central

Shoot for the Statistical Center!

Central is a fast-paced educational game where your task is to identify the correct measure of central tendency – mean, median, or mode – and launch smiley-faced Dotkins at it using twin cannons.

🔍 Each round challenges your understanding of how data behave:

• Mean: Choose the Dotkin whose size equals the average.
  → If several Dotkins have the exact average size, any of them is correct.

• Median: Sort all Dotkins by size and pick the one in the middle.
  → With an odd number of Dotkins, the median is the one at the center rank.
  → If multiple Dotkins have the same median size, any of them counts.

• Mode: Select the size that appears most often.
  → If there’s a tie for the most frequent size, any Dotkin with one of those sizes is valid.

How to play:
👉 Tap and hold one of the two cannons to aim
👉 Adjust the angle by dragging
👉 Release to shoot at the bouncing Dotkins
Use the left or right cannon depending on where your target is.

Score points by hitting the correct Dotkin – and don’t let their silly faces fool you!
