Overview

Whack-a-Mole: a 30-second reflex test

Whack-a-Mole is the arcade classic reborn for your screen: moles pop up at random from a grid of holes, and your only job is to tap them before they duck back down. You have thirty seconds, and every mole you catch is a point. It is pure reaction and hand-eye coordination — simple to grasp, and genuinely addictive as you chase a higher score.

This version runs entirely in your browser with a tap or a click, tracks your best score, and works on phones and desktops alike. There is nothing to install and nothing is uploaded — just quick, satisfying, thirty-second bursts of reflex-testing fun.
