Playtest UK @ Dragonmeet 2023 - Booking Open!

Saturday 2nd December 2023

Playtest UK will be returning to Dragonmeet to run the Playtest Zone. Check out the www.dragonmeet.co.uk website for more details.

Dragonmeet takes place at the Novotel Hotel Hammersmith, London W6 8DR. We will be playtesting from 10am until 5pm in the Main Hall.

This will be a public playtesting event for card games, board games, digital game prototypes. If you are a games designer, this is a perfect opportunity to play your game with the great gaming public and receive more feedback in a day than you usually would in a month.
There will be a prize draw for playtesters that sit down to play a prototype.

If you would like to bring along a game design to be playtested please RSVP to the meetup page: https://bit.ly/3SDg0dg

then, register your game beforehand using the website contact form:

After you have registered you will be contacted by email with details of how to book your playtesting space, within a couple of days and on a first-come-first served basis.

Please note that we have limited space at this year's show so registration does not guarantee a booking in the Playtest Zone.

Transport: I would advise against driving as parking in this area of London is very expensive, but the venue is a short walk from Hammersmith and Baron's Court rail and tube stations, which are on the District and Piccadilly lines.

Registration for the Playtest Zone at the UK Games Expo 2023 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 2nd to Sunday 4th June 2023. 

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 a game prize.

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 2023, you must register yourself and your prototype here: https://bit.ly/3KDqQfn

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 2nd April) 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 2023.
