How to play Whack-a-Mole

Play Whack-a-Mole online free. React quickly, tap speedy moles, avoid red decoys, build scoring combos, and chase your best 30-second score.

Objective, rules, and result

Hit brown moles during the 30-second round to earn points and grow a combo. Red decoys carry a penalty, and a mole that disappears unhit breaks momentum. The final score is the result.

How to play

  1. Tap or click a brown mole as soon as it appears from a hole.
  2. Keep hitting real moles to grow your combo and earn bonus points.
  3. Avoid red decoys and score as much as possible before time expires.

Controls

Keyboard and mouse: Click brown moles; Space hits the active hole.

Touch: Tap brown moles and avoid red decoys.

Strategies to try

  • Keep attention near the centre so peripheral holes remain within a short pointer movement.
  • Confirm the target is brown before acting; preserving a combo is worth more than a rushed decoy hit.

Device and accessibility notes

Click or tap moles; Space activates the current keyboard target. The round is fast and visually timed, with colour distinguishing decoys, so it may be difficult for some motor or colour-vision users.
