Hire the Right Players

Choose where your players come from and describe who you need. Every session comes from a different person.

Countries and regions

Accept players from all countries or pick specific ones. Test your game in the markets where you plan to launch.

Player profile

Describe the players you need: casual or hardcore, genres they play, age group. Reject sessions that do not match.

Devices and platforms

Ask for iPhone, Android, Windows or Mac players, and for budget devices if performance matters.

One player, one session

Each worker can take your playtest only once, so every result is a real first impression.
