Do I need to talk while playtesting? If yes, in which language?

Talk During Playtests? Yes, It's Required!

• Speaking is mandatory for the qualification test and most playtests

• Detailed commentary is needed for a complete test and payment eligibility

• Check your invite email for rare exceptions when audio isn't required

• If not specified, assume you must speak

English, Please

• All communication, UI, and the qualification test must be in English

• Using other languages in the qualification test means automatic failure

• Other languages are only allowed if explicitly stated

Why Talking Matters, speaking during gameplay helps developers:

• Identify points of confusion or frustration

• Get real-time likes and dislikes

• Understand in-the-moment thoughts and choices

• Capture all important feedback

• Learn why you make certain choices in the game

• Ensure no important feedback is forgotten

Special Cases

• Sometimes we run special playtests that don't need audio

• If that's the case, we'll clearly mention it in your invite email's special instructions

Pro Tip: Keep talking for the entire recording, even if the playtest runs long! We review the complete recording.
