These seven questions explore recent play, social preferences and session fit without turning feedback into a personality score. ## Gaming Survey Players can enjoy the same game for different reasons. One wants a challenge, another wants time with friends, and another wants to explore. This SurveyLegend template connects those preferences with a specific game and a recent period so a team can choose what to investigate next. ## When to use this gaming survey Use this template with adult players of an existing game, looking back over the past 30 days. It is not a bug report or a controlled playtest of one build. SurveyLegend's article on [gaming surveys ](https://www.surveylegend.com/product-evaluation/gaming-surveys/)covers broader uses for retailers, developers and researchers; this questionnaire stays focused on player-experience priorities. **Create your gaming survey in SurveyLegend** Players can enjoy the same game for different reasons. One wants a challenge, another wants time with friends, and another wants to explore. ## 7 questions for your gaming survey All seven questions are optional. Choose one answer where choices are listed; leave an irrelevant text field blank. Respondent introduction: Think about playing the named game during the past 30 days. Every question is optional. If you have not played it in that period, choose that answer where offered and skip anything you cannot judge. Do not include player handles, account details or private messages. Try the survey ## A little feedback. A clearer picture. Explore this 7-question example at your own pace. Every question is optional.

Remove modes the game cannot support, but preserve another-way and uncertainty options. Do not treat a single main reason as a complete description of a player. Invite people through more than one appropriate channel when possible and record recruitment differences. Keep [open-ended questions ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-questions/how-to-use-open-ended-questions-on-surveys/)about a concrete moment rather than asking players to design an entire sequel. ## Printable gaming survey template Use the printable questionnaire at an adult player discussion or community feedback session. It contains the same seven questions and space for written answers. Before distributing it, tell participants where to return the form, who will review it and how it will be handled. Review paper responses separately or enter them manually through your own agreed process; they are not automatically added to online responses. ![First page of the printable Gaming Survey Template with questions and answer spaces](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-template-media/pdf-previews/gaming-template-pdf-preview.avif) [![](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide-media/icons/download-pdf.svg) Download PDF](https://www.surveylegend.com/downloads/survey-templates/gaming-survey-template.pdf) Export gaming survey template as PDF ## AI prompt for a gaming survey Build a recent-player questionnaire that keeps motivation, preferred social setting and session fit separate.

A wish for shorter sessions may matter across several player groups; it does not automatically mean people dislike the game. In his 2006 study, Nick Yee reported three overarching motivation components: “achievement, social, and immersion.” The [online game motivation study ](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17201605/)used factor analysis to develop a motivation model. This template borrows the practical idea of separating reasons for play, not its measurement instrument or scoring. It does not assign validated player types, diagnose problematic gaming or predict retention. Review comments alongside other appropriately collected evidence before selecting a change, and keep nonplayers' responses out of experience comparisons. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this the same as a video game playtest survey? No. A playtest asks about a defined build and test session. This template asks recent players what they value across ordinary play and which experience deserves further attention. ### Can the answers identify player personality types? No. The questions are original practical feedback items, not a validated personality or motivation scale. A selected reason is a response to one question, not a permanent player category. ### Should the team implement the most requested feature? Not automatically. Check how people were recruited, read the examples behind the preference, and consider feasibility and the game's purpose. A voluntary survey is not proof of market-wide demand.

[![Preview of the Celebrity Endorsements Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-template-media/previews/celebrity-endorsements-template-preview.avif) Celebrity Endorsements Survey Template Media & entertainment Show one neutral concept card to the intended adult audience. In the demo, imagine a fictional well-known performer promoting a reusable bottle; it is not an actual endorsement. Ask how familiar respondents are with the spokesperson, whether the pairing makes sense, what it says about the brand, and what worries them. A response is feedback on this concept, not evidence that anyone has signed a deal or would buy the product. Kamins and Gupta's 1994 experiment varied spokesperson type and product–spokesperson congruence. Its abstract reports more favorable believability and product attitudes under greater congruence; the authors describe the question as “the fit or congruence between image type and the product advertised.” Read the study abstract. That controlled design is not a validation of this seven-question SurveyLegend example, and its effects should not be treated as a forecast for a current campaign.](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/media-entertainment-surveys/celebrity-endorsements-template/) 4.
