The silence is the feedback. When kids are quiet and focused, you've got them. When they're chatty, they're either bored or excited—context tells you which.
Kids don't lie about games. If they're bored, you see it immediately. If they're engaged, you see that too. Best focus testers in the world.
Kid reactions are the most honest feedback you'll ever get. No politeness, no filter—just genuine engagement or disinterest.
Watching kids test games is pure gold. They don't care about your design document—they just react. That's the real feedback.
Kid testers are the ultimate truth-tellers. No filter, no politeness—just genuine reactions. Best QA department you could ask for.
The best QA is watching someone play without explaining anything. Their confusion tells you everything the bug reports won't.
