Colour Clash

A fast game based on the Stroop effect. A colour word appears in a different ink, and you tap the colour of the ink, not the word. Your brain wants to read the word, which makes it harder than it sounds. You have 45 seconds.

Colour Clash

A colour word appears in a different ink. Tap the colour of the ink, not the word. 45 seconds.

How to play

  1. Press Play and read the word on screen.
  2. Tap the colour of the ink, not the colour the word names.
  3. Score as many points as you can in 45 seconds.

Tips

  • Ignore what the word says and look only at the colour.
  • A wrong tap costs a point, so slow down if you make mistakes.
  • Stay relaxed: tense players make more errors.
