About Whack-a-Mole

Whack-a-Mole takes the fairground booth and boils it down to thirty frantic seconds of hand-eye chaos. Hit Start and moles begin popping from the grid of holes at random, each one showing itself for only a beat before it ducks back down — click or tap to bonk it and score, and the pace ramps up nastily as the clock winds toward zero. Because a mole can surface anywhere, the winning posture is to keep your cursor or finger hovering near the centre where every hole is within equal reach, and to watch the whole board with a soft, wide gaze rather than locking onto any single hole. Strike the instant you spot one — hesitation is a miss — but resist the urge to spray swings at empty holes, since every wasted tap is time you do not get back. When the speed spikes at the end, clean hits beat panic mashing every time. It is free, needs no download, plays by touch on a phone, and keeps your best score for the next attempt.

How to play

  • Press Start to begin a 30-second round.
  • Moles pop up from the holes at random — click or tap them to score.
  • Each mole only stays up for a moment, so be quick.
  • The game speeds up as time runs out. Score as many hits as you can.

Strategy & tips

  • Keep your cursor or finger near the centre so you can reach any hole fast.
  • Watch the whole grid, not one hole — moles can pop up anywhere.
  • Tap the instant you see a mole; hesitation lets it duck back down.
  • Do not waste swings on empty holes — misses cost you time.
  • As the pace ramps up near the end, focus on clean hits over frantic tapping.
