Reading the Numbers

A few rules decide how Game Analytics counts. Knowing them helps you read the figures correctly.

Who Is Counted

Figures are for one game version at a time, and for the players the filter bar selects.
The design team (the game's owner and designers) is left out unless you include it.
Players of abandoned instances are left out unless you include them; players of terminated instances always are.
If the game requires consent, players without it are left out. Each panel says how many players were left out, and why.

A pass counts. A player who failed a question and then answered it correctly counts as correct.
Only graded questions have a correct answer. A question with no correct answer in its design (e.g. a survey question) gets no correct/incorrect figures and no difficulty.
Empty answers are skipped, not answered, and option shares are computed over the players who chose something.
Difficulty is the share of players who answered correctly: 0.9 means an easy question, 0.3 a hard one.
Quiz scores count only players who completed the quiz: an unfinished attempt is not a low score.
Discrimination tells you whether a question separates strong players from weak ones. It compares how the top 27% of players (by quiz score) and the bottom 27% did on the question: close to 1, the strong players got it right and the weak ones did not; around 0, it makes no difference; below 0, weak players did better, which usually means the question is misleading or its correct answer is wrong. It needs at least 5 scored players, and it is unreliable for small groups.

Times are measured on each player's device clock, from their first recorded action in the game.
Figures such as time to reach and time spent are medians: half the players took less, half took more. Medians are not thrown off by a player who left the phone on a bench for an hour.
The game keeps only the latest record of each element (e.g. the last time a player entered a scene), so an element a player came back to is timed at the return.

Figures are computed when you open a panel, from the players' current game states, and cached briefly. Refresh recomputes them.
