Calling all game testers!

By Dr. Play

Hello again, YouPlayers!  During August 2009, we’re offering you the chance to become part of the game creation process: an opportunity to play, test and review a prototype of an upcoming release!

For the next two weeks, we’ll be asking for friendly, helpful and interested premium members to apply to help us!  You must be patient, open-minded and able to play at least five 'test' games a day for us: try-out our current work-in-progress, then let us know what you think! 

Simply email Dr. Play, Jessie or Angelica using the YouPlay email system or leave a comment here to apply.  A limited number of forward-thinking YouPlay premium members will be notified during the next fortnight of their acceptance into the lab!

What kind of game you want to see?  We want to know, so leave us a comment on that, too!  Stay tuned for more about the results of our experiments!

We look forward to hearing from you! 

Dr. Play

I'd like to give it a try. Would love to see more games that get us thinking - word puzzles and crosswords are great.

I also like games that get my brain "warmed up". I study most weekends, but only once I have had my fix of Calkuro,Ripple Effect and other number games. I also enjoy Mahjong. As for ideas for a new game, I'm sorry guys, you are the experts there!

I am not a paying member, but I do have a suggestion of the type of game one can have. I have a CD of about 100 or more games of patience. I enjoy many of them, and suggest you put the better know ones on your site. You may borrow my CD if you like, although I do live in Melbourne. Many of the games cannot be patented, because my mother played them when I was little. Long before even TV, let alone computers.

Hi team I'd love to be involved too, can't say that I'll be good at any of them but would love to try. I've been asking for ages for a word logic game, any chance of that happening in the foreseeable future? Cheers Deb

I would love to be a test-bunny. I have the time and would give honest feed back. New games could include Jigsaw Puzzles for all ages and some more word games like Antonyms & Synonyms. Cheers, Sugar.

Hi there, I would love to test new games for you. Some ideas for new games are hanjie/nonograms, hangman (with words or phrases), jigsaw puzzles and solitaire card games that make you think about strategy (ie not formulaic ones). Combat games could include something along the lines of battleship or tic tac toe. Hope these suggestions help. Cheers, Di

Hey there Youplay guru's. Love the site and get very 'dejected' if I don't get my daily fix. I usually play a cross section of all the game genre's each day and would be happy to test out any new ones. As I work from home 3 days a week, testing wouldn't be an issue. Thanks for a great site!

Hello there! This "old girl" would like to help - I think I am patient and open-minded enough to "have a go"!! Word (esp cryptics) and puzzle/logic games are my favourites - anything that will challenge my brain and keep it working. I agree with others that jig-saw puzzles would be a great addition.

I would love to try out something new. I love this site and spend time on it whenever I can but am always looking for something new to do. I love the crossword, number puzzles and the popcap. Some strategy games would be great. I love to get the ol' brain working!

August 10, 2009 at 3:47 PM

I would be happy to help trial new games. As for new ideas, I agree with sugar who suggested jigsaws for people of all ages would be great. Congrats on a fabulous site. A credit to all behind the scenes.
