The simplest approach to moderated research

Fill in the gaps and get the answers you need.

Surveys and self-guided playtests are great for gathering baseline data. But if you find yourself asking “I wonder why they did that?” when reviewing recordings, it’s time for a moderated playtest.

Observe your players in real-time, pause and ask questions, and gather meaningful insights from a player excited to share feedback.

“Moderated Playtests are an essential part of our research. Being able to ask why a player took one path over another helps us build a better FTUE!”
