Steady Hand

Trace the squiggle. Steady beats speedy.

Steady Hand is a free precision game with no speed bonus at all. Trace the wiggly line as accurately as you can and stay inside the lane. Dead centre scores 100, drifting costs you, and gamer reflexes will not help.

How to play Steady Hand

Trace the squiggle

A wiggly line appears on everyone's screen — the same one, drawn from the same course seed. Press the green ✋ dot and drag your finger (or mouse) along it all the way to the 🏁 flag. One stroke: lift your finger and it's locked in.

Steady beats speedy

There is no speed bonus. None. Crawl along at a snail's pace if you like — the clock is only there so the round eventually ends. All that counts is how close to the line you stayed and how far you got.

🎯

Stay in the lane

The pale corridor around the line is your margin. Dead-centre scores a full 100; drifting costs you, wandering out of the lane costs more, and stopping short of the flag costs the rest.

🏆

Add up the squiggles

The host picks 2, 3 or 5 squiggles, each worth up to 100. Scores land for the whole room together after every squiggle. Highest total takes the round — and gamer reflexes will not save you here.
