6×6 Schulte Table — Advanced Challenge Online
The 6×6 Schulte table (numbers 1–36) is the first step beyond the classic 5×5 — the right challenge once 5×5 rounds feel comfortable and you want a wider field of visual search.
Finish a round to start your progress curve.
Training notes
With 36 cells instead of 25, the 6×6 grid increases the search load by almost half while keeping rounds around a minute for trained players. It is the natural next size when you finish the 5×5 Schulte table inside the adult reference bands several rounds in a row.
Reference times for adults: under 40 seconds is excellent, 41–50 seconds is good, under 60 seconds is average. These are interpolated estimates (marked * on the standard-time page) — most published tables only cover 5×5 and 7×7, so treat the 6×6 band as a guide and track your own curve.
Adult reference: excellent ≤40s · good 41-50s · average ≤60s*.* Interpolated estimate — use as a guide only. Full standard-time table →

Frequently asked questions
What is a good 6×6 Schulte table time?
For adults, under 40 seconds is excellent, 41–50 seconds is good, and under 60 seconds is average. These bands are linear interpolations between the published 5×5 and 7×7 reference tables, so treat them as a guide rather than an official standard — your own progress curve matters more.
Who is the 6×6 grid for?
It is for players who have outgrown the classic 5×5: if you finish 5×5 rounds under about 20 seconds consistently, the 6×6 adds enough search load to keep improving. It also suits teenagers and adults who find 5×5 too short for a real training session.
How does 6×6 compare to 5×5?
The 6×6 grid has 36 cells versus 25 — about 44% more targets — and typical completion times roughly double. The extra row and column widen the field, forcing broader peripheral vision and longer gaze planning than the classic 5×5 Schulte table.
