About this game
Colour Focus is a quick brain game based on the famous Stroop effect. A colour word such as BLUE appears, but it is printed in a different ink colour, such as red. Your job is to tap the ink colour as fast as you can, ignoring what the word says. It sounds easy, but your brain wants to read the word first.
You have 45 seconds per round. Easy uses three colours, Medium four, and Hard five with buttons that change places. The game shows your score, accuracy and average speed, and keeps your best score for each level. A colour-blind mode adds shapes to every colour, and the Tamil page uses Tamil colour words.
Free to play · no sign-up · no ads · your best scores are saved only on this device.
Questions
What is the Stroop effect?
When the word and its ink colour do not match, the brain takes a little longer to name the colour, because reading is automatic. This game trains you to focus on one thing and ignore the other.
Can colour-blind people play?
Yes. Turn on Colour-blind mode: each colour gets its own shape (circle, square, triangle, star, diamond) shown with the word and on the buttons, and the colours are adjusted to be easier to tell apart.
Does it work in Tamil?
Yes. On the Tamil page the colour words are in Tamil, such as சிவப்பு, நீலம் and பச்சை.
Is this a medical test?
No. It is a brain-training game for fun and focus, not a medical test.
