Whack-a-Mole
Thirty seconds, nine holes, and moles that won't sit still. Whack them the instant they pop up — miss the window and they're gone on their own.
How to Play
- Choose a difficulty — harder settings mean moles appear faster and vanish sooner.
- Click or tap a hole the instant a mole pops up there.
- A mole that isn't clicked in time just disappears on its own; clicking an empty hole counts as a miss.
- You've got 30 seconds — the round ends automatically when time's up.
Game Features
- Nine holes, with up to two moles up at once on the tougher settings.
- Three difficulty levels that speed up how quickly moles appear and vanish.
- Hits, misses, and accuracy all tracked through the round.
- Your best hit count sticks around on this device, split out by difficulty.
- Works the same whether you're clicking with a mouse or tapping a touchscreen.
Tips & Strategy
- On Medium and Hard, two moles can be up at once — glance across the whole grid rather than staring at one spot.
- Missed clicks pull your accuracy down without adding a hit, so don't just click wildly hoping to catch something.
- A round on Easy first is a good way to get a feel for the timing before jumping to Hard.
