Join us for impromptu games of Hide and Seek with MyVMK Staff! All throughout the month, the staff will be hosting Hide and Seek games and hiding in public rooms only. Find one and you will receive a special Animators' Collection Pin at random! Games will be announced as an in-game announcement and on our Twitter (@MyVMK) 15 minutes before the game begins. To win, you must find a staff member that is hidden, STAND NEXT to them, and be the first to say the following statement: “I found you (StaffMemberName)!”
Please note that players must WAIT to say the winning phrase until standing NEXT to the hidden staff member, rather than saying the winning statement as they enter the room, or while walking towards the staff member. Perfect grammar and punctuation is not required, but make sure to use the correct prefix (VMK_/HOST_/GA_/PROMO_/GR_) and try your best to type the statement correctly. Any magic used for an unfair advantage will result in a disqualification in the room the player is currently in. Winners will be up to the discretion of the staff member hiding.

Ever wanted to know more about your favorite staff member? Now you can! Every month we will be interviewing a different member of the MyVMK Staff. Here is the most recent interview!
Say hello to this month's staff of the month... PROMO_Luca
What is your favorite thing to do around the Kingdom?
I love playing POTC with our guests! I try not to do it too often, so that it's special, but I always enjoy getting to interact with everyone! I'm looking forward to continuing these surprise pop-ups in 2022 with you all!
What is your favorite thing to do behind the scenes?
I don't want to spoil any surprises, but there's always stuff happening behind the curtain! I love working on big projects, and giving new things to guests! they often take up much of my free time, so I apologize if sometimes I appear to be AFK, but players should keep their eyes peeled in 2022 for some exciting things coming!
Have you ever helped out with hosting or designing?
Sometimes I'll sit in on HOST events and be social. It's always fun to be with our players! Eventually I would love to try designing an item or two as well, but I'm not great at drawing, so I haven't decided yet what I would make. But the possibilities are still endless!
What is your favorite type of Guest Room?
The dark ride room always has so much potential, because you can literally make it into almost anything! I almost exclusively used these at one point as a player, because it gave my imagination lots of room to wander! I really enjoy getting to sit down and create something with all the items we have available!
What is your favorite Public Room in the Kingdom?
I always enjoy hanging out in Africa and being social. I'm an extrovert, so seeing all the players there riding the safari and hanging out really brings a smile to my face!
What is your favorite mini-game in MyVMK?
POTC, of course! I can't wait to host more pop-up game nights with you all in 2022!
What is your favorite theme on VMK?
Most recently, I really enjoyed our travel theme! It's always great to make new adventures around the globe!
Favorite MyVMK memory?
So far, my favorite memory so far has been playing POTC against staff during the Battle the Staff event we had in January 2021! ... but there just might be an even more exciting memory coming for you all in 2022! So keep your eyes peeled!
What is your favorite Disney park?
EPCOT, without a doubt - especially during the food festival! I love all the different flavors from around the world (which really goes hand-in-hand with travel!) and personally I've always been more imagination-oriented. So the engineering and creativity aspects of EPCOT appeal to me the most! I can't wait to go back again soon!
Who is your favorite Disney Character?
I picked Luca because I think there are a lot of similarities between the two of us, at least back in my childhood. However, there are so many great Disney characters that I would be remiss if I didn't talk about my favorite to watch - Kuzco! No matter how many times I've watched The Emperor's New Groove, I still love it every time!
Is there any advice you would give to guests?
The best advice that I could give is this... just go out and have fun! At the end of the day, this is a wonderful game where we can all hang out and be social, and above all that's the most important aspect! I know on the staff end there are always internal unexpected challenges that we have to overcome, but as long as our guests are having fun then that's what matters most! I promise to always put my best foot forward for our guests, as much as possible, and I hope that they really enjoy what we're creating!
