Got thirty seconds? That is about all a round takes. Mole Bonk unblocked is a tiny reflex test on a green lawn: a cartoon mole pops out of a hole, and you click it before it ducks back down.
Christopher Scott Hernandez wrote it back in 2010 in plain JavaScript and drew the moles himself. It is simple, cheerful and great for a short break between classes.
How to play Mole Bonk
Click the title screen to start. Moles appear one at a time at random spots on the lawn, and each stays up for less than a second. Move your pointer over it and click to bonk it.
Reaction time sets your score. Hit a mole the instant it shows up and you collect close to 1,000 points, and the value drops the longer you wait. Missing one just means no points for that mole.
Every round is exactly ten moles. The panel in the corner shows your points and how many moles you hit out of how many appeared. After the tenth, you see your final score and can press Play Again.

Tips
- Park your pointer in the center. Moles can show up anywhere, so the middle keeps every spot within a short reach.
- Reset during the pause. There is a short gap between moles, so slide back to the center each time.
- Click the whole picture. Any part of the mole image counts, including the dirt mound, so aim for the biggest target.
- Don't hesitate. A slow hit still scores, but a fast one is worth several times more, so trust your first move.
- Check the corner. Moles sometimes appear beneath the score box, and hitting one there works just fine.
Mole Bonk questions
Does clicking the grass cost points?
No. Clicks on the empty lawn do nothing. The only cost of a miss is the points you could have earned on that mole.
What is a perfect score?
With a 1,000-point ceiling per mole, the top of the range is just under 10,000 for a round of ten lightning-fast hits.
Does it work on a tablet?
Yes. Tap the moles instead of clicking. The game scales to fit the screen, and holding the device sideways makes the lawn bigger.
