An introduction to playing Reaction Challenge
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. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Take a closer look while playing
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
What you are aiming for

A useful example
A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
Notice this detail
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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
