Adventure + Puzzle
Games tagged both Adventure and Puzzle: 1,692 indie paid launches, 85 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Adventure + Puzzle priced $10 to $20.
The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.
Adventure + Puzzle is about level with Adventure and is about level with Puzzle: 14.1 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 15.7 in 100 for Adventure and 15.0 in 100 for Puzzle.
That is about 0.7 times the 20.5 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 327 games tagged both Adventure and Puzzle priced $10 to $20. 14.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 16.3 in 100 for Adventure-only games and 15.9 in 100 for Puzzle-only games, so the mix is about level with Adventure alone and is about level with Puzzle alone.
Both: 327 games priced $10 to $20; 14.1 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $4,650.
