About this game
Ticket Window is a speed and matching game. Tickets slide along a line, each with a symbol, and you tap the numbered window that matches it before it runs out of track.
It is inspired by symbol-matching tasks used in psychology to study processing speed, which measure how quickly and accurately you can apply a simple rule over and over. The pace picks up as you improve.
How to play
- Look at the key that shows which symbol goes to which window.
- As each ticket slides in, check its symbol.
- Tap the matching window before the ticket reaches the end of the line.
Tips
- Learn the key early so you can match by memory instead of looking it up each time.
- Check the symbol before you choose the window.
- Stay calm when tickets bunch up. Handle them one at a time.
How it adapts
Kids get slower tickets and fewer windows. Teens and adults get faster tickets and more windows to keep track of. The speed adjusts to how you play.
Questions
What is processing speed?
It is how quickly you can take in simple information and respond correctly, like matching symbols or spotting a change.
Do I need to memorise the key?
It helps. The more of the key you remember, the less time you spend looking back at it.
What happens if a ticket reaches the end?
It counts as a miss, but the game carries on so you can recover.
The research behind it
Symbol-matching tasks are commonly used to study processing speed. Practice makes you quicker at this game; we do not claim wider benefits.
