Cups in this set
Each cup counts when you play it at the level shown here.
A light brew to start with. All three cups are poured at gentle levels, so this set is about settling in rather than stretching.
In this pot: a steady eye, quick hands. It opens with Ink & Word and finishes with Reaction Time.

The three cups
Cup 1: Ink & Word
Ink & Word, Easy: keeping your eye on the ink while the word pulls the other way. Forty-five seconds with 4 colours; the first card is the word ‘red’ in red ink.
Tip: On the hardest level, learn the button order in the first few seconds. It stays the same for the whole game.
Cup 2: Odd One Out
Odd One Out, Easy: searching a grid calmly for the one thing that differs. Twelve rounds on grids from 3 × 3 to 5 × 5; differences: a dot more or less ×6, a turned symbol ×4, a different shape ×2.
Tip: Sweep in rows when it does not pop out. Rows are easier to keep track of than a wandering search.
Cup 3: Reaction Time
Reaction Time, Simple: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.32 and 3.45 s.
Tip: Look at the panel, not at your finger. The change is easier to catch straight on.
