THE PLAYBOOK · GZDINGZAN
Find your footing in Reaction Challenge
Choose a round of Reaction Challenge and settle into its rules. Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
Build familiarity through play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
What counts as success
Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Put the rules into context
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Notice this detail
Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
