Run a silent playtest of Chapter 1 and record every stuck moment and smile.

Your first real player sits down. You're not allowed to say a single word. Not even 'it's over there!'

  • New skill Running a playtest in Adventure mode
  • Level 8 · Game Makers
  • Difficulty Advanced
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 30–45 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Reset every quest, put your first real player in Adventure mode and watch them play Chapter 1 in total silence. Time each section, note every stuck moment and smile, then ask a few good questions and spot the biggest problem.

Finish line: Your playtest is done, with times, stuck moments and the top problem circled.

Bonus challenge: Draw a heat map on page 2: shade each zone darker the longer players spent there. Where's the hot spot, and is it a good one?

You’ll need

  • 1–3 players who haven't seen your map
  • A timer
  • A score sheet

You choose

  • My first tester
  • My bet for the hardest part
  • My 3 after-test questions

Stuck?

  • Adventure mode stops testers breaking blocks but still lets them use chests, buttons and barrels.
  • Refill the relics and empty the altar before every new tester.
  • Hardest part: staying quiet. Write your reactions down instead of saying them.
