Play Colour Reaction Online Free — Solo or With Friends

How to Play

1. Pick a game type (Tap the ink, Tap the word or Switch) and a level, then press Start.
2. After a 3-2-1 countdown, a colour word appears on a card, printed in a coloured ink.
3. Below the card are big buttons, one per colour, each with its name and a small dot. Tap the right one.
4. Every tap brings up a new card straight away, whether you were right or wrong.
5. When the 30 seconds run out, your points are your score.

Rules

A correct tap earns one point. A wrong tap takes one point away (your score never drops below zero) and locks the buttons for a short moment, so tapping wildly does not help. Every player in a game gets exactly the same cards and button order, so nobody gets an easier deck.

There are three game types. In Tap the ink, you answer with the colour the letters are printed in and ignore what the word says. In Tap the word, you do the opposite: read the word and ignore the ink. In Switch, a small label above each card says INK or WORD, and it changes without warning.

The level decides how tricky the cards are. On Easy, about half the cards are printed in their own colour (GREEN in green). On Medium, three cards out of four are mismatched. On Hard, the word and ink never match, and a fifth colour, purple, joins the set.

Tips & Strategy

• Why it feels so hard. Grown-ups read so often that reading happens on its own. When the word and the ink disagree, the word jumps into your head first and you have to push it aside, which takes a fraction of a second.
• Look at one letter, not the whole word. Fixing your eyes on a single letter makes it easier to notice the ink before the word sinks in.
• Learn the button order in the first few seconds. Once your thumb knows where blue lives, you save time on every card.
• Slow and correct beats fast and wrong. A wrong tap costs you a point and a short pause, so one careful answer is worth more than two rushed guesses.
• In Switch, read the label first. Make it a habit: label, then card, then tap.
• Warm up on Easy. The matching cards on Easy let you build rhythm before you move up to Medium and Hard.

Game Modes

Solo is a 30-second score attack. Your best score is saved on this device for each level, so a Hard record stays separate from an Easy one. Score 25 on Easy, 20 on Medium or 16 on Hard to count the run as a win.

Two players on one phone turns the screen into two halves. Put the phone flat between you; the top half is turned round so the player opposite can read it. You both get the same cards at the same time, and the higher score wins.

Three to eight players on one device take turns. Each person plays the same run of cards, then passes the phone on.
