How to play Tap Color
Tap Color is a free color-and-focus game you play in your browser. A color word appears, written in ink of a different color. For example, the word RED may be written in blue ink. Your brain wants to say the wrong thing, and that is the fun of it. Tap fast, and tap right.
The rule
Most of the time you tap the swatch the word names. In the word RED written in blue ink, you tap red. The label above the word tells you the rule. In later levels the rule sometimes flips to ink. Then you tap the swatch that matches the ink color, so you tap blue. Watch the label every time.
Controls
Tap a swatch. On a keyboard, press 1 to 6 to pick the swatches in the order shown, and press Enter to start a round. Under the game you can turn on color names on the swatches.
Time and points
- A round lasts 30 seconds.
- Each right answer scores at least 10 points. Quick answers score more.
- Your points are multiplied by your streak. The multiplier goes up by 1 for every 5 right answers in a row, as far as x5.
- Every 10 right answers in a row adds 2 seconds to the clock.
- A wrong answer ends your streak and takes 2 seconds off the clock.
