We are a welcoming community of game designers and testers, active since 2010, that come together in London, Cambridge, Newcastle, Brighton, Cardiff, Leeds, Enfield, Bath, Norwich, Edinburgh and Reading to play games and test prototypes. Everyone is invited to join us and bring their own creations to try out, or just give their opinion. If game design is your thing, or you just like gaming and being creative, our group is the perfect place to get some great advice on what makes a game fun. We have monthly events happening in all the listed cities. For instance in London, we meet at The Jugged Hare on the 3rd Sunday and Monday nights of every month. We also have a daytime meeting in London, at the Royal Festival Hall, every Friday from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
