How to: Get invites

The basics

As long as the demographics on your profile suit a game developer's game and their target audience, you will be shortlisted for their playtest. On top of having the desired demographics, most playtests will also require you to complete a screener survey beforehand. This is to ensure that you have the relevant gaming experience or background needed.

As the first step of being invited depends on your profile, make sure that you keep it updated!

When to update your profile

It's important that you keep your profile updated and correct, adding any games that you're currently playing and removing any that you're no longer playing. Screeners will ask you about any previous, relevant gaming experience, so don't worry about removing any - keeping it current is most important here.

Also, make sure that you remove devices you're no longer using so that we only send you playtest invites that you're able to complete.

All of this will optimize your profile for playtests!

The invite itself

When we invite you to a playtest, you'll find a link for the game in the email we send. This will be alongside everything else you need to know about the test, such as how long you need to record for and what the reward will be.

Testers do not have an account that they can sign into, only a profile, so everything is communicated via email.
