Experience the psychological phenomenon called "Stroop effect": Tap the colors that you read, not the ones you see. Easy enough? Read on. If, for instance, the word "blue" is written with red ink, your brain will process the ink color much faster than the written word "blue". As a result, you will want to tap red when you actually should tap blue. Go ahead and try for yourself! To top off your confusion, you will only have a limited time to make your decision. So focus and sharpen your senses, because this game will definitely get you in a rush! Compete against your friends and the rest of the world for the highest score, unlock various achievements and master the Stroop effect. This game isn't only fun, but also a great way to stay sharp while killing time.
