If you love TikTok and playing games, then don't skip this side hustle: Mattel is looking for a "Chief Uno Officer" to play its new game, Uno Quatro.

The company is using TikTok to promote the family game (a "classic four-in-a-row challenge with a twist") by having the "Chief Uno Officer" engage with strangers on the street at Pier 17 in the Seaport neighborhood of Manhattan — and basically play Uno for half the day.

The gig is four hours a day, four days a week, and lasts four consecutive weeks. (See a pattern?) It pays $4444.44 a week (totaling about $17,776). Applicants can apply on TikTok.
