Whack-a-Mole — Free Online Reaction Game
Play Whack-a-Mole free in your browser. Tap the moles before they disappear and challenge your reaction time across three difficulty levels.
Whack-a-Mole is the classic arcade reaction game brought to your browser — no downloads, no accounts, and no ads in the way. Moles pop up at random from a 3×3 grid of holes, and your job is to tap each one before it ducks back down. Three difficulty levels adjust both the round length and how fast the moles appear: Easy gives you a relaxed 30 seconds with slower moles, Medium ramps things up for 20 seconds, and Hard pushes your reflexes to the limit with the fastest moles in just 15 seconds.
The game tracks your score, misses, and live accuracy percentage, and your best score is saved for the rest of your session so you can keep chasing a new personal best. It's a perfect quick-break game on desktop or mobile — touch, mouse, and trackpad all work the same way. Because everything runs locally in your browser, your scores stay private and the game keeps working even offline.
