IDM Stroop Games

Six science-grounded cognitive games — and a growing set of ways to compete, stay consistent, and watch yourself improve.

In short: IDM Stroop is a bilingual cognitive testing platform with six games measuring selective attention, processing speed, inhibitory control, pattern recognition, and reasoning — plus live head-to-head competitions and a daily challenge. Every trial is scored server-side in milliseconds, and your progress is tracked across nine cognitive domains.

The six games

Selective attention

Stroop Test — Stable

Fixed speed, one mistake and you are out. Test your stamina and consistency under pressure. A classic color-word interference test with a fixed interval — how long can you last?

Processing speed

Stroop Test — Adaptive

Speed increases as you improve. Wrong answers cost points; right answers earn speed bonuses. The interval tightens every ten correct answers — chase the high score.

Visual search

Pattern Recognition

Four items appear. Three follow the same pattern, one is different. Tap the odd one before time runs out — one mistake and you're out. Fast answers earn bonus points.

Go/No-Go control

Control & Response Speed

A 40-second Go/No-Go test. Tap on green, hold back on red. Discover your mental state: Fully Awake, Groggy, Sleep Deprived, or Impaired.

Decision making

Color Crash

A fast challenge that tests your ability to understand the rule, distinguish correct options, and make precise decisions under time pressure.

Reasoning

Color Clues

Analyze the evidence, eliminate possibilities, and identify the correct suspect before time runs out. Every round tests your reasoning and attention.

Compete and stay consistent

Stroop Live — real-time competitions

Create a room, share the code, and compete head-to-head in simultaneous live rounds — against friends, colleagues, or anyone you dare to challenge.

Daily Challenge — streaks that stick

One challenge per day. Complete it to extend your streak and unlock milestone rewards — a small daily habit with compounding cognitive payoff.

Track real progress

Every game reports speed in milliseconds and accuracy per session. The Cognitive Skills Report follows your mental fitness across nine core cognitive domains, so improvement is something you can see — not something you have to believe.
