Methodology

1. Create the matrix A where A_i,j is how many times room i was rated above j.
2. Find the largest real eigenvalue, λ.
3. Find the corresponding eigenvector v so that Av = λv
4. This vector is the “score”. The rooms are sorted.
5. We did minor manual modifications when we thought the ranking was skewed due to fewer than 4 players having played a room, aka hidden gems.

This is a similar methodology to the one used for Top Escape Rooms Project
