Frequently Asked Questions
Do moles disappear on their own?
Yes — each mole retreats after a short window, and that window shrinks over the round, so late-round moles need genuine reflexes.
Is there a penalty for tapping empty holes?
No point penalty, but every wasted tap is time not spent on a live mole.
What is a strong score?
Over 25 hits in a round means your reactions are comfortably above average.
