Game Timer for Board Games & Card Games

Long turns kill the fun in board games. Set a per-turn timer: 60 seconds, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, whatever fits your game, and everyone knows they need to make their move before time runs out. The large display keeps the timer visible to the whole table, and the automatic reset lets you quickly start the next player's turn. Whether you're playing Settlers of Catan, Risk, Scrabble, or any strategy game, a visible timer keeps the game moving and the energy high.

  • Per-turn countdown with quick reset
  • Large display for the whole table

Count-Up Timer for Speedruns & Competitions

Speedrunners and competition organizers need precise elapsed-time tracking. EventTimer's count-up mode starts from zero and measures exactly how long a task takes, down to the millisecond if needed. Use it for speedrun attempts, escape-room challenges, cooking competitions, or any timed contest where the fastest time wins. The fullscreen display makes it easy for spectators to follow along, and the pause/resume function handles breaks cleanly.

  • Millisecond precision for speedruns
  • Fullscreen spectator display
  • Pause/resume for breaks
  • Zero-lag start on spacebar

Yellow at 10 seconds, red at 5 seconds, build suspense as teams race to lock in their answers.
