MoTaverse Match
21 Apr 2026
Back in the day, at a TestBash many moons ago, we played a game called Test Match.
It was designed to help people find things they had in common. Here are the instructions.

TESTMATCH AT TESTBASH
What is TestMatch? It’s a game designed to get you to discover how much in common you have with other testers.
How do you play? Find other testers, talk to them and find out things you have in common! Ask them questions, we’re supposed to be good at that, right? And then find out something that MATCHES the two of you together.
What counts as a match? Anything goes! Be creative! It could be a piece of clothing, the same hair style, same place of birth… anything (probably) goes!
And then today, I saw another Rosie join the MoTaverse. I couldn't help but award her a star purely because we had the same name. What can I say, I'm impulsive sometimes!
After I did that, I realised we could play a match game via our Community Algorithm by creating a "We're a match!" option.
So there you have it, MoTaverse Match has been born and we can play it virtually, 24/7/365:
- Find something you have in common with someone else in the MoTaverse, it could be anything.
- Go to their MoT profile
- Click or tap on the + next to the star at the top right of their profile
- Find "We're a match!" in the drop down star reasons option
- Write a note to say how you match, and submit it!
