Key Points
- Like most amusement parks, you will require staff members to monitor the day-to-day activities.
- You can unlock staff very early in the game, and you can pick various staff depending on the jobs they do.
- Hiring staff will make it easier to manage your park while you are not around.
Since you are running a successful waterpark in Waterpark Simulator, you have to manage most of the tasks on your own. If you have friends to play with, then things will be easier. But you don’t have to be alone in your adventure, as you can hire staff if you are playing solo. There are several staff types who will perform various tasks in the game.
Waterpark Simulator – Staff Overview
| Staff | Job Role |
| Ticket vendor | Works on the cash register to hand out tickets to customers |
| Food Vendor | Can be assigned to the food stalls around the park |
| Janitor | Helps in cleaning up trash and debris |
| Lifeguard | Keeps watch over the visitors while they are in the pool |
| Handyman | Required for regular park maintenance |
| Security | Helps maintain order in the park |
How to Hire Staff
To start hiring staff, you need to earn research points by playing the game and leveling up. Then, visit the park’s research tree and select the Attractions, Parks, and Maintenance tabs. If you scroll through the table, you will find several unlocks for the various staff that you can hire. You need to unlock the previous skills before you can reach the staff unlocks.
Most staff in the early tiers of the research tree will just require research points, but some of the late game staff will require other materials too, like cash. Initially, you will just get 4 slots to hire staff, but you can increase staff slots by heading into the Maintenance skill tree and selecting the Hiring Level Up option.
How to Find Staff
Press the Tab key to bring up your tablet, then select the Hire option at the bottom. This will bring up a list of employees you can hire. Select each one to check their job profile and their daily wage requirement. If you don’t like the selection given, you can press the refresh icon in the top right corner.
But I won’t recommend doing this, as this will take up research points to refresh. Instead, start a new day and check your tablet again to find new staff to hire.
Best Staff to Hire First
During my playthrough, I found some staff more important than others. Here is the priority order that I followed while hiring staff.
- Janitor – Hiring a janitor helped with regular park cleanliness while I took over other tasks like taking care of stalls and the ticket counter.
- Handyman – This option ties with the Janitor, as it became easier to maintain and build my rides with the handyman around. Will suggest getting the Janitor and Handyman as early as you can.
- Food vendor – The next best hire to have if you have unlocked food stalls, as having a food vendor will free up some of your time to do other things and explore.
- Lifeguard – I had a hard time rescuing visitors as I progressed through the game and had a larger number of people visiting my park. Having a Lifeguard on duty helped ease that tension.
- Ticket vendor – The ticket vendor is a great pick for early game, but after unlocking the Automatic Ticket Machine, I could take over the counter myself. It’s still nice to have one around if you want to relax.
- Security – This hire is great for late game to chase away unruly visitors to my park.
