What is Stop The Time?
Stop The Time is a 2-player reaction and timing game. Each round a target time is shown — for example 07:43. A timer starts counting up but the display immediately scrambles to hide the actual time. Your job is to tap Stop as close to the target time as possible.
The player whose stop time is closest to the target wins the round. The match is best of 5 rounds — first to win 3 rounds takes the match. It sounds simple but the scrambled display makes it surprisingly difficult to judge the exact moment to stop.
Tips & Strategy
Since the display scrambles you can't read the time directly — you have to count internally. Try counting seconds in your head from the moment the timer starts. With practice you'll develop a feel for timing that lets you stop consistently close to the target. Shorter target times are easier to nail than longer ones.
