About Match Reactor
Match Reactor is a visual matching speed game: a target appears in the centre and you instantly find its match among the surrounding options according to the rule on screen — same colour, same shape, same quantity or same total. The whole board transforms after every answer, and fast answers charge a reactor that fires a short double-score overdrive when full.
How to play Match Reactor
- 1Read the matching rule shown above the board — it stays visible the whole time.
- 2Look at the target in the centre panel, then scan the options around it.
- 3Tap the one option that matches the target under the active rule before the timer bar empties.
- 4Fast answers charge the reactor; fill it to trigger overdrive with doubled scoring. One wrong match ends the run.
What Match Reactor trains
Match Reactor trains processing speed and selective visual attention: every board asks you to isolate one attribute — colour, shape, count or value — and ignore everything else, then commit in under a few seconds. The rule changes between boards, but it's always on screen, so the load stays on speed rather than recall.

- Read the rule first, then look at only that attribute of the target — tune the rest out.
- For SAME TOTAL boards, compute the target's total once and scan for it rather than computing every option.
- Bank your overdrive: answer quickly on easy boards so the reactor is charged when the grid grows.
