Sweet Spot: a timing and anticipation game
A needle sweeps across a bar, faster each time. Tap when it is right on the line.
Try a practice roundPlay today’s fiveHow it works
A needle crosses the bar once, left to right, and doesn’t come back. Tap when it’s right on the line. Three sweeps, each faster than the last; your score is how far off you were.
What it measures
This is coincidence-anticipation timing: predicting when a moving object will reach a point, the same skill as hitting a ball or catching.
Because your tap takes time to happen, you have to start it slightly before the needle arrives.
What’s a good score?
Your score is how far off the exact moment you were, so lower is better. In Reactdle, within 35 ms rates Sharp, within 80 ms is Steady, and anything further off is Sluggish.
Tips
- Follow the needle with your eyes from the start of the sweep.
- Expect each sweep to be faster than the last.
