Light Pods: a reaction training game
Reaction training like light-up pods: tap each green pad before it goes dark, and leave the red ones.
Try a practice roundPlay today’s fiveHow it works
Nine pads light up one at a time. Tap each green pad before it goes dark. Leave the red ones with a cross alone, because tapping one costs 400 ms. Eight greens, and one that goes dark first counts as slow.
What it measures
Light-up reaction pods are a common training tool for athletes because they combine spotting a signal, moving to it, and choosing whether to respond.
Unlike a single-signal test, you don’t know where the next light will appear, so this measures visual scanning and hand movement as well as raw reaction speed.
What’s a good score?
In Reactdle, 520 ms or faster rates Sharp, up to 700 ms is Steady, and slower is Sluggish.
Tips
- Keep your eyes on the center of the grid so every pad is in view.
- A tap on a dark pad costs a little, so don’t sweep the grid.
