Estimates, not counts — nobody publishes real player numbers for mobile games, so these are modelled from public signals. How we work them out

Mar 24, 2016iOS

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Yarn, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on App Store. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Range 2140

No source reports a live count for this game, so this is a share of the total player base — a genre assumption rather than an observation, which is why the range is wide.

Storyline

After a can of toxic waste is dumped into a river, fish used to make cat food turns normally cute and cuddly cats into menacing decaying creatures! Cat Zombies! Now they are terrorizing the city and it’s up to our hero - Doodle, a brave little ball of yarn - to save the day.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Yarn?

We estimate that about 480 people have played Yarn — plausibly between 240 and 960. Around 24 of them play on a given day, in a range of 2 and 140. Both figures are modelled from public counts on App Store rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Yarn still active?

Yes. Yarn is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Yarn player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
