Lights Out: Reaction Time Game

Five red lights. One satisfying blackout. How fast are you really? Lights Out is the ultimate reaction time test and reflex training game — inspired by real Formula 1 race starts. Five game modes, global leaderboards, and a new daily challenge every day. Free to play on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. The lights build one by one. You hold your nerve. The second they vanish — you tap. Millisecond precision. No luck, just reflexes. It's way more addictive than it sounds. LAUNCH TIMER — THE CLASSIC F1 START Five pairs of red lights climb the gantry, there's a random hold… then blackout. Tap too early and it's a false start — just like on the real grid. Every run shows how your reaction time compares to actual F1 drivers. Can you beat Bottas? PIT LANE — DAILY CHALLENGE A new challenge drops every day. A spinning wheel picks today's target tire color. Tap matching tires as they fall — dodge the rest. Three strikes and you're out. Everyone worldwide gets the same pattern, so it's a true daily competition. Each tire has a unique shape for colorblind accessibility. REACTION GRID — SPEED AND ACCURACY TRAINING A 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 grid that tests your hand-eye coordination under pressure. Go untimed for precision practice or timed to see how many targets you can hit in 10 seconds. Tracks accuracy, streaks, and misses — perfect for brain training. AR MODE — AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE Place a full 3D starting gantry on any real surface using your camera. Pinch to resize, walk around it, race against it. Smoke, embers, fireworks. It's ridiculous and it's real. TWO PLAYER — LOCAL MULTIPLAYER Same device, same lights, same pressure. A split-screen reflex showdown — find out who actually has faster reflexes instead of just arguing about it. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every clean run gets logged. Daily streaks, personal bests, global Game Center leaderboards with weekly resets, and 13 achievements to unlock. Detailed analytics show your improvement over time. Sub 200ms is where it gets serious. MAKE IT YOURS 10 F1 team-inspired themes — each with unique colors, gradients, and personality. 5 visual styles that transform the entire app: cyberpunk neon, retro synthwave, hand-drawn sketch, leather skeuomorphic, and crayola playful. Plus swappable app icons, dark mode, emoji avatars, and a home screen widget showing your fastest time. TRAIN YOUR REFLEXES FOR REAL This isn't just a game — it's a reflex test used by athletes, gamers, and cognitive training professionals. Reaction drills improve focus, hand-eye coordination, and processing speed. Average human reaction time is around 250ms. Think you can beat it? HOW FAST ARE THE PROS?
