A wall of performers. One starts singing. You've got a split second to cut to the right camera before anyone else would. Ten seconds, as many cues as we can throw at you — how sharp are your reflexes?
This is genuinely a version of the job — our IMAG and vision-mixing crews watch a wall of camera feeds live and cut to whoever's performing, in real time, with no second take. Think you've got what it takes?
Hit Start. Six cameras, six performers, all idle.
One camera goes LIVE the instant its performer starts singing.
Click that camera as fast as you can. New cue roughly every second.
We built this because it's a fun way to show what actually happens behind the desk during a live show — split-second calls, made for real, every single time.
Watching every camera feed and cutting to the right one, live, is exactly what our vision engineers do on every show.
Live means live — there's no "cut, let's go again" on a real broadcast. Reflexes and reads matter.
Every game on this page was dreamt up by the same crew who run IMAG and streaming for real events.
Come and see the real thing at your next event — get in touch and we'll talk you through it.
Every correct cut earns points based on your reaction time — the faster you click the right camera after it goes live, the more points you get. Miss it, or cut to the wrong camera, and that cue scores zero.
High scores and the fastest-reaction record are saved locally in your own browser, so they'll still be there next time you visit on this device — but they're not shared with other visitors or stored on our servers.
That's the point — on a real live show, a vision mixer doesn't get to try again once they've cut to the wrong camera. One shot keeps it honest.
As many times as you like — hit "Play Again" at the end of a round, or scroll back up and hit Start Challenge again.
Anything with a reaction time under 300ms is properly quick. Under 200ms and you should probably come and work for us.
More than you'd think — this is a simplified version of what our IMAG and vision-mixing crews do live at real events. If you liked this, you'll like watching it done for real at your next show.
Our crews make calls like that live, every show. Get in touch and let's talk about your event.
