What is your Reflex Level? Check your explosiveness with a simple measurement game!
Just click the moment it lights up! A reflex test competing for 0.001 seconds. Challenge pro-gamer level speeds and exceed your limits. You can also compare with average times by age.
Are Your Reflexes Rusty?
"I used to be better at games..." "I feel like I can't grab falling objects quickly anymore..."
If you feel this way, your reflexes (reaction speed) may be gradually declining. Reflexes are important abilities related not only to sports and games but also to driving and "snap judgments" in daily life.
Why not measure your current ability with this Tool not found: reaction-time?
How to Play (Only One Rule)
- Wait: Wait when the screen is red.
- React: Tap/Click the screen (or button) the moment the screen turns green!
- Result: Your reaction speed is displayed in "milliseconds (ms)".
Challenge 5 times, and the average time becomes your score. "False starts" are penalties, so please stay calm and challenge with an aggressive attitude.

Aim to Exceed Average! Target Times by Age
Generally, the average values for simple reactions (speed to return a simple action to a stimulus like light) are said to be as follows.
| Age Group | Average Reaction Speed | Evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Teens-20s | 0.2-0.25 sec (200-250ms) | The fastest period. Under 200ms is athlete level! |
| 30s-40s | 0.25-0.3 sec (250-300ms) | Still active. Aim for 250ms. |
| 50s- | 0.3-0.4 sec (300-400ms) | Do not overdo it, emphasize accuracy. |
"Wall of 0.1 Seconds" and the World of Pro Gamers
Top pro gamers of FPS (First-Person Shooters) etc., seem to react at speeds close to 0.15 seconds (150ms). Since the physiological limit for visual information to reach the brain and commands to be transmitted to muscles is said to be about 0.1 seconds, they are truly "challenging the limits".
Tips to Train Reflexes
It is too early to give up saying "It's a natural talent, right?". It is possible to maintain and improve with training.
1. Do Not "Predict", "React"
If you try to press predicting "It might come soon...", false starts increase conversely, or you get late when the prediction is wrong. The state like "Mindfulness" where you empty your head and focus only on the visual information that 'color changes' is best.
2. Sufficient Sleep and Sugar Supply
When the brain is tired, reaction speed drops dramatically. It is not uncommon to be about 0.05-0.1 seconds slower than usual when testing in a state of lack of sleep. If you aim to update the record, sleep well and challenge after sending energy to the brain with glucose.
3. Be Conscious of Peripheral Vision
Staring too much at one point on the screen can conversely delay reaction. There are cases where you can perceive color changes faster by looking at the entire screen vaguely and widely (using peripheral vision). It is close to the feeling of sports players seeing not only the ball but the entire field.
The Rival is Yourself of Yesterday
The results of this test can be shared on SNS. It is fun to compete with friends, but the number one rival is "your past self".
Train little by little every day, "Oh, I'm in good shape today!" "Maybe I was slow because I lacked sleep yesterday" Please use it as a barometer to know your condition.
Now, what is your limit in milliseconds?
