Reaction Time
Measure how fast you react to visual stimuli. Click when the screen changes color.
Plays
2.4M
Average
245ms
Visual reaction speed and hand-eye coordination. Measures the time between stimulus and response.
Sequence Memory
Remember and repeat increasingly complex sequences. How long can you go?
Plays
1.8M
Average
Level 8
Short-term visual memory and pattern recognition. Tests your working memory capacity.
Aim Trainer
Click targets as fast and accurately as possible. Precision under pressure.
Plays
1.5M
Average
3.2 TPS
Hand-eye coordination, precision, and rapid target acquisition. Core skill for FPS gaming.
Number Memory
Remember longer and longer number sequences. Challenge your digit span.
Plays
1.2M
Average
9 digits
Verbal working memory and digit span. Measures your ability to hold numbers in short-term memory.
Verbal Memory
Identify words you've seen before. Avoid repeating or missing words.
Plays
980K
Average
42 words
Verbal recognition memory and lexical processing. Tests your ability to remember words over time.
Chimp Test
Can you beat a chimpanzee at memory? Numbers disappear after one look.
Plays
850K
Average
6 numbers
Photographic memory and spatial recall. Based on famous tests showing chimps outperforming humans.
Typing Speed
Type as many words as possible in 60 seconds. Accuracy matters.
Plays
720K
Average
52 WPM
Typing speed, accuracy, and muscle memory. Key skill for productivity and communication.
Math Speed
Solve increasingly difficult math problems as fast as possible. Test your mental arithmetic.
Plays
450K
Average
16/20
Mental arithmetic speed and accuracy under pressure. Tests your ability to perform calculations quickly.
Hearing Test
Measure the quietest tones you can hear across six key frequencies.
Plays
650K
Average
22 dB HL
Auditory sensitivity across speech-relevant frequencies. Lower dB HL scores indicate better hearing thresholds.
Visual Acuity
Identify the direction of the gap in increasingly smaller circles.
Plays
580K
Average
20/20
Visual clarity and detail perception. Similar to the Landolt C eye chart used by optometrists.
Visual Memory
Remember the pattern of white squares. Grid size increases each level.
Plays
520K
Average
5x5 grid
Spatial memory and visual pattern recognition. Tests your ability to remember locations.
Click Speed
How many clicks can you fit into 5 seconds? Pure speed, zero strategy.
Plays
125K
Average
32 clicks
Pure motor speed and finger dexterity. Measures how quickly you can repeatedly press a button.
Stroop Test
Pick the ink color, ignore the word. Tests cognitive control under interference.
Plays
95K
Average
32 net
Selective attention and inhibitory control — your brain's ability to suppress an automatic response (reading the word) in favor of a task-relevant one (naming the ink color).
Time Estimation
Stop the clock at the right moment. No counting, no peeking — just your internal sense of time.
Plays
78K
Average
14 %
Internal time perception — how accurately your brain tracks elapsed time without external cues. Lower deviation means a more reliable internal clock.
Stop the Clock
Visible timer counting up. Stop it as close to 10.00 seconds as you can.
Plays
92K
Average
180 ms
Visual reflex precision and millisecond-level timing. Unlike Time Estimation (which hides the clock), this rewards how cleanly you can react to a number you can see ticking up.
