HOW TO PLAY • Hand the phone to your friend • Both stare at the center • COLOR FLASHES — slap the matching button first • Tap the wrong one? They get the point. • First to 10 wins. • Average match: 60 seconds. 5 GAME MODES • Colors — the classic • Shapes — match the shape, not the color • Math — solve faster than your opponent • Stroop — match the INK color, not the word • Words — tap the word that fits the category PERFECT FOR • Family game nights • Bored at the airport • Settling arguments ("rock paper scissors who?") • Crushing your kid (or letting them crush you) • Last call at the bar FEATURES • No accounts, no internet — pure pass-and-play • Color-blind mode included • Track your fastest reaction time • Streak callouts when you're on fire • Fakeouts mode for advanced players (don't tap when nothing matches!)
