I built HireVueGames for the few stressful days before a game-based assessment
Game-based assessments create an unusual problem: candidates are asked to perform under time pressure, but many have little clarity about the rules, controls, or pacing before the assessment begins.
I built HireVueGames to give candidates a place to practice those mechanics beforehand.
It is an independent, unofficial practice platform—not HireVue, not affiliated with or endorsed by HireVue, and not a source of official questions or scores. The product offers free interactive demos, guided practice, timed mock tests, and private practice feedback across common game formats.
The motivation is simple: an unfamiliar interface can cause avoidable mistakes before a candidate gets the chance to demonstrate their reasoning. Practice can make the format less surprising, while the employer’s invitation and instructions remain the authority for the real assessment.
The product is live and currently at $100 MRR. I am still early, so I am learning which preparation moments matter most: understanding the rules, managing time, or staying consistent when the clock is running.
If you were building for a short, high-pressure customer journey, what would you show first to earn trust without overpromising?
I’m building this in public and would value blunt feedback.
