The essentials of playing Reaction Challenge
Make Reaction Challenge your next activity in the game library. Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.
Give this approach a try
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The purpose of your moves
Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The order of play
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
An example before you play
A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
