Q - What is the Playtest Zone @ UKGE2019?


A - The Playtest Zone has been running for 9 years at the UK Games Expo. It is open all three days of the show from 10am-6pm(4pm on Sunday) and provides a place where designers can bring their prototypes to be played by UKGE attendees

Q - How long are the playtesting sessions?

A - There are two types of playtesting sessions in the Playtest Zone. You can book a three hour session, either morning or afternoon, or there are 90 mins sessions available to be booked throughout the day. Booking sessions is done before the show by registering your game on a entry form, but there can also be places available on the day, but they go quickly.

Q - How much does it cost?

A - The 90 mins playtesting sessions are free and the three hour sessions require a £12 donation to charity.

Q - How big are the playtesting tables?

A - Most of the tables will be 180cmx60cm, but we will also have some 120cmx60cm and some circular tables with a 90cm diameter.
Q - What do I need to bring?

A - We will provide playtesters, tables and feedback forms should you require them; you will just need to bring yourself and your prototype. Help will be at hand if you need it from the red-shirted Playtest UK members.

Q - Can I send you the prototype to playtest for me?

A - You (or a proxy) will need to be present to explain the game and supervise the playtesting. This will be the best option even if you are doing a blind playtest, as it will guarantee the time that your prototype deserves.

Please note we will not be running the Speed-Dating or Networking events at this year's UKGE. Please find out more at the UK Games Expo website
