Playtest Thursday is a weekly gathering where game makers bring their work-in-progress games and get feedback from fellow creators. It is run by the NYU Game Center, and no game is too early in development: board games, digital games, VR projects, new sports, anything is welcome. Attendees can set up their game on any table or join an open game and start testing. Current NYU students, faculty, and staff may attend in person, while external guests sign up ahead of time through a visitor request form.
