Flick

How to play

Hit Start. A number appears in the middle and a target is shown above it. If the number is higher than the target, flick the card upward; if it's lower, flick it down. On a phone you swipe the card; on a computer you can tap the Higher and Lower zones or press the up and down arrow keys. Each card has a shrinking timer — answer before it empties. Your score is your streak: how many correct calls you string together before a wrong one (or a time-out) ends the run.

It gets harder as you go: the timer tightens and the two numbers drift closer together, so the calls that were obvious at the start become split-second judgements.

What's a good streak?

Tips for a longer streak

• Commit to the flick. A decisive swipe is faster than a careful one, and hesitation is what the timer punishes.
• Read both fast. Let your eye flick between the target and the number rather than lingering on either.
• Beware the close calls. When the two numbers are nearly equal, slow down a touch — that's where runs end.

Why Flick?

It's the smallest possible number decision — which of two values is bigger — turned into a reflex under pressure. That quick-compare instinct is quietly useful (it's how you sanity-check a price, a discount, a share of the bill), and stripping it down to a single swipe makes it a fast, moreish way to sharpen it.
