About Whack-a-Mole
The arcade classic, online. Moles pop out of holes — your job is to tap them as fast as humanly possible. Sounds easy. The moles are faster than you think.
How to Play
- Press Start to begin a 30-second round
- A mole appears in one of 9 holes
- Tap (or click) the mole as fast as you can
- Each successful hit = +10 points
- Speed increases as the round progresses
Tips & Strategy
- Don't wait for moles to fully appear — start your tap as soon as you see motion
- Keep your finger close to the center of the grid for fastest coverage
- Don't tunnel-vision — use peripheral vision to scan all 9 holes
- Stay relaxed. Tense fingers are slow fingers.
