# Type Race - Multiplayer Typing Speed Competition

**Type faster than everyone in the room**

Type Race is a real-time typing speed competition where all players type the same passage as fast and accurately as possible. Words per minute and accuracy are tracked live, and the leaderboard shows where every player stands in real time. Type Race is used in typing skill development programs, keyboarding classes, and productivity workshops. It is also popular as an engaging activity in computer science classrooms and coding bootcamps where typing speed directly impacts learning throughput. The competitive live format creates genuine motivation to improve - watching your rank update in real time as you type is a uniquely compelling driver of effort.

## FAQ

### What does Type Race measure?

Type Race measures words per minute (WPM) and accuracy percentage. Both metrics are tracked simultaneously and shown on the live leaderboard during the race.

### Can I use custom text passages in Type Race?

Yes. Hosts can configure custom passages - subject-specific text, technical terminology, code snippets, or any text relevant to the session's learning goals.

### Is Type Race good for improving typing speed?

Yes. The competitive real-time format creates more motivation to type accurately and quickly than solo typing practice. Regular use in Type Race consistently improves both WPM and accuracy.

### How long does a Type Race session take?

A single race typically lasts 1 to 3 minutes. A full session with multiple races runs 10 to 20 minutes.

### Is this a good WPM test for pupils and students?

Yes. Every round reports words per minute and accuracy, so it works as a keyboarding assessment in an ICT or computer lab lesson, and as typing practice for students preparing for practical exams.

### How is MindLoop different from Kahoot or Quizizz?

MindLoop is a free alternative that bundles typing races with question banks, assignments and long-term analytics in one place. Where Kahoot and Quizizz focus on one-off quiz rounds, MindLoop keeps a persistent workspace for your school, college batch or team, so progress carries across sessions instead of resetting every time.
