About

Beat My Tap is a free reaction test for settling who is fastest. You tap once, and your time travels inside a link. Whoever opens it has one tap to beat you, or they lose.

How to play

Type your name and press start. The screen turns red. After a random wait it turns green: tap anywhere as fast as you can. Tapping before green counts as too soon, and no tap within five seconds of green counts as asleep. Both lose.

Then send the link. Your friend sees your name and your time, waits through the same red screen you did, and gets one tap. Faster wins. A tie loses, because you had it first.

Is it fair?

Each challenge has a random number called a seed. The seed sets how long the screen stays red, so whoever opens your link waits exactly as long as you did. The wait is between 1.5 and 4 seconds, so nobody can guess it.
