Pros | Good value for money and pretty sturdy. | Comes with 2 hammers and suction cups on the base. Lots of levels in both modes keeping in interesting for longer. | Sturdy with good light and sound effects. |
Cons | Only comes with one hammer. Lose six lives and the lights go out, so probably not the best for really young children who haven't mastered the rules yet. | More expensive than it's close rivals. | Only 5 moles and limited levels. |

Best Head to Head Whack-a-Mole
Intro to 2 games below
Brand | Gofimyee | Winning |
 |  |  |
Pause Button | ❌ | ❌ |
Batteries | 1 x Rechargeable | 4 AA batteries (not included) |
Size | H:5 L:36 W:26cm | H:8 L:42 W:32cm |
Details | This is a fantastic little game and the only one of our picks that comes with a rechargeable battery. It has lots of modes, 15 levels, 8 speeds and 15 songs. Decent quality and robust with goods lights and sounds. Not many downsides but you can't play whilst the game is recharging (4 hours charge for 6 hours play time). | This is decent game but pricey when compared to the Gofimyee. It has one special button though that few others have - MUTE! Whack a mole games are hectic, noisy and repetitive - if the idea of a mute button sounds magical then the premium might be worth it. |
