Why Play Assist Ants?
In Assist Ants, you help multiple ants reach their destinations—without letting them crash into one another. The more ants appear, the more attention you’ll need to divide across different parts of the screen. It’s a fast-paced way to engage your Divided Attention and coordination skills.
Divided Attention
Monitor multiple moving ants and guide them safely without missing a beat.
Task Coordination
Adjust timing and direction in real time as new ants enter the scene.
Visual Tracking
Keep an eye on many elements at once and anticipate potential collisions.
Assist Ants vs Other Attention Games
Unlike Attention games that ask you to spot a target or stay focused on one task, Assist Ants keeps you engaged across the entire screen. You’re managing multiple moving pieces at once—and every decision matters. It’s a uniquely spatial and dynamic take on attention and multitasking.
