Registration for Playtest Zone @ UKGE 2021 is now open!

 

Registration for the Playtest Zone at the UK Games Expo 2021 is now open.

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 30th July-Sunday 1st August 2021. 

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 2021, you must register yourself and your prototype here: https://bit.ly/3wgAs55

2. (From now) 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 now) 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 2021.
 
Please register to volunteer here: https://bit.ly/3yg6qAp or express an interest on the registration form and we will contact you.
 

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 that due to the uncertainty around COVID-19 rules and regulations some details may be subject to change. Please check back here for updates.

Playtest Zone @ UK Games Expo 2021

 

***UPDATE***

***The UK Games Expo 2021 has been provisionally scheduled for the weekend of Friday 30th July, Saturday 31st July and Sunday 1st August 2021 ***

We are hoping to provide a Playtest Zone at the venue as we have in previous years.

When we get the go-ahead, which we are expecting around Monday 10th May, we will open an online form as we have in previous years for designers to register their games. Of course there may be a lot of differences for 2021, so we will try and keep you as informed as possible

We will provide more details and updates here as they are confirmed.
 
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Rob Harris via the usual contact form.
