How to play Reaction Challenge
Open Reaction Challenge, check the instructions and begin a round. Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Step by step
- Start a round and wait without clicking.
- When GO appears, click or tap the large target.
- Read your response time and start the next round.
- After five rounds, the game shows the mean time.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
