Thinking and planning out some Testing CoP fun games and activities for 2020.
Anyone has some suggestions on fun games and activities practising testing skills?
TestSphere comes up in the thread a lot.
Test small Test often, Marshmallow challenge, RiskStorming.
A good list of game and another list and another from Jenny Bramble.

Here is the full list really good suggestions of games from our awesome community on Twitter.
TestSphere is one I’ve found useful.
The OWASP Juice Shop is quite good. It’s a deliberately insecure app to allow people to practice security testing.
I wouldn’t say it’s a ‘game’ as such, though it does have a scoreboard of challenges within the app (to gamify your learning).

Update:
There’s also this - http://blackboxpuzzles.workroomprds.com/ which is quite interesting to go through.
Another vote for TestSphere, specifically Risk Storming.
When I trained in testing I had it explained to me via games of Carcassonne, which was somewhat successful. It’s a simple system with a variety of simple rules, but significant complexity. It definitely opened my eyes to a lot of testing concepts and principles.
