Boss Dodge
Reports and boss emojis rain down the screen. Tap every report you see — but do NOT tap the boss. Three boss taps and you're fired. Speed increases with your score.

01 /How to Play
- Objects fall from the top of the screen in multiple lanes.
- Tap every 📋 report you see to catch it — each one scores a point.
- Do NOT tap the 👹 boss — three boss taps and the test terminates.
- Objects fall faster as your score increases.
- Survive 30 seconds and catch as many reports as possible.
02 /The Science
Selective attention under time pressure — the ability to respond to target stimuli while suppressing responses to distractors — is a core executive function mediated by the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex. This task is structurally identical to clinical go/no-go paradigms used to assess impulse control and attentional selectivity. The increasing speed manipulation places additional demands on processing efficiency, mimicking the neural load experienced under genuine time pressure in professional environments.
03 /Pro Tips
- Focus on the lower third of the screen — by the time objects reach there, you have enough information to respond.
- Use your peripheral vision to track multiple lanes simultaneously.
- The boss emoji is visually distinct — train yourself to react to its absence rather than its presence.
- At high speeds, accept that you will miss some reports — the priority is boss avoidance.
- Tap with your index finger and keep your hand centered for fastest cross-lane reach.
