Reaction Challenge: from controls to your first round
Read the aim of Reaction Challenge, then make your first move. Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Practice beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your objective
Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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.
How your actions work
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Follow the example
A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
A useful caution
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. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
