Whack-a-Mole

What is Whack-a-Mole?

Whack-a-Mole is a reflex game: moles pop out of holes at random and you hit them fast before they vanish. It runs in the browser with no install — click on desktop, tap on mobile.

Simple rules, but moles get faster and appear in bunches over time, so you need quick judgment and accuracy. Watching broadly beats mashing anywhere.

How to play

1. Moles pop from holes at random.
2. Click or tap a mole the instant it appears to score.
3. Moles vanish quickly, so timing matters.
4. When the timer ends, you get your final score.

Scoring tips

• Watch broadly — staring at one hole misses others.
• Accuracy first — mis-clicks tangle your hand.
• Rest at center — start near the middle to reach any direction.
• Prep for the rush — it speeds up late; learn the rhythm early.
