How to Play
- Press "Start" and a 3-second countdown will begin.
- Keep your eyes fixed on the crosshair (+) in the center of the arena at all times.
- Arrows will briefly appear in your peripheral vision. Identify the direction using arrow keys or the on-screen buttons.
- 20 trials across 4 distance tiers (5 each). Farther distances have shorter display times.
- After all trials, a weighted score (0-100) determines your level. Farther tiers carry more weight.
Level Guide
Levels are based on a weighted score (0-100). Farther distance tiers carry higher weight.

What Is Peripheral Vision?
Peripheral vision refers to the ability to detect objects and motion outside your direct line of sight. The human visual field spans roughly 200 degrees horizontally, but only the central 2-5 degrees (the fovea) provide high-resolution detail. Peripheral vision covers everything outside this area and plays a critical role in detecting motion, avoiding hazards, and spatial awareness.
Peripheral Vision in Gaming & Esports
In FPS and competitive esports, peripheral vision directly impacts performance. Top players maintain focus on the crosshair while simultaneously detecting enemy movement at screen edges, minimap changes, and environmental cues. Training peripheral vision improves situational awareness without sacrificing aim precision, giving players a significant competitive advantage.
Tips to Improve
- Lock your gaze: Never move your eyes from the crosshair during the test. If you look at the arrow, you're using central vision, not peripheral.
- Soft focus: While fixating on the center, try to perceive the entire screen with a "soft" or relaxed focus. This helps you notice changes in the periphery.
- Practice regularly: Peripheral vision accuracy improves with repetition, especially at farther distances.
- Maintain distance: Sit 40-60cm from the screen to use your full visual field effectively.
FAQ
Q. What is an average score?
A. Most people score well on Close and Medium tiers but struggle with Far and Extreme distances. A score of 50-69 is average, while 70+ indicates strong peripheral vision.

Q. I can't see anything at the farthest distance. Is that normal?
A. Yes, completely normal. The Extreme tier shows arrows for only 400ms near the edge of your visual field. Accuracy improves significantly with practice.

Q. I keep moving my eyes. Any tips?
A. Try "gazing through" the crosshair rather than staring at it intensely. When an arrow appears, resist the urge to look at it — instead, try to "feel" the direction in your periphery.

Q. Can I play on mobile?
A. Yes, use the on-screen direction buttons. However, due to smaller screen size, we recommend a PC or tablet for the most accurate results.
