Play the games.
Help us make them better.
Playtesting gives us a chance to see how our games work outside the studio. Play, experiment, find problems, challenge the systems, and tell us what worked — and what didn’t.
Getting involved is simple.
Our Discord is the central place for playtesting discussion, feedback, bug reports, updates, and finding other players.

Opt into Playtest Notifications if you want to be alerted when we’re looking for testers or have a testing update. This subscribes you to news; it does not automatically grant a tester place or a private build.
Play and tell us what happened
Discuss the game, report bugs, suggest improvements, and tell us where the experience works — or where it doesn’t.
Games being tested.
Testing opportunities and availability may change as development continues.
Grid Conflict
Test turn-based tactical battles across War, Skirmish and Crossroads, experiment with different units and strategies, and help us identify gameplay, balance, interface, and technical issues.
Grandma’s Tavern
Play through the tavern’s Pinochle-based systems and help us evaluate card play, progression, difficulty, usability, story presentation, and technical performance.
Grid Conflict’s latest documented Windows build is 3.3.2; Android testing builds are tracked separately. Grandma’s Tavern’s Android Early Access release is part of the consolidated 2.0 update. Check the studio’s current testing announcement for the platform, build and access instructions before downloading.
Tell us what happened.
For bugs, include the game, build number, platform, device, steps to reproduce, expected result and actual result. Put one issue in each report and search existing posts first. For suggestions, explain the change and why it would improve your experience.
