Want to guide your playtesters on what to focus on? Here's how to provide clear game instructions:

Using the Playtesting Instructions Feature When creating your playtest:

  1. Go to the Playtest Setup step
  2. Find the "Playtesting Instructions" text box
  3. Enter your specific guidance or tasks
  4. Use the formatting tools for clarity

Pro Tip: Keep instructions clear and brief. Focus on what matters most for your testing goals.


Effective Instructions Include:

  • Specific features to explore
  • Tasks to complete
  • Areas you want feedback on
  • Any known issues to ignore

Players will see your instructions before starting their playtest session, ensuring they understand what you're looking for.
