What is Reaction?
Reaction is based on a test that scientists use to check how fast people can react. You will see a screen and you have to wait for something to happen. When it does you have to click or tap fast as you can. The game will then tell you how long it took you to react.
The goal is to react fast as you can when you see the signal. You have to wait for the signal and then you have to click or tap away. The game will keep track of how fast you’re and you can try to beat your own record.

4 Pro Strategies to Enhance Your Reflexes
You can get better at Reaction with practice and the right techniques. Here are some tips to help you improve:
- Optimize Your Physical Setup: Make sure your computer or phone is set up to work well with the game. Use a wired mouse if you can and make sure your screen is big enough to see the signal
- The “Soft Gaze” Technique: Do not stare hard at the screen. Instead look at it gently. Try to see the whole area where the signal might appear.
- Manage Your Anticipation: Try not to get too excited or tense when you are waiting for the signal. This can actually make you slower.
- Consistency Over Speed: Do not try to be the fastest all the time. Instead try to be consistent and react at the speed every time.
Did You Know? Most people can react to a signal in about 200 to 250 milliseconds. With practice you can get faster and faster. Maybe even reach 150 milliseconds.
