Voodoo interview, and the case that decides it.

Voodoo's careers page lists four steps: speak with a recruiter or the hiring manager, complete a case study or skill test, discuss your case with the hiring team, and meet senior leadership. It calls case studies and skill tests essential in all its processes. Candidates on Glassdoor report the whole process taking about 25 days on average.

Every Voodoo process includes a case study or skill test, and a round to discuss it with the team. Candidates report cases from about four hours to a week depending on the role, built around Voodoo's own games. The advice below is ours, based on what the cases ask.

• Play the game before you write a word: The cases and the creative test use Voodoo's own titles. Play the one in the brief for long enough to reach the levels and moments you will write about.
• Ask how long you have and what it should look like: Reported cases range from a few hours to a week. Ask the recruiter for the expected time and format, so you don't spend a week on a four-hour task.
• Lead with the recommendation: Open with what you would do and why, then the analysis. The discussion round goes faster when the team knows your answer first.
• Put a number on everything: Tie each idea to a metric a mobile game lives by, such as retention, session length, cost per install or revenue per user, and say how you would test it.
• Choose a few ideas and go deep: Three well-argued changes beat ten bullet points. Show how you would prioritise them.
• Prepare for the defence: List the weakest assumption in your case and an honest answer to it. The case discussion is built to find it.
• Creative team: make the first three seconds count: Voodoo asks for a 9:16 ad of 15 to 30 seconds for one of four games. Start with the gameplay hook, keep it readable without sound, and send it: Voodoo says it replies within 72 hours.

Voodoo publishes the creative test in full but not the other cases. One candidate's marketing developer test, built on Mob Control, is public on GitHub and says they had five days.

Voodoo does not publish interview criteria beyond the process. What the process itself shows is what it weighs.

• Work you can show: a case or skill test in every process
• Defending your thinking: a whole round discussing your case with the team
• Knowing the games: the creative test and the design cases are built on Voodoo's own titles
• Speed: Voodoo reviews creative videos within 72 hours
• English for work, French as a plus for most roles

Voodoo publishes the process but not the questions, and candidates report the cases more than the conversation. The questions below are practice for the case discussion and the leadership meeting.

Your Voodoo interview

Don’t walk into Voodoo hoping. Walk in rehearsed.

Reading about the loop is the easy part. Calibrd predicts the questions Voodoo is likely to ask for your role, interviews you out loud, and tells you what a hiring manager would hear, before the real one does.

Voodoo's ads state no salary ranges; most say "competitive salary". The figure above is total pay reported by one engineer to Levels.fyi, not a figure from Voodoo, so treat it as a single data point.

1. Read Voodoo's careers page and note the four steps, so you know the case is coming.
2. Check the ad for the work mode: remote within a time zone, or three days a week in Paris.
3. Check whether the ad requires French; most ask for English with French as a plus.
4. Play the Voodoo games named in your brief, or in the creative test, before you start.
5. Ask the recruiter how long the case should take and what format to hand in.
6. Build the case around one recommendation, each idea tied to a game metric.
7. Prepare an honest answer to the weakest point in your case before the discussion.
8. For the leadership meeting, prepare why Voodoo and one idea for a game you've played.

This guide covers Voodoo's hiring across game design, publishing, creative and engineering, and notes BeReal. The engineering test is the least documented part. For management and leadership roles the loop is similar but the bar shifts to people, delivery and strategy, so pair it with the leadership interview prep hub. The bar for your exact role comes from the role-by-role guides, and the prep that actually transfers is spoken, so run a mock interview before the real one.

Also interviewing at Roblox, Unity or King? Their guides follow the same format, from the first screen to the offer.
