If you have four hours a day to spare for four weeks in a row, Mattel is looking to hire one lucky TikToker to be the company’s new “Chief Uno Player.” The pay: $4,444.44 for four weeks in a row.
The company is using the popular video-sharing app to promote its new card game, Uno Quatro, by calling for content creators to apply for the part-time position. Applicants need to have a competitive streak, “really good vibes” and be open to “challenging randos” to play this twist on the classic card game.
The chief Uno player will earn $17,777 after a month of challenging strangers on the street at Pier 17 in the Seaport neighborhood of New York City — and creating TikTok videos based on their Uno Quatro matches.
