PlaytestNW Seattle-based Designers
PlaytestNW is a Seattle-based collective offering welcoming and supportive events where game designers can playtest their games. Below are some published games that have been playtested at our events! https://playtestnw.com/
Player Lair: Professional Playtesting
Here at the Player Lair we play and test games daily both in-person and online. We think a game can and should become the best possible version of the great idea you envisioned when you first dreamed it up! We do our best to make that happen! https://playerlair.net/playtesting-and-design-consultations/
Tabletop Game Playtesters Guild
About this group: This group exists to help game designers and playtesters connect, and to share other play testing-related resources. It is open to all game designers and publishers looking for playtesters as well as anyone interested in playtesting new games. https://www.facebook.com/groups/BoardGamePlaytestersGuild/

Hero Academy
Board Game Testing: After reading the rulebook and understanding the game, we start to play. The whole session is recorded so you can see real-play-time emotions and play through. The playtests are usually carried out through Tabletop Simulator. If you need help with getting your game on the platform, the Player Lair team may also help you with that as well. There is also the possibility of making a prototype or sending a print and play version. https://herotime1.com/academy/design/board-game-testing/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=24098678361&gbraid=0AAAAAqZ0gO53UNL1bipQHW5ca2Nbq5B_f&gclid=CjwKCAjw25fWBhAVEiwAMopNjsKj5BNLnvYR1vQQIyoSRqBumaYIZbmxTvXzmUoeQk31kpiZrpXcxhoCed4QAvD_BwE
