Problem

Scenario

You work on a mobile game and are running experiments on a new feature, offer, or progression change. Early results can look promising, but mobile game behavior is noisy and treatment effects can be distorted by player interactions, short-term excitement, or execution issues in the rollout.

Question

What are the main pitfalls you watch for when running experiments on a mobile game? How would you design and analyze the test so you can trust the result before shipping?

What this tests

  • Ability to identify common A/B testing pitfalls in mobile games
  • Metric selection: primary metric plus guardrails
  • Power analysis with explicit MDE
  • Choice of randomization unit and awareness of interference
