A full playthrough involves a comprehensive assessment of your entire game, from start to finish. The aim is to evaluate all aspects of the game, including gameplay, narrative flow and technical execution. This research approach is more in-depth than other playtesting methods, which may focus only on specific elements or stages of the game.
You can discover the unique insights revealed by the full playthrough study in our in-depth article.
The pricing for your project will depend on various factors, including your game's length, the number of players required, the option for an in-depth UX report from our experienced research team, and other service preferences requested.

We prioritize security to prevent leaks before your game's full release. Therefore, we have implemented a series of robust security protocols in our playtesting environment which include:
These measures ensure you receive valuable research insights while upholding the highest level of security and confidentiality for your game!
Absolutely! After recruitment, players are invited to a private Discord server created exclusively for your study. Your team members are also welcome to join this server to observe all player interactions directly.
This setup provides you with real-time access to common player questions, concerns and valuable feedback, which can be instrumental in refining your game!
In our recruitment process, we proactively invite additional players as backups to account for potential no-shows or dropouts. For instance, if your study requires 10 participants, we'll invite 15 players, ensuring you receive the desired number of player feedback!
Certainly! Gathering insights from players who didn't complete or enjoy your game is as vital as feedback from those who did. We can offer a separate survey or arrange in-depth interviews to explore reasons behind the incomplete playthroughs. This approach helps identify issues like unclear instructions, complex mechanics or other critical factors impacting player experience
The duration of a study varies depending on your game's length and complexity. We manage the process end-to-end, coordinating with players and dealing with all the logistical aspects of the project. Your assigned UX Researcher will provide consistent updates throughout the study, ensuring you're informed at every stage!
