About Stop the Timer

Stop the Timer is a free browser timing game built and maintained by Shehroz Amin, a developer from Pakistan. The concept is simple: see a target number of seconds, start a hidden clock, and stop it as close to the target as you can. No ticking, no countdown, no visual cue — just your own internal sense of time.

What the Game Is

The site runs entirely in your browser. No app download, no account, no subscription. Open any page and start playing in seconds. Every mode — solo, multiplayer, pass-and-play, online challenge — works the same way on any device with a modern browser and an internet connection.

The game currently offers more than eight distinct modes:

• Fixed-target challenges: 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 3 seconds
• Variable modes: random target, custom target, stopwatch challenge, time stop game
• Multiplayer: pass-and-play (2–12 players, one device), online challenge (separate devices), guess the time

Languages

The game is available in 8 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Italian, Turkish, and Japanese. Each language version has its own translated interface and scoring display.

Who Made This

My name is Shehroz Amin. I’m a developer based in Pakistan. I built Stop the Timer because I enjoy games that test things people don’t normally think about — like how accurately they can feel time passing. The site is actively maintained: new blog posts go up regularly, bugs get fixed, and new features are added based on feedback.

If you have a suggestion, found something broken, or just want to tell me your best score, use the contact page. I read everything.
