Frequently Asked Questions

Lumos uses Gameopedia’s expert-curated database.

Each game is manually tagged across genres, features, themes, vibes, settings, and mechanics — ensuring a high-quality foundation.

We layer in additional market signals like player counts, engagement trends, and revenue estimates using publicly available sources.

Lumos cover games from all platforms, PC, Console & Mobile, along with cloud and VR games. Currently Gameopedia's database includes around 200,000 games; eventually all of these will be included in Lumos too.

We also cover unreleased games from the moment they are officially announced, so you can look up any upcoming game too and include it in your research.

No — all core game data (features, tags, classifications etc) is manually curated.

AI is only used for generating supporting insights, such as trend detection and player pattern analysis.

We deploy AI to identify meaningful patterns and surface them as actionable insights. Our AI systems transform complex datasets into digestible intelligence, eliminating the need for manual data analysis by delivering key insights prominently within the user interface. Importantly, we maintain human expertise in our core processes—all data generation and game tagging is performed by expert human game analysts, ensuring accuracy and contextual understanding.

Absolutely. The majority of Lumos data is already trusted and utilized by industry leaders including Google, Discord, and Amazon through their existing Gameopedia partnerships. This data actively influences gaming experiences for 300 million users daily. Additionally, our proprietary datasets, including our Game Vibes framework, have undergone rigorous market testing with major platform holders, receiving exceptionally positive validation from industry stakeholders.

Yes! Teams frequently use Lumos research to strengthen publisher pitches, investor decks, internal greenlight documents, and competitive positioning.

Revenue is estimated using historical data like pricing, reviews, wishlist and follower trends, and game metadata. We also use verified industry benchmarks as ground truth to train and improve our models, not to override estimates directly. This helps deliver consistent and realistic projections tailored to each game.

We transform our expert-curated metadata (genres, mechanics, themes, values) into weighted feature vectors that our proprietary machine-learning models convert into probability scores for each of the player personas. The models are retrained and refreshed periodically, so the catalogue always displays up-to-date persona insights.

Our Symbiotic Features engine analyzes millions of games to learn which datapoints (genre, theme, mechanics, etc.) most frequently appear together, scoring each pairing’s “symbiotic” strength on a 0-100 scale. The Game Uniqueness metric then highlights datapoints that occur in a title ­only once across the catalogue, surfacing what truly sets a game apart from the crowd.

Market Opportunity is a composite insight that combines three key factors:

Together, these signals help estimate how viable a genre or feature segment is for investment or creative focus.

Lumos tracks player engagement trends for each feature based on total player counts across all games that include that feature.
