Color Match
Watch the ink, not the word
About this game
Color Match is, in practice, a Stroop test: you tap the color of the ink, ignoring the word written, even when the two pieces of information compete with each other. It's a direct exercise in selective attention.
The challenge grows slowly, at levels you choose yourself — no rush to start with the simplest one.
FAQ
What is the Stroop effect?
It's the delay the brain experiences when two pieces of information compete — like reading a word and identifying the color it's written in, when the two don't match. It's a phenomenon studied since 1935.
Why is this game harder than it looks?
Because reading is such an automatic process for the brain that it competes with the task of paying attention only to the color — even knowing the rule, the brain needs extra effort to ignore reading.
