Orb Tracking

The marked orbs go invisible and scatter. Don't lose them.

How to play

  1. 1A few orbs light up — those are your targets.
  2. 2Everything turns identical and drifts around. Keep your eyes on the targets.
  3. 3When they stop, tap the ones you were tracking. One miss ends the run.

Why it works

This is multiple object tracking, the task researchers use to measure how many moving things attention can hold at once. Most adults max out around four. Because the orbs become identical, memory of position is useless — you have to keep an active grip on them the whole time.

FAQ

How many orbs can people usually track?
Around three to four moving objects is the typical ceiling for adults. Reaching level 8 here means holding four at once through a long scatter.
Any technique that helps?
Look at the middle of the group rather than chasing one orb with your eyes. Darting between targets is what makes people lose them.
