Scitch for the press

Scitch is a live reaction game for smartphones in which up to 24 players compete at the same time in fast mini-modes – the slowest are knocked out, and the last two play the final.

Scitch is the reaction game for quick breaks: a full lobby, random mini-modes, three lives. Everyone gets the same balls, words and timings – only your own reaction counts. After each round the slowest are knocked out, until the last two face off in the final. With Scitch Live it becomes an event for teams, streams and parties: create a lobby, show the QR code, and up to 50 people play along right in the browser.

Scitch is a live reaction game for iPhone and Android, developed in Vienna. Up to 24 players compete at the same time; every round brings one of six mini-modes – from "Color Hunt" and "Word Trap", where the color of the ink counts instead of the word, to "Green Light", where a single early tap costs a life. Three mistakes or finishing among the slowest 20 percent and you are out. The last two play a best-of-3 final while everyone else watches and picks the winner.

To keep things fair, the server measures every reaction itself and checks it for plausibility. Besides quick matches there is Ranked with seasons and ranks from Bronze to Diamond, a daily challenge with the same board for everyone, and a level map with 130 levels for practice.

Scitch Live turns the game into a group experience on the big screen: hosts create a lobby for up to 50 people, show a QR code, and participants join in the browser without an app or account – perfect for team events, streams, parties and classrooms. Scitch is free to play; only optional cosmetic content can be bought, never gameplay advantages.
