Since its inaugural edition in 2014, the ACM SIGCHI Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play (CHI PLAY) has grown to become the premier ACM SIGCHI venue for playercomputer interaction, bringing together researchers and professionals across all areas of play, games, and human-computer interaction. Since 2021, CHI PLAY has moved its publications to a journal-based model, and we are pleased to present the second issue of the Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction that contains full paper contributions from the CHI PLAY community. This issue has 40 papers that were accepted in the 2022 cycle of the CHI PLAY conference after two rounds of reviews. Thework published in this volume represents the contributions from the 2022 program committee, including external reviewers, associate chairs, and editors. Together, we have engaged in a revised reviewing process that saw several important changes compared to CHI PLAY 2021. First, we used three recommendations – “Accept with Minor Revisions”, “Revise and Resubmit”, and “Reject”, instead of the four recommendations we used in CHI PLAY 2021. The decision was made to combine the “Accept” and “Accept with Minor Revisions” categories that we used in 2021, because in practice every paper would be revised to some extent. Second, we aimed to only have a small number of papers to be classified as “Revise and Resubmit,” meaning most papers would be recommended as either “Accept with Minor Revisions” or “Reject” in the first round. This goal was identified to allow authors to get the most likely outcome for their paper back after the first round of reviews. Therefore, the “Revise and Resubmit” category was reserved for papers that would likely succeed if the recommended changes were sufficiently made within the revision cycle. This approach ensured a more manageable workload for both authors and reviewers. We would like to acknowledge the efforts that our community has made in adapting to this new process, and ensuring a rigorous reviewing process during an ongoing global pandemic, working together with the submitting authors to achieve high-quality scholarship.
