Test your game
Test every player path on real devices and run the publishing check, before the campaign starts.
Catch problems before participants do. Publish the campaign, then test every player path on real devices before the start date, and run the publishing check before you go live.
What testing before launch means
You can't open a campaign while it's a draft. Publishing makes it ready, but participants can only join from its start date — so use that window to test the full game yourself, acting as a test player. Share the participant links and production QR codes once you've confirmed everything works.
Test workflow
Open the game to test it
Once the campaign is published, open the game you want to check from Preview to generate a test link. Start on desktop, then scan the test QR code to continue on a real phone — all before the start date.
Play every outcome that matters
Run the player paths that apply to this game:
- a win
- a loss
- entered into a later draw
- limit reached or unavailable, when restrictions apply
For luck-based games, confirm the reward or draw message matches what you set up. For skill-based games, confirm the scoring, the completion state, and the message shown after the game.
Test the surrounding player journey
If the campaign uses opt-in, complete the consent step. If it uses a participation form, submit it. If the game is usually entered from a landing page, test that route as well as the direct game entry point.
Check desktop and mobile
Review layout, crop, button placement, and readability on both desktop and mobile. If the game is mainly shared through QR or social channels, test on the exact device types your audience will use most.
Confirm follow-up actions
If notifications are enabled, send at least one real test email and check the inbox and spam folder. If the reward uses redemption or coupon steps, confirm the winner journey still makes sense after the win.
Run the publishing check
Open Publish to review the publishing check. Fix every error, review the warnings, save your changes, then rerun any test paths that were affected.
