Levelling Up was a survey-based longitudinal study investigating the contexts in which individuals play in-person role-playing games and how they may serve as positive assets to psychosocial wellbeing. The impact of COVID-19 and individuals and their gaming communities was also explored. The study included 65 participants aged between 18 and 30 years across 3 data collections in the spring of 2020, 2021, and 2022, from the west of Texas in the United States of America.
