timed challenge

Race against time

A timed challenge is a task or competition that must be completed within a set time limit.

The constraint adds pressure and tests efficiency: The cooking show's timed challenge gave contestants thirty minutes to prepare a three-course meal.

Video games, escape rooms, and fitness programs use timed challenges to heighten difficulty and engagement.
