How do you win PERFECT STOP in RISK IT!?
Stop the needle inside the green zone in all three rounds. The zone shrinks and the needle speeds up each round. Landing in the gold centre band scores a PERFECT, and perfects decide your medal: one for silver, two or more for gold. Miss once and the board's boxing glove punches you off.

How it plays
A meter on the board in front of you, mirrored on your screen, has a green zone with a gold centre band. A white needle sweeps back and forth across it. Press STOP (Space, click or tap anywhere) to freeze it. Each round the zone moves, gets narrower, and the needle gets faster.
| Round | Zone width | Needle speed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 24% | 0.85 per second |
| 2 | 16% | 1.2 per second |
| 3 | 10% | 1.6 per second |
You have about six seconds per round. Not pressing at all counts as a miss.
Tips
- Press slightly before the needle reaches the zone. Your reaction time is part of the shot.
- In round 3 the zone is a tenth of the bar and the needle crosses it in under a tenth of a second. Wait for a sweep where you feel the rhythm.
- Your press is judged on the server using the moment you pressed, with a small allowance for your connection.
The fail
A spring-loaded red boxing glove shoots out of the board and punches you back toward the hub. Headlines include BONKED and RIGHT HOOK.
