Focus games

Four games where everything on the card is trying to distract you. The skill is ignoring what does not count.

They are based on classic attention puzzles, the Stroop colour words and the flanker arrows among them, and get harder as you keep scoring.

Questions

Is there a Stroop test game here?

Yes, Ink. A colour word is painted in a different colour and you tap the paint, not the word.

What does a focus game test?

How well you ignore the obvious but wrong answer. Each game puts a strong distraction right next to the thing that counts.
