What is Reaction Time?
Reaction Time is the simplest game in Drinkup.buzz and one of the most tense. Your screen turns red. You stare at it. You wait.
The moment it turns green, you tap. Jump the gun and tap too early, or be too slow, and you drink. Every player is racing at the same time on their own phone.
How to play Reaction Time online
- One player opens drinkup.buzz, taps Create Game and shares the 4-digit room code (or the QR code).
- Everyone joins on their own phone. No app, no sign-up — just pick a username.
- Every screen turns red.
- Wait. Don't touch anything.
- The instant it turns green, tap.
- Too early or too slow drinks.
Drinking rules
- Tapping before green counts against you.
- Too slow also means a drink.
Tips
- Don't try to predict the green — the wait changes every time.
- Keep your thumb hovering, not resting on the screen.
How Drinkup.buzz works
Drinkup.buzz is a free multiplayer party game that runs in your phone's browser. One person creates a room, the rest of the group joins with the code, and every phone plays in sync. Between rounds a reel spins to pick the next game, so Reaction Time comes up alongside 17 other games — from trivia and reflex battles to Never Have I Ever. It's best played in groups of 4–10.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I tap too early?
Tapping while the screen is still red counts as a fail — you drink.
Is it a good game for big groups?
Yes. Everyone plays at once, so it takes the same few seconds with 3 players or 10.
Do we need to download an app?
No. Drinkup.buzz runs in any modern phone browser. Open the site, create a room, and your friends join with the code.
Can we play without alcohol?
Yes. A “drink” can be anything — soda, juice or water work just as well, and the games are just as fun.
