PlayroomHow it works
Playroom is a free website with five short skill drills, the kind esports players use to warm up, dressed up in everyday Singapore life. Here is what each drill measures and how your rank is worked out.
What Playroom is
A set of quick, single-player browser drills. No download, no account, no payments, no prizes. You play, you get a rank, you screenshot it and send it to the group chat. That's it.
The five drills
- Doors Closing (reaction). Tap the moment the panel turns lime. Your score is the average of five tries in milliseconds. Lower is better.
- Chope! (aim). Hit 20 targets as they appear. Your score is the average time per target in milliseconds. Lower is better.
- Queue Rush (click speed). Tap as many times as you can in five seconds. Scored in taps per second.
- Hawker Recall (memory). Repeat a growing sequence of lit-up stalls. Your score is the longest sequence you got right.
- Kopi Order (typing). Type twelve drink orders. Scored in words per minute, where one word is five characters.
How your score is calculated
Each drill turns your best result into 0 to 100 points. Your Combine score is the average of all five, so a drill you haven't played counts as zero.
| Drill | 0 points | 100 points |
|---|---|---|
| Doors Closing | 400 ms or slower | 150 ms or faster |
| Chope! | 1,100 ms per target | 350 ms per target |
| Queue Rush | 4 taps/s | 12 taps/s |
| Hawker Recall | 3 steps | 12 steps |
| Kopi Order | 20 wpm | 100 wpm |
Anything in between scales evenly.
The ranks
| Rank | Combine score |
|---|---|
| Blur Like Sotong | 0 to 24 |
| Can Lah | 25 to 49 |
| Shiok | 50 to 74 |
| Steady Pom Pi Pi | 75 to 100 |
Ranks only show up once you have cleared all five drills. Retry any drill as often as you like; only your best result counts.
A fair warning
Your device matters. A phone screen, a laptop trackpad and a gaming mouse will give different results, and so will a slow browser. Compare with friends on similar setups if you want bragging rights to stick.
