Pixel Hunter
Precision Click Test
The ultimate precision test - find and click a 1-pixel dot somewhere on the game area. Tests visual acuity and mouse precision.

How to Play
Click Start and a tiny 1-pixel dot will appear somewhere in the game area. Find it and click it as fast as possible. The timer runs until you click the pixel. Complete 5 rounds and see your average time. The dot has subtle contrast from the background - look carefully! Move your cursor systematically across the screen.
Game Mechanics & Science
This game tests both visual acuity (the ability to resolve fine details) and mouse precision (the ability to click exactly where intended). Professional esports players often have exceptional performance in tests like this. Factors like monitor resolution, mouse DPI, and cursor precision all play a role. Your eye's ability to detect small objects depends on contrast sensitivity and attention.
Tips & Strategies
Move your cursor systematically across the screen in a grid pattern. The dot has a slight color difference from the background - it's not hidden, just very small. Zoom level affects difficulty - standard 100% zoom is optimal. A higher resolution monitor makes the task harder but tests true visual acuity. Consider adjusting your screen brightness for optimal contrast.
Frequently Asked Questions
I cannot find the pixel?
Look for a subtle color difference - the pixel is slightly lighter or darker than the background. Try adjusting screen brightness or reducing ambient light. Systematic scanning helps more than random searching.
Is a higher DPI mouse better?
Higher DPI allows finer movements, but too high can cause overshooting. 800-1600 DPI is typical for precision tasks. What matters more is consistent, controlled movement.
What is a good average time?
Under 3 seconds is excellent and indicates both sharp vision and good scanning technique. Most users average 5-10 seconds per pixel.
Does monitor size matter?
Larger monitors make the task easier as pixels appear bigger. Higher resolution monitors are harder. The game area is fixed in CSS pixels, so your monitor affects the physical size.
