Before you proceed, you must meet every requirement below.

  • You are 16 years of age or older.
  • You have a stable internet connection. Disconnects mid-game can compromise the entire cast.

  • You have the desktop version of Discord installed (not browser, not mobile) and an account in good standing.
  • You are comfortable being recorded and having your footage published publicly on YouTube.
  • You bring the spirit of the game. Scheming, betrayal, and respectful drama are all encouraged.
  • You can commit to the full production window. Shoots run between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM Eastern, with standard call time at 7:00 PM ET. Players arrive 30 minutes before game start. Expect 2.5 to 3 hours per game.
  • You agree to sign a standard release before filming, granting permission to publish your appearance.

Your Information

The basics. We use this to contact you and confirm scheduling.

The Audition

This is where we meet you.

Record a video between 2 and 3 minutes long using the exact setup you intend to play the game with. Use the same camera, same mic, same lighting, same room, etc.

We're looking for people who pop on camera: energy, presence, charisma, opinions. Tell us who you are, why you want to play, and what kind of player you'd be. Be entertaining. Be honest. Be specific.

Backstab is committed to casting a diverse, intersectional group of players. Every background, identity, and perspective is welcome and encouraged.

Upload your video to YouTube (unlisted), Google Drive, Dropbox, or any platform that produces a shareable link. Paste the link below.

Application Received

Thank you for applying. We review every application personally. If you're a fit, you'll hear from us at the email address you provided.

Until then — trust no one.
