Captain's Coming is a classic group game that tests your ability to quickly respond to verbal commands. In this digital version, you'll train your verbal processing speed, choice reaction time, and impulse control.
Basic Commands (6):
- "Captain's Coming!" — Salute (Q key)
- "At Ease!" — Rest position (E key)
- "Port!" — Go left (A key)
- "Starboard!" — Go right (D key)
- "Bow!" — Go forward/front of ship (W key)
- "Stern!" — Go back/rear of ship (S key)
Extended Commands (4 additional):
- "Man Overboard!" — Rescue action (R key)
- "Scrub the Deck!" — Cleaning action (F key)
- "Climb the Rigging!" — Climbing action (T key)
- "Captain's Orders!" — Stand at attention (G key)
Fake-out Commands:
- "Steady!" / "Hold!" — Do nothing! These are traps. If you press any button, you lose a life.
Rules:
- You start with 3 lives. Wrong answers or timeouts cost 1 life.
- The game ends when you run out of lives.
- Every 5 correct answers, the speed increases.
- For fake-out commands, doing nothing (letting the timer run out) is correct!
Tips:
- Learn the nautical terms: Port=Left, Starboard=Right, Bow=Front, Stern=Back
- Use keyboard shortcuts for faster reactions on desktop
- Watch out for fake-outs — resist the urge to tap!
