Top Tips To Get Selected For A Playtest
Want to boost your chances of being selected for a Playtest? This is the article for you!
Let’s talk about how we select participants and how you can boost your chances of being selected for a Playtest!
For each Playtest, we send out an application survey and carefully handpick participants based on specific criteria. If selected, a member of our team will reach out to you directly via email - it’s that simple!
While we’d love to invite everyone if we could, we have a limited number of spaces in our Player Experience Labs. Even at-home Playtests have technical requirements, that means we have to limit the amount of Playtesters for each Playtest.
Here are our top tips for putting you in the best possible position to be selected for a Playtest:
- Sign up for as many Playtests as you’d like to participate in
- Sign up as soon as you receive the application survey
- Stay on topic if there are open-ended questions in the survey
- Be honest! We look for a wide range of players, so being genuine with your responses benefits both of us!
- Most importantly… complete your Preferences survey in your Playtesting Profile!
The Preferences survey asks for additional information about your gaming preferences, which helps us invite you to Playtests that are most relevant to you! Not only that, but it also allows us to make our emails more targeted, making sure that you only hear from us when you’re likely to be selected!
While most of your responses shouldn’t change over time, it’s good to make a habit of updating your preferences every month or so to make sure we have the correct information.
