Use their feedback to choose what to investigate or improve before the next test. A player who struggled with the controls may describe a level as difficult even when the intended challenge is appropriate. Review those experiences separately before deciding what to change. ## When to use this video game survey Game development and playtesting teams can use this questionnaire after a named build, platform, and task. It collects players' accounts of the session, complementing observation and bug reports. It does not replace telemetry or predict market demand. Build your playtest questionnaire in SurveyLegend. For recent play habits and motivations rather than one test session, use the [gaming survey ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/media-entertainment-surveys/gaming-template/). **Create your video game playtest survey in SurveyLegend** A player who struggled with the controls may describe a level as difficult even when the intended challenge is appropriate. Review those experiences separately before deciding what to change. ## 7 questions for your video game survey Think about the playtest session you just completed. Every question is optional.

You’ve tried the template from the respondent’s side. Make it your own with SurveyLegend. [Create your own survey](https://www.surveylegend.com/register/) Checking submission availability… This is a demo. We count starts and submissions only. Your answers stay in your browser and are never sent or saved. **—**Starts **—**Submissions Activity is temporarily unavailable. ## Customize the questions for your setting Keep each collection tied to one identifiable build and task. Retain the non-social answer for sessions without interaction. If a game deliberately limits player choice, interpret that answer in the context of the design rather than assuming maximum freedom is always better. Check for [leading questions ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-questions/leading-questions/)that describe a feature as exciting or intuitive before players assess it. ## Use a printable video game survey template Offer the blank questionnaire immediately after a supervised playtest for people who prefer paper or cannot answer online. Explain where completed forms should be returned and who will review them. Handwritten replies need separate manual handling; they are not automatically added to online results. ![First page of the printable Video Game Playtest Survey Template with questions and answer spaces](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-template-media/pdf-previews/video-game-template-pdf-preview.avif) [Download Video Game Survey Template (PDF)](https://www.surveylegend.com/downloads/survey-templates/video-game-playtest-survey-template.pdf) Export Use a printable video game survey template as PDF ## Create your video game survey with AI Copy the complete prompt below, register for a free SurveyLegend account, and paste it into SurveyLegend’s AI survey creation tool.

Compare new and familiar players cautiously, particularly in small playtests. Use descriptions of specific moments to guide a follow-up session. Reproducing a bug still requires the relevant steps and technical information through your team's reporting process. Group [open-ended data ](https://www.surveylegend.com/how-to-analyze-survey-results/open-ended-data/)around the actual gameplay moment described rather than only labeling comments positive or negative. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this a bug report form? No. It captures the playtest experience. Use a separate reporting process for reproducible errors and the technical details needed to investigate them. ### Can a single-player game use it? Yes. Keep the no-interaction option, or adapt that question consistently for the intended single-player task before collecting responses. ### Can the answers predict sales? No. A playtest sample and this questionnaire do not measure market size, purchase behavior or future revenue. Media & Entertainment Survey Templates 1.

[![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.
