About the Game
Whac-A-Mole was invented in 1971 by Aaron Fechter. Fechter went on to start the entertainment pizza chain Showbiz Pizza Place with a Kansas businessman named Bob Brock. Their new company bought more Whac-a-Moles than any other single customer.


How it Works
Got a hefty frustration you want to “whack” out? Your phone is your tool. Let’s whack some moles (or mentally substitute whomever you like in their place.)
The “mallet” is, or course, your finger. If you don’t strike a mole within a certain time or with enough force, it will eventually sink back into its hole with no score. Gameplay starts out slow enough for most people to hit all of the moles that rise, it gradually increases in speed, with each mole spending less time above the hole and with more moles outside of their holes at the same time. After a designated time limit, the game ends, regardless of the skill of the player. The final score is based upon the number of moles struck.
