Verified panel of working game developers

Get paid to share what you know about actually making games.

Studios, publishers, and platform holders pay our panelists up to $300 per session to pressure-test pitches, tools, and titles before they ship. Pay depends on format and seniority — interviews pay more than surveys.

Open to game developers in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU. No fees, ever.

The process

How it works

Three steps. No interview prep. No commitment between studies.

01

Apply

Tell us about your role, shipped titles, and the platforms you work on. We qualify panelists by experience — not vibes.

02

Get invited

When a study matches your profile, we email you the details — format, topic, time commitment, and pay — so you can decide whether to join. No pressure, no obligation.

03

Get paid

Payment lands within a week of completion. Pick PayPal, Visa gift card, or donate to a games industry charity.

Compensation

up to$300

Per study, paid in USD equivalent. Amounts vary by format and time commitment — interviews pay more than surveys. The exact amount is always disclosed before you decide to participate.

Not in it for the money?
Donate your fee to a games-industry charity instead. Pick one when you claim your payout — your choice, every study.

How we run studies

What you can expect from us

Studies are written by people who understand game development

We screen every brief before fielding it. Questions cover real systems and real tradeoffs — not marketing copy dressed up as research.

You control your inbox

Invitations only arrive when a study matches your profile. We send one reminder, then move on. No drip campaigns, no re-engagement sequences.

Payment is a promise, not a promise to try

Payout lands within 5 business days of completion. The exact amount is shown before you accept — no surprises, no points, no store credit.

Applications take about 4 minutes. You’ll hear from us only when a study matches.
