How does QUICK DRAW work in RISK IT!?
Wait while the light is red, then press SLAM the instant it turns green. The wait is random, between 1.8 and 4.4 seconds, and more than half of rounds flash yellow first as a fake-out. Pressing early, on yellow, faster than 100 ms or slower than a second launches you. Gold is 260 ms or faster.

How it plays
You stand on a plate facing a three-lamp tower. It's red. At a random moment it turns green: press SLAM (Space, click or tap anywhere) as fast as you can. Your reaction time is your score, measured in milliseconds.
In 55% of rounds the lamp flashes yellow for about a third of a second first. Yellow is not green.
What counts as a fail
| You… | Headline |
|---|---|
| Pressed while red | FLINCHED |
| Pressed on yellow | IT WAS YELLOW |
| Pressed under 100 ms after green | LUCKY GUESS? NO. |
| Didn't press within a second | TOO SLOW |
Under 100 ms is faster than human reaction, so the game treats it as a guess.
Payout
Faster pays more: 190 GUTS minus 300 for every second of reaction time, never below 40 or above 150. A 250 ms reaction pays 115; 200 ms pays 130.
