Reaction Challenge: what to know before playing
Reaction Challenge gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Try a more deliberate round
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

Pay attention to this rule
Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
