About Whack-a-Mole
Whack-a-Mole is a quick reaction game on a three-by-three grid. Moles pop up for a short time and you tap them before they hide. At higher levels several moles appear at once and each one stays for less time.
How to play
- Tap a mole while it is above ground.
- A mole that escapes counts as a miss.
- Reach the target score before three moles get away.
Tips and strategy
- Watch the whole grid, not a single hole.
- Tap the mole that has been up the longest first.
- Use light, quick taps and keep your hand relaxed.
Levels, stars and XP
Finish a level to earn one to three stars and XP towards your player level. Replay any unlocked level to improve your stars. From level 151 the game enters endless mode, where each level is a remix of an earlier one with fresh colours and a slightly higher difficulty.
