How to play Tap Rush
The timer starts at thirty seconds. Nine pads sit in a grid; one lights up at a time.
Tap the lit pad, or press the matching number key 1–9. A correct tap scores a point and lights the next pad.
Every eight correct taps in a row adds a point to your next hit. A wrong pad or a faded target resets the streak, but the clock keeps running.
When the timer reaches zero, your score is saved on this device. Play again to beat your best.
Tips for a better run
- Keep your thumb near the center of the grid; the next pad is usually one short move away.
- The target fades faster as your score climbs. Take the easy tap instead of chasing the perfect one.
- If you miss, reset your eyes to the whole grid instead of the last pad you tapped.
Good for
A thirty-second reset between tasks, or a quick score chase when you only have one hand free.
