How to play

In Color mode, wait through the red screen, then click once or press Space when it turns green. In Direction mode, choose the shown arrow from four directions. Random mode chooses a color or direction signal for each attempt. Your average and fastest result across five attempts are shown. An early response cancels the run.

Desktop and mobile controls

On desktop, use Space or one click for a color signal, and arrow keys or one of four buttons for a direction signal. On mobile, tap the color signal once or choose the shown direction. Random mode uses the input that matches the signal. Choose manual or automatic progress between attempts.

Understanding your result

The result measures the time from seeing the visual signal to your input. Display refresh rate, device performance, and mouse or touch latency can affect it, so scores from different devices are not directly comparable.

Frequently asked questions

  • Why does an early press fail? It distinguishes a response to the signal from an anticipated press.
  • Where is my record stored? Your personal best stays on this device. To appear on the shared leaderboard, enter a nickname when prompted.
  • Is this a medical test? No. It is a simple practice activity, not a diagnostic tool.
