Target Tracking
Spot the highlighted target dots, watch them scatter, then pick them out of the crowd. A free attention game right in your browser.
⚡ Quick answer
Target Tracking is a free in-browser attention game where you remember which dots were marked as targets, watch them rearrange, and then tap them. It gives focused attention and visual tracking a light workout across rounds that grow harder. Your score is self-relative - you only beat your own past rounds, and it is not a medical or diagnostic test.
Key takeaways
- Memorize the target dots, watch them shuffle, then tap them.
- Free and in-browser with no sign-up; best round saved on your device.
- Trains focused attention and visual tracking - you mainly improve at the game itself.
- Self-relative scoring: beat your own past rounds, not other people.
Target Tracking is a focused-attention game. A couple of dots light up as your targets, the whole group shuffles to new spots, and then you have to tap the ones that were highlighted. Each round adds a dot, so it slowly gets trickier.
The playable game is right above. No sign-up and nothing to download - your best round is saved on your device so you always have a personal record to chase.
How to play
The game runs in the box at the top of the page. Tap Start to begin with three lives.
- A few dots briefly glow yellow - those are your targets.
- All the dots then shuffle to new positions.
- When they settle, tap the dots that were the targets.
- Each cleared round adds a dot; a wrong tap costs a life, and three misses ends the game.
No account is needed, and your best round is stored right on your device.
What it trains
This is an attention-and-tracking task: holding a few items in mind while everything around them moves.
- Keeping track of specific items among similar ones
- Visual short-term memory for positions
- Staying focused while things rearrange
As with any single game, you'll mostly get sharper at Target Tracking itself. Enjoy it as attention practice, not a measure of intelligence.
A simple strategy
Your eyes can't follow several dots at once, so lean on memory and grouping instead.
- Note the rough shape the targets form, not each dot separately.
- Pick a single corner of the board to anchor your attention.
- If you're unsure on the last dot, go with your first instinct.
The honest way to read your score
The round you reach only matters next to your own earlier games. Focus dips when you're tired or distracted, so judge your trend across several attempts rather than one result.

⚠ When to talk to a professional
Target Tracking is a casual game for fun and light attention practice only. It does not measure intelligence, diagnose attention disorders, or replace professional assessment. If you have genuine concerns about your attention or focus, please talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
