Reaction Grid is a fast, minimal reflex game: a cell lights up on the grid - tap it before it's gone. Simple to learn, genuinely hard to master. HOW IT WORKS A random cell activates. Hit it fast for a higher rank and bonus points; miss or hesitate and your streak breaks. Every session tracks your score, accuracy, average and best reaction time, and longest streak. SINGLE PLAYER Sharpen your reflexes and climb the ranks - from Standard Hit all the way to Perfect Hit. A full performance report after every round shows exactly how sharp you were. TWO-PLAYER DUEL (Premium) Hand one phone to a friend and go head-to-head on the same screen - split grid, one timer, one winner. No second device needed. MADE TO FIT YOU - Two visual themes: warm "Reflex Lab" and cool "Synapse" - Three grid sizes (4x4, 8x8, 16x16) - Three difficulty levels and session lengths (1 / 3 / 5 min) - Full English and Turkish support PREMIUM Reaction Grid is free to play with ads between single-player games.
