In this article, I will take you through analysing a hypothetical A/B Test conducted by a mobile game developer.
Game Overview
- The game is called Math Puzzle Game. Like other puzzles, players need to beat levels to progress.
- The game is Free to Play meaning that players can download and play the game for free but can optionally buy hints on the levels.
Description of Experiment
- An experiment (A/B Test) was run on the game, offering two different game experiences that we call A and B, group A being the control group where the experience is kept as is, and group B being the experiment group that is exposed to the new experience.
- We set the assignment process to randomly distribute players among the groups: 80% to group A (control) and 20% to group B (test).
- The experiment ran from 2017–05–04 to 2017–05–22.
Experiment Hypothesis
- The hypothesis was that the new change to the game would improve the user experience making Math Puzzle Game a better game.
