Click “Become a Playtester” and fill out the registration form. It takes about 10 minutes and covers your contact details, the platforms you play on, your gaming habits, and your general availability.

You must live in Canada or the United States and be 18 or older to participate in our playtests. If you register before your 18th birthday, your profile only becomes eligible once you turn 18.

Not at all! We look for players of every level, from people who play daily to people who rarely pick up a controller, across ages, backgrounds, platforms, and abilities. Plenty of our studies specifically need players who are new to a game or genre, because that is how we find out what is confusing.

Keep your profile up to date, answer screening questionnaires quickly and honestly, and sign up for as many dates as you are genuinely available for. Accurate answers matter far more than impressive ones, because of the variety of profiles we need throughhout game development.

Yes, and please do. Your playtime, preferences, and setup are what we match studies against, so an out-of-date profile means fewer relevant invitations. Once registered, you have to sign in to your profile to update it.

Show up on time, think out loud, and be honest. Critical feedback is the single most useful thing you can give us, and there is no wrong answer. We also ask that you treat our team and the other participants with respect, in line with our code of conduct.

Yes, whatever a study offers, we state it clearly in the invitation email before you agree to take part, so you always know what to expect. The compensation is always in the form of gift cards. The value of the rewards scales with the length of the session. Short surveys are not always compensated; when they are, it is usually through a prize draw among respondents.

In the comfort and quiet of your home. Remote sessions and focus groups run online, often over Discord or Microsoft Teams, with your own setup. On-site sessions may occasionally be held at our Montreal studio, for which you’ll need to arrange and cover your own transportation. Whenever a session is on-site, the invitation will say so clearly.

Most importantly, a stable and strong internet connection. Most playtests will invite you to connect to our PC through software we provide, meaning you do not need a strong machine yourself. A headset and a microphone are mandatory. For anything else, our team will ask in the screening questionnaire.

No. Everything you see is covered by the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) you sign when you register, which means no posts, no streams, no screenshots, and no telling friends or family, even in general terms. Breaking the NDA removes you from the program and carries legal consequences. Once a game or content is announced, we will let you know what you are free to share.

No. Playtesting is voluntary and occasional. You won’t be bound by an employment contract, but will need to sign an NDA, accept BHVR Privacy Policy and Terms of Use at registration. Because fake game-tester job offers do exist, it is worth knowing that we will never ask you for payment, banking details, or passwords.
