The average visual reaction time is about 273 milliseconds. Under 250 ms is good, under 200 ms is excellent, and competitive gamers and esports athletes typically land between 160 ms and 190 ms under good conditions. Scores under 150 ms are rare and usually need high-refresh hardware.
| Reaction time | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Under 150 ms | Exceptional — near the floor of what browser hardware can even register |
| 150–200 ms | Excellent — esports-athlete territory |
| 200–250 ms | Good — clearly faster than average |
| 250–300 ms | Average — the human middle (about 273 ms) |
| 300–360 ms | Below average — often fatigue, distraction, or a slow device |
| Over 360 ms | Slow — check your device and try again rested |
A browser adds roughly 80 ms of delay nobody spent — display refresh, input polling and the browser pipeline all tax your score before your brain is even involved. A 60 Hz screen alone costs about 8 ms more than a 144 Hz one, and your own runs scatter by around 40 ms. So the comparison that holds up is you against your own history on the same device, or you against a friend on the same game with the same rules — which is exactly what a challenge link is for.
On TinyPlay your raw milliseconds convert to a 0–1000 score: the closer to a perfect reaction, the closer to 1000 points and the top score tiers.
