Session-count analysis of the 31-child sample, who played on average 6 sessions (range 1–17). The article presents this as evidence the game was equally engaging across age and sex; equivalence was not formally tested beyond these non-significant tests.

"We found no significant relationship between number of sessions played and age (F (16, 30) = 0.577, p = 0.854) or sex F (1, 29) = 0.171, p = 0.682), suggesting that the game was no more or less engaging to younger compared to older kids or to girls versus boys (Fig. 3)."
