This event is for designers, who would like members of the gaming public to sit down and playtest their prototype, so that they can make improvements. It runs during the day from Friday 31st May-Sunday 2nd June 2019.
Playtest UK volunteers will be available on the day to support you and feedback forms will be available. All playtesters will be entered into a prize draw to win games.
Here is the procedure for this year:
1. (From now) If you would like to bring a game prototype to the Playtest Zone at the UK Games Expo 2019, you must register yourself and your prototype here: goo.gl/forms/4OtdK7OjWLWvePB73
2. (From 10th March) Designers who register for a 3 hour session will be contacted to give a donation to charity and when confirmed they will be given a link to reserve one session on the Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
3. (From 31st March) Designers who register for a 90 mins session will be contacted and given a link to reserve one session on the Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
In the first instance all designers will only be able to reserve one session, to give everyone a fair chance. This restriction may be relaxed nearer the UK Games Expo.
In the last few years we have been booked out before the event, so please register as quickly as possible to avoid disappointment.
4.Volunteers: The Playtest Zone wouldn't be possible without our red-shirted volunteers. Anyone who volunteers to help out for a morning or afternoon session at the Playtest Zone will get an opportunity of priority booking, a red Playtest UK t-shirt to keep and a free day ticket for the UK Games Expo 2019.
Please register to volunteer here: goo.gl/forms/MxTtF7jQQWPZJb0E2
Please note that after 10th March (3h sessions)/31st March (90mins sessions), designers should be contacted within one week of registering with details of how to reserve their space.
If you have any questions please check the UKGE FAQ tab or feel free to contact Rob Harris via the usual contact form.
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
