The Team behind NQ 64, the retro gaming bar, is looking for volunteer testers, ahead of its launch in August.
Calling all gamers and cocktail drinkers! NQ64 needs your help as they gear up to launch in Leeds on Thursday 29th August. The team behind this retro arcade and classic console venue needs the nimble-fingered assistance of local gamers and cocktail drinkers to test out the venue’s new games and drinks.
With this dream role you would have exclusive first access to the Leeds venue, invitations to all future NQ64 launches and unlimited gaming across all their venues!
Recruitment takes place on August 26th and 27th at the Merrion Street venue – but NO need for interviews or swanky suits. Over the two days, 250 applicants will have free rein to try out retro arcade games and classic consoles from the 90s and 00s, including Mario Kart, Time Crisis, the dance mats and Point Blank.
Each day features a retro gaming competition, and the top leaderboard scorer across both days wins the job! The successful applicant will enjoy unlimited games at all NQ64 venues across the country for the rest of the year with the opportunity to suggest new games for the Leeds venue.
Games on offer at NQ64 include pinball machines and popular titles such as Guitar Hero, Pac-Man, Street Fighter and a dance machine, alongside retro consoles like SNES, MegaDrive, Gamecube and PlayStation. Participants will also be able to review the mega drinks on offer, including specially selected beers from local brewers, classix cocktails (yes there are six), and game-themed signature cocktails such as the Kong Island Iced Tea and the Lemmingade.
NQ64 Leeds is the brand’s 12th site and will be transformed into a neon-splattered haven, adorned with the brand’s signature UV graffiti designs on the walls and ceilings. Leeds’ old-school gamers will be able to spend the evening playing classics from their childhood, long into the night and without retribution!
“We take boozing and gaming seriously at NQ64 and genuinely need your help in testing our games and our new staff’s bar skills,” said NQ64 owner Matt Robson. “The venue is shaping up nicely, with our decorators starting to transform the space. We think NQ64 will add something to Leeds’ already stellar entertainment scene, and I personally can’t wait for the launch party! If you want to help with game testing, check out our Instagram for more details.”
