Using Spatial Game Analytics to Analyze Player Paths Through Games

By combining pre-test and post-test measures with spatial gaming analytics, we will investigate how different player types move through a level, and how those differences can inform the design of educational games like Fair Play. Of particular interest were the differences between participants who had a high final bias compared to a low final bias, and participants who play games more than an hour a week, and those that do not. Initial analysis revealed differences in the way these groups played Fair Play.
