The time commitment will be low – we’ll mostly just ask you to play games from home and answer a few surveys, plus make a visit to our Flatiron office location to join a user-panel. Beyond this initial beta-testing program, there will be other opportunities to help us with development and be recognized as a VIP member of our community!

Let us know if you're interested in joining! E-mail us with a little info about you (name, age, location) and what kind of games you like to play and we'll get back to you with more details. For more info about us, check out gameground.com. We're currently in a closed alpha, but will be giving permanent accounts to all participants.
