Playtest observer desk
Catch the moment
they get stuck.
Start a clock, log what the player actually does, then take the timestamps and quotes into your debrief.
01 / Session clock
Live observation
Start the clock before logging. Pause during breaks.
02 / Review
Session timeline
Observations will appear here in order.
A better debrief
Record behavior before interpreting it.
Use Friction for a repeated attempt or a stall, Question for uncertainty, Win for a smooth or surprising success, and Quote for the player’s own words. A short description gives your team something concrete to review.
The clock records active session time. You can add a note at a paused timestamp and later edit the text without changing that timestamp. The export includes every observation regardless of the current filter.
The current session is stored in this browser where available. Use a session code and skip identifying details when sharing a debrief.
