How to play Reaction Challenge
Bring your attention to one round of Reaction Challenge. 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. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. 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. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
