HAND SPEED TEST

How fast are your hands?

A free, camera-based hand speed test. Grant camera access, pump your hands up and down for 20 seconds, and see where you rank on the global leaderboard. No signup. No install needed.

The one-minute version

  1. Open /play and allow camera access when prompted.
  2. Stand 3–4 feet from the camera with both hands visible.
  3. Tap Play. You’ll get a three-second countdown.
  4. Pump both hands up and down as fast as you can for 20 seconds.
  5. Your score posts to the global leaderboard automatically.

What “hand speed” actually means here

Hand speed in 67 Speed is operational, not abstract. We measure how much vertical hand motion you can produce in 20 seconds across both wrists. Bigger movements score more than tight short ones, and very small twitches don’t score at all — so fast, full-range pumping wins, not micro-twitching.

This is distinct from fine-motor speed (typing, piano, finger reflex tests). 67 Speed measures gross motor repetition — the kind of speed you’d use to shake a can, tap a drum, or signal excitement.

How hand speed compares by age

In our leaderboard data, peak scores cluster between ages 14–28. Kids under 10 typically score 20–30 because their coordination at speed is still developing. Adults over 40 score 40–55 comfortably; highly trained adults clear 90+ at any age. The current top scores are all adults.

The practical ceiling for the 20-second format seems to be around 130 points. Past that, sustained wrist velocity runs into pure physiological limits.

Train for a higher score

  • Warm up. Two 10-second bursts before a real attempt improve scores by 10–15%.
  • Relax your shoulders. Tension slows you down. Drop your shoulders away from your ears before the countdown.
  • Find a tempo and lock it in. You can’t sprint for 20 seconds. Aim for 95% of your max and hold it.
  • Watch the counter. If it stops climbing, your range of motion has dropped below the threshold. Extend more.

FAQ

How does an online hand speed test work?
67 Speed measures hand speed by tracking your wrists through your webcam or phone camera. A machine learning model returns wrist positions in real-time. Bigger up-or-down movements score more, while very small twitches don't register at all. Fastest, fullest-range hands win.
Is this more accurate than a physical speed test?
It's comparable. Camera-based tests can't measure forces, but they measure displacement and frequency precisely. For raw pumping speed — hands moving up and down — 67 Speed's real-time tracking is a reliable proxy for hand-speed ability.
What's a normal hand speed score?
A first-time player averages 30–50 points in 20 seconds. That's roughly 1.5–2.5 pumps per second per hand. Athletes and musicians score higher on first attempt because they're used to controlled, repetitive motion. Over a dozen attempts, most players settle into a reliable personal range.
Can kids play?
Yes. There's no inappropriate content, no ads, and no data collection beyond a device ID and display name. The game is physical but low-impact — pumping your hands for 20 seconds. Parents should verify the name picked before submitting.
Does it work on a laptop?
Yes. Any laptop with a webcam and a modern browser. Performance on a MacBook or recent Windows laptop is essentially identical to a phone. Lower-end Chromebooks may drop frames.
Arm speed test vs. hand speed test — which is this?
Both. The game tracks wrists, which respond to either hand-only motion (pumping from the elbow) or full arm motion (pumping from the shoulder). Full arm motion tends to score higher because the range is bigger.
