⚡ Play Reflex with friends

Playing with friends usually dies in logistics: everyone install this, add each other, be online at nine. The blocks.pw way deletes all of it — you play Reflex first, then send a link. Whoever opens it faces your exact score, whenever they get to it. The duel closes itself and announces the loser.

The challenge-link flow

  1. Open blocks.pw/new and play your best-of-5 (Reflex may land among the shuffled mini-games — every duel mixes skills).
  2. Send the generated link anywhere: WhatsApp, Discord, iMessage, a group chat that needs stirring up.
  3. Your friend taps it and plays the same sequence against your recorded rounds — no install, no signup.
  4. The scoreboard settles it and the rematch button keeps it going.

Async is the point: you at lunch, them at midnight, duel still valid. One link also works on a whole group — everyone who opens it plays against you, turning one message into a tournament.

Making it a rivalry

The best friend-duels have stakes and receipts. Post the result screenshot in the group chat. Run a weekly best-of-three. Loser handles the coffee run. Since Reflex tests pure reaction time, excuses will be creative — "my screen lagged" is the new "I wasn't trying" — which is exactly why the numbers on the scoreboard matter. For context-specific formats, see 1v1 games over WhatsApp or quick games over Discord.

How to play Reflex

  1. A block appears red. Both players wait — fingers hovering, nerves fraying.
  2. After a randomised delay it snaps to green. Tap immediately.
  3. Your time is measured in milliseconds from the colour change to your tap.
  4. Tap while it's still red and you forfeit the round — anticipation is the cardinal sin.

Frequently asked questions

Do my friends need the app or an account?

Neither — the challenge link opens in their browser and the duel starts immediately. That's the whole trick: zero setup on their side.

Do we need to be online at the same time?

No. Duels are asynchronous — you play now, they play whenever, and the result closes automatically.

Can more than one friend play my link?

Yes — every person who opens it plays against your score. One link can take on the whole group chat.
