How scoring works

Twenty targets appear one at a time in random positions inside the arena; the clock starts the instant each one appears and stops the instant you click it, so your run produces 20 individual times. Your score is the average of those 20 numbers — lower is better. Targets get slightly smaller with each hit, starting around 48px and shrinking down to about 29px by the 20th, so accuracy gets harder to maintain as your average improves. Clicking anywhere in the dark arena that isn't the target counts as a miss and knocks down your accuracy percentage, but a miss doesn't get logged as a time and doesn't slow your average — it only hurts the hit/miss ratio shown alongside it. Finish all 20 targets to see your average time, miss count and accuracy percentage together.

Frequently asked questions

What's a good average?

Casual mouse users typically average 450–600 ms per target across a full run of 20. Dropping under 400 ms is solidly quick, and competitive first-person-shooter players — who train flick shots and tracking daily — routinely get their average below 300 ms. Your number will also depend on target size near the end of the run, since targets shrink as you hit more of them, so later targets naturally take a bit longer to land precisely. Comparing your average across multiple attempts on the same device is more meaningful than comparing against a single global benchmark, since screen size, mouse sensitivity and display refresh rate all affect the numbers.

Mouse or trackpad?

A mouse is dramatically faster for this test — the combination of physical precision and a scroll-free flat surface lets you make small, accurate corrections that a trackpad's smaller tracking area and different friction make harder to replicate consistently. On a touchscreen, tapping can actually be competitive with a mouse at short distances, since your finger goes straight to the target without the intermediate step of moving a cursor, though it loses ground on precision as targets shrink toward the end of a run. If you're benchmarking yourself over time, stick to one input method so the comparison stays fair.

Is my best average saved?

Yes — unlike some of the other games on this site, your best average time is saved to your browser's local storage and will still be there the next time you visit on the same device. Only the single best average persists; the round-by-round breakdown (your 20 individual hit times from any given run, plus your miss count and accuracy) isn't stored anywhere and disappears once you start a new run or leave the page. If you clear your browser's site data or switch devices, your saved best resets to empty and the next completed run becomes your new baseline.
