What is Mole Bonk?
Mole Bonk is a quick reaction game. A cartoon mole pops out of a hole somewhere on a green lawn and ducks back down three quarters of a second later, and you have to click or tap it in time. Each round has ten moles, and faster hits earn more points, up to 1,000 per mole.

Mole Bonk is a twenty-second test of how fast your hand can follow your eyes. A goofy, wide-eyed mole sticks its head out of a dirt hole somewhere on a bright lawn, hangs there for a blink, and drops back out of sight. Click it in time and it vanishes in a yellow flash. Christopher Scott Hernandez wrote the game in plain JavaScript back in 2010 and drew every mole and button himself. This page runs it unblocked, so a round fits easily between other tasks.
One Round, Ten Moles
Click the title screen and the lawn appears. After a short wait the first mole pops up in a random spot. It stays visible for exactly three quarters of a second. When you hit it, a yellow burst covers it for half a second before it disappears.
Then the lawn sits empty for about a second and a half before the next mole shows. That repeats until ten moles have come and gone.
The panel in the top left keeps a running total of points and a line labeled Moles, such as 6 / 8, meaning six hits from eight moles so far. After the tenth, it switches to your final score and a Play Again button appears.
Why Speed Is Everything
Every mole starts at 1,000 points, and that value drains away the whole time it is above ground. A hit the moment it appears gets nearly the full amount; a hit just before it ducks pays almost nothing. Ten fast hits add up to close to 10,000, while ten slow ones might not reach a quarter of that.

Getting Faster
A few habits make a surprising difference:
- Park your pointer in the center. Moles can appear anywhere, so the middle of the lawn is the shortest distance to every hole.
- Reset during the pause. The gap between moles is long enough to drift back to the center. Make it a habit after every hit.
- Aim for the dirt ring. The brown hole is the widest part of the picture, and anywhere on the mole image counts as a hit.
- Do not forget the corner. A mole can surface right under the score panel, and it still counts if you click it there.
- Commit early. A rushed click on grass costs nothing, but hesitating costs points every fraction of a second.
Small, Simple and Replayable
There are no levels, power-ups or settings, and that is the appeal. Fixed rounds mean every score is directly comparable, so it works well as a quick contest between friends taking turns. Younger players can enjoy it too. If you like testing your reactions, Coil asks for fast pointer work of a different kind, and more short games live in our casual games section.
Mole Bonk: questions players ask
What is the best possible score in Mole Bonk?
Each mole can pay up to 1,000 points, and there are ten per round, so a flawless round lands just under 10,000. Getting near that means clicking almost the instant each mole appears.
Is there a penalty for clicking the wrong spot?
No. Clicks on empty grass are ignored, so there is no cost for a fast guess. A mole that hides before you hit it is simply recorded as a miss, and you lose only the points it could have given.
Do the moles get faster as the round goes on?
No. Every mole stays up for the same three quarters of a second, and the gap between moles is a steady second and a half. The challenge stays the same from the first mole to the tenth, which makes scores easy to compare.
Can kids play Mole Bonk on a tablet?
Yes. Tapping works just like clicking, there is nothing to read during play, and a round is over in about 20 seconds. Holding the tablet sideways makes the lawn and moles bigger.
