The 2-Second Witness

You have 2 seconds. What did you see?

The 2-Second Witness is a rapid-fire cognitive training game built on the Stroop Effect -- the psychological phenomenon where your brain fights itself when information conflicts.

Each round, you enter a scenario. You see a briefing. A flash word primes your brain. Then the witness moment hits -- and you have just 2 seconds to process what you saw and identify the truth from four choices.

Your instincts will betray you. Your assumptions will trick you. The game is designed to exploit the gap between what you think you saw and what was actually there.

HOW IT WORKS

Read the briefing -- context for what you are about to witness
See the flash -- a priming word designed to mislead your brain
The witness moment -- the critical detail appears for 2 seconds
Identify -- pick the correct answer from 4 choices before time runs out
