Roblox
Many popular experiences are obby/PvP tests of hands
Reads3 vs 3
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Garry's Mod
Social deduction modes like TTT involve humans
Roblox
Multiplayer experiences pit you against other kids' minds
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Garry's Mod
Hidden roles and player chaos in popular modes
Roblox

Garry's Mod
Contraption building rewards systems knowledge
Roblox
Grind economies and trading reward system mastery
