About This Game

The screen will turn from red to green at a random moment. Click as soon as you see green — but not before, or you'll have to start again. Your best time is saved on this device so you can track improvement over multiple attempts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's considered a good reaction time?

Most healthy adults score between 200-300 milliseconds on simple visual reaction tests. Elite athletes and gamers sometimes reach the 150-180ms range with practice, though genetics play a real role too.

Does reaction time change with age or tiredness?

Yes — reaction time naturally slows with fatigue, and gradually with age, particularly after the mid-20s. Caffeine, sleep quality and even the device you're using can all measurably affect your score.

Why did my click sometimes not register a time?

If you click before the screen turns green, the test resets to prevent guessing rather than genuinely reacting to the signal — this keeps your measured score honest.
