Reaction Challenge: how a round works
Choose a round of Reaction Challenge and settle into its rules. 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
One thing to notice as you play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen

Learn from a sample situation
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. Take a moment to compare.
Notice this detail
Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
