 states and 3 countries with a client repeat rate of over 90%. Our clients are museums, conferences, universities, corporations, promotional firms, individual game-builders and even the U.S. Military (I know, cool right?). In our first full year in business we did just over $1MM in revenue and are on track to do five times that next year. WeÂ’re venture backed by Highland Capital to the tune of another million dollars and we recently received a $4MM investment from Google Ventures to be used to push new features and expand internationally! Yes, I know we are taking the world by storm! Check us out in Business Week, TechCrunch and Forbes Magazine.

About the Position / Program: WeÂ’re hosting a internship program and are looking for a new Clue Shredder. What's a Clue Shredder, you ask? A Clue Shredder is a talented, motivated and ambitious person looking to gain some experience working in a fast-paced, high-tech start up and actually make a meaningful impact (paper-pushers need not apply). When you're not putting your own spin on the traditional scavenger hunt, you will be collaborating with other SCVNGR team members on exciting projects. You'll report for duty at our awesome offices in downtown Boston but you're game writing endeavors may take you out and about gathering location based information about your game sites. (Though I must warn you it is hard to leave the office when you have a full sized pool table and ride can ride your bike indoors to get from one conference room to the others!)

The program described below is for our “Not Your Typical Game Writer Internship” program.

SCVNGRÂ’s software enables anyone, individual or institution, to quickly and easily build sophisticated location based mobile games. WeÂ’re looking for a creative (paid) intern over 3 months to experiment with the platform and build exciting interactive mobile games using our software. As a clue shredder, you will write games for the individual as well as clients! For an example of what our games look like, check out: http://vimeo.com/4492994!

The games that you build will be played by the public!

We are looking for an extremely creative and bright intern who is excited by the idea of spending a couple months experimenting with some of the coolest new pieces of technology in the mobile market. SCVNGR games are deployed via text message, mobile web and native phone apps (iPhone and Android) meaning that you will get to build games that make use of live streaming audio and video, real-time GPS tracking and more. (And no, it doesnÂ’t require any tech skills, thatÂ’s what the SCVNGR tech team is here for.)

What it does require is great writing skills, a special talent with words, an amazingly creative mind and a love of clues, riddles, ciphers and probably a decent sense of humor. YouÂ’ll be building interactive fiction style games that blend digital interactivity with real-world interaction using our state of the art technology to tie it all together.

The program will also include exciting learning opportunities that you can only really get at a high-tech start up.

The whole point is that this when we say it’s “not your typical internship,” we mean it. You’ll be working hard for sure, but you’ll also learn a tremendous amount and having a ton of fun essentially building and promoting awesome games.

Are you the next Clue Shredder? Yes? Then please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our company by visiting www.scvngr.com. Send a resume / thoughtful cover letter to kate@scvngr.com. Only applications that include 2 original game ideas will be considered! This is your audition, good luck!
