Whack-a-Mole — Free Reflex Arcade Game

Whack-a-Mole

30-second reflex challenge

Score: 0

Best: 0

Hit moles fast and avoid bombs. You can also use keys 1–9 and the arrow keys.

How to play

Moles 🐹 pop at random from a 3×3 grid of holes. Tap a mole for +1, but hitting a 💣 bomb costs 2 points. Over 30 seconds the moles appear faster and more often, so stay sharp.

Origin & history

Whack-a-Mole descends from the 1976 Japanese arcade cabinet 'Mogura Taiji', a classic reflex game.

FAQ

Any tips for a higher score?

Keep your finger close to the screen and watch the whole grid with soft focus. Never hit bombs (💣) — when unsure, skip it, since a bomb (−2) hurts more than a mole (+1) helps.
