Editorial Review
The classic carnival game of Whac-a-mole comes right into your house in this energetic and highly silly home version. The inherent cruelty of this game is tempered considerably by how much fun the moles appear to be having while receiving repeated blows to the head with big plastic mallets. It must help that each mole gets to wear a helmet, each a different color. One to four players can join in by whacking the critter in front of them during the "sign in" period at the beginning of the game. The object of the game, naturally, is to whack the moles as they pop up and players can choose to have them light up or not. Parents should be aware of course that they are giving big plastic mallets to very young children and the result will almost certainly be that one kid whacks another before too long. It's just bound to happen. But if those energies can be re-directed toward the moles, this is a fun and silly way to play inside. i--Charlie Williamsi

 We've been playing it for a few years now, I've never changed the batteries November 11, 2008

We've had this game for quite awhile. It's a gas. You have a hammer, you pick one of the silly little moles in front of you to whack, you turn the game on to either solo, easy or hard and go at her. The easy game the moles helmets light up and you have a distinct sound that signals youre mole is lighting. On the hard game there is no light and the game makes the sound of your mole to signal the whacking.br /br /The game keeps score for you. Everytime you whack correctly you are awarded points, every time you whack incorrectly the game deducts points. You play to 100 to win, there are bonus whacks announced and anyone can whack their mole.br /br /The sounds are all different and silly, barking dog, meowing cat, yoo hoo, a silly boingy sound. The sounds change per mole whenever you play, you won't have the same sound each time, causing you to really pay attention.br /br /We have been whacking on this game for about 3 years now. I've yet to change the batteries. My son, at 7, is probably too old for it now, but it still makes us giggle on a rainy afternoon. br /br /If you have aggressive children you may want to think twice about handing them a hammer and encouraging them to whack the moles. Also if you have poor sports you may want to set up some hammer ground rules.br /br /After 3 years of whacking we still have the game and hammers intact.
A Favorite at Our House! November 7, 2008
Our twin boys got this toy for Christmas a year ago, and though they have zillions of toys and games, this is the one they pull out over and over again. I *love* that it has adjustable volume, and that they can play the game by themselves, together, or with Mom and Dad. The variable difficulty levels keep things challenging even for me, so I don't mind playing with them. I also love that you have to listen for a different sound each time--it's a good tool to teach little boys to pay attention. br /br /I love this game, and would totally buy it again.
Fun First Game for 3 Year Olds June 25, 2008
We got Whac-A-Mole as one of my 3 year old daughter's first games. It is really easy for her to understand what she is supposed to do and she has a blast playing with it. It teaches hand eye coordination as well as listening skills...I had no idea games like this had educational value, so I was impressed. I was looking for a toy my daughter could understand and play on her own at times, so I am pleased that she can get alot more out of this game than I bargained for. I would highly recommend this game.
 No problems screwdriver and soldering iron won't fix... June 16, 2008

Our son received this as a Christmas gift and loved playing with it. Like other reviewers here it wasn't long before the sound went out... which makes the toy pretty well worthless. I little investigation showed that the welds on the speaker are weak and broke. A few minutes with a wire trimmer and a soldering iron and the toy has worked good as new since.br /br /Our 3y/o could care less about the game play, and is quite satisfied to randomly pound the moles with the mallet. Single player mode is pretty tough and I doubt many kids can beat it. Lots of fun to be had for 2 to 4 kids in the multi player modes. It is a shame they didn't use a little more care in assembling it.
we all love this game April 22, 2008
I bought this game because i have a 2 year old. 3 year old and 6 year old and i wanted a game we could all play. We turned off the tv and we played this game for an hour. everyone can play this and it was soo much fun. It comes a part alot but is eaasy to put back together. Make sure you have batteries cause your kids will want to play with it right away.
