Tech Events by Playtest UK Games Meetup Group

A daytime playtesting session for game designers run by Playtest UK at Excelsior! in Broadmead. Three 90-minute slots across the day, with designers allocated to slots on the day rather than in advance. Board games, card games and puzzle games are all in scope as long as a session fits inside 90 minutes, and playtesters who do not have a game of their own are welcome. Anyone bringing a game is asked to stay long enough to test at least one other. Adults only, free, hosted by Jo Kelly and Harriet Cody. Schedule: 10:30 arrivals, playtest slots at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00, close 16:30.

If you've designed a game, bring it along and give it a play or just enjoy playing other people's prototypes in a friendly and constructive atmosphere. If you would like to bring along a new design, contact Rob Harris (Organiser) and we will add your game to the list.

Welcome to London 2-player Playtests, a friendly meetup open to everyone interested in playing 2-player or solo games. You don't need to bring a game - we always love to have new playtesters! For designers: Whether your game is for TWO PLAYERS, a SOLO experience, or a larger game you’d like to test with fewer players, this event is for you!

We playtest all sorts of tabletop games - strategic, silly, creative, or whatever (but not video games). Some games are almost done. Some are very early ideas. We test anything that will fit into 90 minutes.

This is an inclusive and welcoming meetup. The core of this meetup is to foster a collaborative environment where participants playtest board games and offer constructive feedback to fellow designers.

This is an inclusive and welcoming meetup. The core of this meetup is to foster a collaborative environment where participants playtest board games and offer constructive feedback to fellow designers. Bringing a design or prototype is not a requirement, this event is for anyone passionate about games—whether they're a designer, developer, playtester, or simply someone who loves engaging with creative ideas. No prior experience is necessary. Location: Exact location within the National Theatre is shared 10-15 mins before the event, depending on the availability of the seating.

All-day playtesting for game designers — bring a board, card or puzzle game at any stage and get it tested in 90-minute slots. Playtesters without a game are just as welcome.
