Train of Thought
Train of Thought
Trains in 4 colors keep arriving across 4 lanes, each lane with a colored station. Tap a train to send it to the next lane until it matches its station's color. The pace speeds up. 60 seconds.
How to Play
Trains spawn from the left in a random lane and a random color. Each lane ends in a station of one fixed color. Tap a train to advance it to the next lane (cyclic 1→2→3→4→1). When a train reaches its station, it scores a hit if its color matches the station's color, or a miss otherwise. The round lasts 60 seconds and the spawn rate plus train speed increase steadily. Score = hits × 10 − misses × 5. This task is the divided-attention drill made famous by Lumosity — research suggests sustained practice improves multitasking and attention switching.
Controls
Click or tap any train to swap it to the next lane. There are no keyboard shortcuts. Resolved trains briefly flash green (hit) or red (miss) and disappear.
Tips & Strategy
Don't fixate on a single train — sweep the whole field every second. Resolve the train closest to a station first; trains far from the right have time. If two trains in the same lane are heading toward a wrong station, deal with the front one first. Counter-intuitively, sometimes letting a clear miss happen saves you time to fix two near-misses behind it.
