The Arcade · typing
Find your rhythm.
Keep your nerve.
A typing race through prose, Bash and Python. Small mistakes make excellent rivals.
Browser beta

Three kinds of rhythm
English prose, Bash commands and Python code. Every player in a room gets the same text.
Practice or company
The current build supports solo practice and private friend rooms for two to twenty players. Follow the beta’s on-screen options for access.
Race the clock or the passage
The current build offers timed runs and passage races. Correct mistakes before moving on.
108 original texts
Thirty-six pieces per mode, selected from a reviewed collection. Text is not generated during a race.
