1. 1

2. 2

   Press Start Round. The countdown prepares you, then the visible numbers disappear and timing begins.

3. 3
   Stop or submit

   Press Stop at the target moment, or type the number of seconds you believe passed and press Submit.

4. 4
   Read the result

   Timelo shows the measured duration, target or estimate, your exact error and the score for the round.

How scoring works

A perfect result is worth 1,000 points. Your score falls as the absolute difference between your answer and the target increases. The current game uses short targets and a two-second scoring window: an error of two seconds or more scores zero. Leaderboards rank the smallest error first, then use score as the tie-breaker.

Daily Challenge

Tick Play today’s ranked challenge before starting. Players in the same mode receive the same daily target, and one completed attempt per device can appear on today’s leaderboard.

Play with friends

Open Play with friends, enter your name and create a room. Share the six-character code or invitation link with up to seven friends. The host starts a five-round match, everyone plays the same timing mode and the final table compares total points and error.

Timing tips

• Let the 3-2-1 countdown establish a rhythm before the hidden clock starts.
• Count steadily, but avoid speeding up as the target approaches.
• In Guess Hidden Time, enter seconds with up to three decimal places, such as 7.425.
• Use the result error, not only the verdict, to adjust your next attempt.
