Playtest 2: Your Transformative Game Design

Complete your second Playtest and Feedback Session of your nanogame with your group.

1. Remember that each playtest and feedback session should not exceed 1 hour: 45 minutes maximum for the playtest making sure you save 15 min for feedback from all participants.
2. Make sure that each student’s game gets playtested. This may require more than one video call.   
3. Come to your playtests prepared with your playtest plan and questions for feedback from your playtesters.
4. Remember to collect all feedback during the session itself, not after you leave the video conferencing session. 

Important: Do not assign “homework” to the participants after the session, such as questionnaires or interviews. All feedback should be collected in the session itself.

Note: We recommend using Gallery view in Zoom to make sure you can see all the players, especially if you plan on using in-game safety mechanics. You can also use Zoom’s built-in features, such as the X button; thumbs up and down; and chat for off-game safety communication.
