"Quick Guide: Boosting Staff XP in Two Point Museum"

by Zoe Mar 31,2025

In *Two Point Museum*, every staff member, from Experts and Assistants to Janitors and Security Guards, plays a vital role in the success of your museum. As staff members gain experience (XP), they unlock better skills and become more efficient at their jobs. Here’s how to level up staff XP quickly in *Two Point Museum*.

How To Get Staff XP Fast in Two Point Museum

When staff members embark on Expeditions, certain events, whether beneficial or challenging, are only accessible when they have reached the necessary rank. Excluding staff members from these trips could mean missing out on valuable exhibit upgrades like “+1 Quality” or even putting the expedition party at risk.

While a staff member's rank does not directly affect their day-to-day abilities, it does unlock qualification slots that can significantly impact your museum’s daily operations. Leveling up staff members can seem slow and tedious, especially when you're managing an entire museum, but there are effective strategies to maximize your staff’s experience without compromising your operations.

1. Staff Assignments

Each staff member has a specialty, particularly if they come with a qualification upon hiring. Staff continuously build their experience, albeit slowly, so keeping them in roles that match their skills ensures they gain XP while contributing effectively.

For instance, if an Expert has the Eloquent trait, assigning them to lead tours not only builds their XP but also enhances visitor engagement and knowledge, creating a win-win situation.

Assistants should be placed in areas that align with their traits and talents. If an assistant excels in customer service, they shouldn't be tucked away in a marketing office. Instead, keep them on the museum floor to maximize their impact on guests and their own XP growth.

2. Train Staff Regularly

Training directly improves staff effectiveness, even though it temporarily removes them from the museum floor. While training in *Two Point Museum* doesn't directly earn XP, it opens up opportunities for future experience gains by allowing staff to progress and learn new skills or enhance existing ones.

Building a training room and scheduling regular training sessions ensures your staff can develop, leading to a more efficient workforce over time. Choosing qualifications during training that align with their job responsibilities can help them increase their XP more quickly once they return to work.

Although expeditions mean staff are away from the museum, they are an excellent way to gain XP and level up, especially when visiting areas of the map that offer higher XP rewards for certain staff members.

The cargo item “XP-dition Journal” boosts expedition XP by 15% and should be considered for every journey. If no other item is essential, using the journal can significantly enhance XP gains.

4. Keep Your Staff Happy

A happy employee is a productive one. If your staff members are unhappy, tired, or overworked, they may want to quit or take more breaks. Ensure you have the right number of staff so they aren't overworked, but also not so many that they're idle. Remember, training increases salary expectations, so keep an eye on your finances!
