Question 1

What is ScopeFocus?

Accepted Answer

A set of 32 short games that measure attention while you play them. Each is a working version of a task from the attention literature - a continuous performance test, a Go/No-Go, a Stroop - and what it leaves behind is a record of how you answered: every hit, every miss, every response time.

Question 2

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. Play in the browser and the results are written to that browser. An account carries them between devices, and on a large screen you can sign in by scanning a QR code with a phone that is already signed in, rather than typing a password on a wall.

Question 3

How do I start?

Accepted Answer

Press Start playing and answer a few questions, or go straight to the catalogue and pick a game. Nothing has to be set up first.

Question 4

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Playing costs nothing and needs no account. The paid tiers are for teams - a roster, shared results and AI reports - and start at a free plan for up to five members.

Question 5

What are the games based on?

Accepted Answer

Established paradigms: CPT, Go/No-Go, Stroop, N-Back, Flanker, DCCS and Trail Making. Each has decades of published work behind it, which is the reason for using them rather than inventing tasks. It is worth being exact about what that buys: the paradigm is well studied, this implementation of it is not separately validated, and no claim is made that it is.

Question 6

How many games are there?

Accepted Answer

32, across the four developmental areas. The number here is counted from the code, so it is whatever actually ships.

Question 7

How long does a round take?

Accepted Answer

Between 20 seconds and 3 minutes. Most sit near the short end. A round is meant to be something you finish, not a session you schedule.

Question 8

Can I play a game again?

Accepted Answer

As many times as you like. Every round is kept, and the history is what the trend is drawn from.

Question 9

What do the scores mean?

Accepted Answer

A score runs 0 to 100 and describes that round: how accurately and how quickly you answered, combined the way that game's own definition says. It is a measurement of the round, not a measurement of you.

Question 10

Where do I rank?

Accepted Answer

Nowhere, and that is deliberate. A percentile needs a norm set - a stated number of people per age band, measured under one frozen schedule - and this product does not have one. Until it does, no percentile, no band, no "better than N% of players". The comparison you get instead is against your own earlier rounds on the same games, which is weaker and honest.

Question 11

Is this a diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

No. Training and self-tracking - not a diagnostic tool. It measures how you did at a task; it does not identify a condition, and it is not a substitute for a professional assessment.

Question 12

Can I change my own score?

Accepted Answer

Scores are computed in your browser, so in principle yes. It is worth knowing rather than hiding: the product is built for somebody tracking themselves, and the guards that exist stop you writing results against somebody else's profile, not against your own.

Question 13

What is in a report?

Accepted Answer

A reading of your own results across the dimensions you have played: what is steady, what varies, what a round-to-round trend looks like. It is generated by Google Gemini from your figures, and it is prose about your data rather than a verdict on it.

Question 14

Does my data leave the device?

Accepted Answer

In Live mode your performance figures are sent to Google to produce the report, and are not retained there beyond that. Sample mode writes a report without sending anything anywhere.

Question 15

Is a report a diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

No. The same disclaimer holds for the report as for the score: it is informational, and a qualified professional is the one who assesses anybody.

Question 16

Where is my data kept?

Accepted Answer

Your browser first. If you sign in, results also sync to an edge database so they survive a cleared browser and reach your other devices.

Question 17

Do you use cookies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and none of them are for advertising. Two are needed for the app to work at all: a session cookie if you sign in, and a cookie that proves this device owns the profiles you created on it. Microsoft Clarity, which we use to see where the interface confuses people, sets a third - that one only appears if you allow it, and the cookie control in the corner of every page takes you back to that choice at any time.

Question 18

Do you sell my data?

Accepted Answer

No. Nothing is sold, shared or rented, and there are no advertisers or data brokers. We do run interface analytics: Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights count page views and load times in aggregate and set no cookies, and Microsoft Clarity records on-screen interaction only if you allow it. None of them receives your game results or your profile.

Question 19

How do I delete everything?

Accepted Answer

Deleting your account removes what is keyed to it: your profile, the players you claimed, and every result recorded against them. Results held only in a browser go when you clear that browser's storage.

Question 20

What does it run on?

Accepted Answer

Any current browser. The layouts are checked against 39 real viewports rather than round numbers, from a folded phone through laptops and monitors to a 4K television and a 125-inch wall panel.

Question 21

Does it work on a phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and touch is the first-class input rather than an adaptation of a mouse layout. The smallest screen supported is 360 px across.

Question 22

What is TabletX?

Accepted Answer

The wall panel competition runs on: 2707 by 1647 millimetres, mounted with its top edge 1807 mm from the ground. Everything a player reaches for sits between 400 and 1220 mm, so a seven-year-old can reach the top of it and a seventy-year-old does not have to stoop for the bottom.
