How a round goes
After the 3-2-1, your part of the screen says wait for green…, then, after a random one and a half to four seconds, it turns green and says PRESS! The first legal press takes the point and shows its reaction time.
Pressing before green is a false start, though a press in the first moment after a point counts for nothing. With two players the other player gets the point; if you both jump at once, nobody does. With three or four, you sit out the rest of that round while the others carry on.
A green nobody takes goes out after three seconds and the round starts again, with nobody scoring and nobody sitting out — an empty seat never holds the screen on PRESS!
Scoring and winning
One point per round; first to five wins. If nobody has five after a minute and a half, the most points wins, and level at the top is a tie. The wait is the game's real difficulty — sitting still with a button under your thumb is the hard part.
Tips
- Do not try to predict it. The wait is different every round.
- On the Little Kids profile a press that lands just short of green still counts.
