Your guide to 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. Use the example below to understand a decision. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
A small practice goal
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What counts as success
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. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Making your moves
- 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.
Using the playing area
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example before you play
A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
A mistake to avoid
Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
