How to play Hold
- Press and hold the block.

- Release when you believe exactly 3.000 s have passed.
- Closest to perfect wins the round; your actual time is revealed after release.
Climbing tips
- Use a metronome word — "one-mississippi" at a practised pace beats raw vibes by hundreds of milliseconds.
- Breathe out slowly during the hold; adrenaline compresses your time sense and makes you release early.
- Calibrate from feedback: released at 2.7 s? Your internal second is 10% fast. Correct exactly that much.
