STROOP CHALLENGE – Four brain challenges, a new puzzle every day It starts with the classic Stroop test: tap the INK COLOR of each word, not what the word says. When "RED" appears in blue ink, your brain wants to read the word, and resisting that pull is the challenge. Version 2 adds three more challenges, each testing a different kind of focus: • STROOP – Tap the ink color, not the word. • FLANKER – Swipe the way the middle arrow points while the arrows around it point the other way. • GO / NO-GO – Tap fast on GO, and hold back on STOP. • SIMON EFFECT – Red means left and blue means right, even when the color shows up on the wrong side. TWO DAILY PUZZLES • Daily Stroop – The same words for everyone, every day. • Daily Mix – Three quick rounds of different challenges, new each day. Each daily keeps its own streak, with streak freezes that save a missed day. Look back on every result in the history calendar, and share your score as a grid of colored squares. YOUR BRAIN SCORE One number from 0 to 1000, built from your speed and accuracy across every challenge, with a breakdown by skill: self-control, flexibility, memory and spatial. PLAY YOUR WAY • Timed, Bonus Time and Endless modes • Easy, Normal and Hard, plus difficulty that adapts as you play • A best score for every challenge CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS • Send a challenge code so a friend plays the exact same game • Game Center leaderboards and achievements MADE FOR EVERYONE • Color blind modes for red-green and blue-yellow color blindness, with colors you can tell apart and a shape on every button • VoiceOver support and large text • Respects Reduce Motion • 5 color themes Plus a home screen widget, daily reminders and detailed stats with progress charts.

Can your brain keep up? STROOPED is a fast-paced color-matching game based on the Stroop effect, a real psychological phenomenon where your brain fights itself when a word and its color don't match. The word says RED. It's written in blue. Tap blue. Fast. Sounds simple. It isn't. CLASSIC MODE Pure speed. No distractions. Match the ink color before the timer runs out. Answer fast and earn bonus time, hesitate and it costs you. The faster you are, the longer you survive. FRENZY MODE Everything Classic has, plus chaos. - Streak multiplier: chain correct answers for 1.5x, 2x, even 3x time bonuses - Memory flash: the word vanishes after half a second. Tap from memory. - Button shuffle: every 3 questions, the buttons rearrange. Muscle memory won't save you. - Interference: the background slowly bleeds color to mess with your perception COMPETE GLOBALLY Separate Game Center leaderboards for Classic and Frenzy. See how your reaction time stacks up against the world. How strooped can you get?
