All RISK IT! Challenges Compared

Which RISK IT! challenge should I play?
Each of the eight challenges tests a different skill: luck (THE BUTTON), timing (PERFECT STOP), reaction (QUICK DRAW), movement (THE SWEEPER), observation (DOOR NUMBER WHO), survival (MELTDOWN), memory (COPY THAT) and aim (LONG SHOT). New players usually start with THE BUTTON; QUICK DRAW and PERFECT STOP reward practice most.

Stand still or move
Five challenges keep you in place and use the action buttons: THE BUTTON, PERFECT STOP, QUICK DRAW, COPY THAT and LONG SHOT. Three are movement challenges where you walk, run and jump: THE SWEEPER, DOOR NUMBER WHO and MELTDOWN. In those, Space stays your jump and the panel docks at the top of the screen.
