Roblox Analytics Instrumentation

Goal

Measure whether the game is fun, understandable, and profitable. Instrument the core loop before optimizing it.

Core Events

Track:

• Session start, spawn complete, and first playable action.
• Tutorial step shown, completed, skipped, or abandoned.
• Core loop start, success, fail, and reward claim.
• Currency earned, spent, purchased, and sunk.
• Upgrade viewed, purchased, unaffordable, and equipped.
• Quest accepted, progressed, completed, abandoned, and claimed.
• Social invite, party join, group join, trade started, trade completed.
• Shop opened, product viewed, purchase attempted, purchase completed.
• Death, retry, teleport, zone unlock, level up, prestige, and churn-risk exits.

Funnel Checks

Prioritize:

• First action within 10-30 seconds.
• First reward within the first loop.
• First upgrade or meaningful progress in session one.
• Day 1, Day 3, and Day 7 return hooks.
• Mobile-specific control or UI friction.

Event Design

• Use stable event names and versioned payloads.
• Include player segment, platform, session age, current zone, level, and economy state when useful.
• Avoid sending personally sensitive or noisy data.
• Log server-authoritative economy and purchase events from the server.
• Keep high-frequency events sampled or aggregated.

Output

Return:

• KPI goals.
• Event list and payload fields.
• Funnel questions each event answers.
• Server/client ownership.
• Validation plan after implementation.
