Question 1

Is this real?

Accepted Answer

Yes — The Admin Arena is a real competition series with real contestants, real games, and real prizes.

Question 2

How does this work?

Accepted Answer

We meet once or twice a week on a recurring basis to play the games. Sessions are filmed and the footage is produced into the show.

Question 3

What are the games like? How familiar with HubSpot do I need to be?

Accepted Answer

These are more minigames than technical challenges. You do not need to be an expert — coding will not be used. If you know your way around HubSpot at all, you're ready.

Question 4

How long does filming take?

Accepted Answer

A typical filming session is approximately 2 hours.

Question 5

If you'd like to have your name featured in a thank-you page or receive other perks, you can check out our Patreon. It's completely optional.

Question 6

I can win money?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This year we are giving away $5,000+ in cash and prizes, including tickets to INBOUND.

Question 7

What happens after submitting my application?

Accepted Answer

Applications close, then we launch The Trials phase where applicants play a game to officially join the cast. After The Trials we narrow down candidates and kick off the final phase. Final contestants are notified and a recurring meeting is scheduled for gameplay.

Question 8

Will I need to be on camera?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You will need to be on camera, and will need an earbud or headset so other players can be heard without using speakers. This ensures only your audio is recorded during your sessions.

Be interesting and enthusiastic in your application video, and subscribe to the YouTube channel.
