TAP!
Five rounds. Tap the moment it turns green.
How it works
Tap the pad to start. It turns red.
Wait. After a random pause it turns green.
Tap the moment it turns green. Do that 5 times to get your score.
This challenge is for fun. It isn't a medical, cognitive or fitness assessment, and the result says nothing about your health or intelligence.
Questions people ask
What's a good time?
Hair Trigger: 179 ms or less. Quick Draw: 180 to 229 ms. Right On Time: 230 to 289 ms. Cruise Control: 290 to 379 ms. Scenic Route: 380 ms or more.
Why is my time different on another device?
The number includes everything in the chain: your eye noticing the change, your brain deciding, your hand moving, and your device registering the tap. It also includes your screen and browser, which is why the same person scores differently on a laptop and a phone.
Why the middle round and not the average?
We use your middle round rather than your average, so one lucky tap or one lapse doesn't decide your score.
