The HPA measures how you perform across memory, reasoning, observation, reading, timing, and decision-making — one standardized assessment per day, one Human Performance Score.
The HPA is a single, standardized battery of seven micro-assessments. Each one isolates a distinct cognitive faculty. Together they produce a full-spectrum snapshot — not a single trick score.
Internal chronometry — your subjective sense of how long a second lasts.
Visual observation, change detection, and the ability to hold a scene in working memory.
Short-term sequence recall and pattern retention under growing load.
Reading speed paired with real understanding of what you just read.
Fluid intelligence — pattern inference, deduction, and abstract rule discovery.
Confidence-calibrated reasoning: knowing what you know, and how sure you should be.
Cognitive throughput — how fast you can evaluate options and act correctly.
Your Human Performance Score (HPS) is a single 0–100 value that summarizes an entire day's assessment. It is designed to be stable, comparable, and hard to game.
Step 1 — Category scores. Each of the seven sections is scored against calibrated performance bands, then normalized to a 0–100 category score. Device and input differences (mouse vs. touch, refresh rate, screen size) are adjusted where they meaningfully affect the signal.
Step 2 — Weighted composite. Category scores are combined using the fixed weights below. No single section can dominate the HPS, and no section is worth zero.
Step 3 — Integrity & percentile. Assessments that fail integrity checks (impossible reactions, automated inputs, identical timing) are excluded from competitive rankings. The final HPS is also expressed as a percentile against the global daily field.
| Section | Measures | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Internal Clock | Timing | 10% |
| Observation | Attention | 15% |
| Memory | Memory | 15% |
| Flash Read | Comprehension | 15% |
| Pattern Recognition | Reasoning | 15% |
| Reason | Reasoning | 20% |
| Decision Speed | Decision | 10% |
| Total | 100% |
Weights may be refined over time as more data improves calibration (see Rule 15). Historical HPS values remain visible in your profile.
Every section of the HPA follows the same structure it does in Practice Mode. Read the rule once — you will play it every day.
Tap the button, then tap again exactly when you think the target duration has passed — no counting, no ticking along in your head. You get several rounds at different target intervals.
Internal chronometry: how accurately your brain represents the passage of short time intervals without external cues.
A scene appears for a few seconds and then briefly blacks out. When it returns, one element has changed — spot it and select it. Scenes get denser as you progress.
Visual attention, change detection, and how much of a scene you can hold in working memory at once.
A grid of nodes lights up in a sequence. Reproduce the exact order by tapping the nodes yourself. Every correct answer adds one more step to the next sequence.
Short-term memory span and the fidelity of sequential recall under increasing load.
A passage appears for a limited time, then disappears. You then answer comprehension questions about what you just read. Reading time shrinks and passages get denser as levels advance.
Reading speed combined with real comprehension — how much meaning you can extract per second of exposure.
You are shown an abstract matrix with one cell missing. Select the option that completes the underlying rule. No numeric or verbal knowledge is required.
Fluid intelligence: inferring hidden rules from a small set of examples and applying them to a novel case.
You have 55 seconds per question across ten reasoning problems. For each answer you also declare confidence — Unsure, Sure, or Certain. Higher confidence pays more when right and costs more when wrong.
Deductive and probabilistic reasoning plus calibration — knowing not just the answer, but how much you should trust yourself.
Rapid two-choice comparisons — numbers, word lengths, quick sums. You have a few seconds per question; timeouts count as wrong. Streaks of correct answers are rewarded.
Cognitive throughput: how quickly you can evaluate a simple decision correctly under time pressure.
These are the standards every official assessment is held to — for you, for everyone else, and for the leaderboard.
Every account receives one official Human Performance Assessment every 24 hours.
Only the first completed HPA counts toward Human Performance Score (HPS), weekly league rankings, global rankings, country rankings, friend rankings, daily streaks, and seasonal statistics.
Players may practice as much as they like outside of the official assessment.
No two official HPAs are identical.
Each day includes newly generated memory challenges, observation scenes, logic and reasoning questions, reading passages, pattern recognition puzzles, timing exercises, and decision-making scenarios.
Questions are selected from a large, continuously expanding pool so memorization never becomes an advantage.
Every player completes the same assessment structure: Internal Clock → Observation → Memory → Flash Read → Pattern Recognition → Reason → Decision Speed. The categories never change. Only the content changes.
Each assessment section may only be completed once — no restarting, no refreshing for a better score, no replaying individual sections. If a device unexpectedly disconnects, the assessment resumes where it left off whenever possible.
A complete HPA takes approximately 8–10 minutes. Each section has its own time limit to maintain consistency while keeping the assessment short enough to become a daily habit.
The HPA adjusts difficulty in real time. Strong performance results in more challenging questions; struggling in a section results in appropriately adjusted difficulty.
No single category determines your HPS. Example weighting: Memory 15%, Observation 15%, Flash Read 15%, Reason 20%, Pattern Recognition 15%, Decision Speed 10%, Internal Clock 10%.
The scoring model may evolve as additional validation and platform data improve the assessment.
Where appropriate, scores are adjusted to reduce hardware-related advantages — desktop vs. mobile, mouse vs. touch, screen refresh rate, screen size, input method. The goal is to compare people, not devices.
Every official HPA is monitored for unusual or suspicious activity — impossible reaction patterns, automated inputs, unrealistic completion times, repeated identical timing results, abnormal clicking or tapping behavior. Assessments that fail integrity checks may be excluded from competitive rankings.
Every completed HPA generates a single Human Performance Score (HPS) that reflects overall performance across every assessment category rather than a single skill.
Every assessment updates long-term performance metrics — today's HPS, yesterday, 7-day average, and 30-day trend. The HPA is designed to reward consistent improvement rather than isolated high scores.
After every assessment, players receive a complete breakdown of their results across each category so they can identify strengths and areas for improvement.
Only official Human Performance Assessments affect weekly league standings, promotions, demotions, seasonal rankings, career statistics, and global leaderboards. Practice sessions never affect official rankings.
Practice Mode is always available and allows players to improve individual skills, learn game mechanics, and beat personal bests. Practice Mode does not affect HPS, league rankings, global rankings, daily streaks, or seasonal statistics.
As the platform grows, scoring models may be refined to improve fairness and accuracy. Historical assessment results remain available, players are informed of meaningful scoring changes, and long-term records are preserved.
After every assessment, players receive their overall HPS, individual category scores, percentile rankings, performance trends, strengths, and areas for improvement.
A new HPA becomes available every 24 hours. Missing a day does not reduce your HPS, but it may affect daily streaks, league progress, seasonal participation, and historical consistency metrics.
