Mattel Television currently is partnered with Fremantle to develop a game show inspired by the game, which has yet to debut. The show will be an elimination-style, unscripted series to determine the "Whac-a-Mole Champion". The competition will involve a life-size version of the game, as well as obstacle courses and other "surprising twist[s]". [21] Design [ edit ] The moles are mounted on rods and raised by a lever and crank system. When the user strikes the mole, a microswitch is activated by a pin housed within the mole and the system lowers the mole. [22] They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. It has also been applied to fake news, where as soon as one story is debunked another appears elsewhere – or sooner. [31] See also [ edit ]

In addition to the single-player game described above, there is a multi-player game, most often found at amusement parks. In this version, there is a large bank of individual Whac-A-Mole games linked together, and the goal is to be the first player to reach a designated score (rather than hitting the most moles within a certain time). In most versions, striking a mole is worth ten points, and the winner is the first player to reach a score of 150 (15 moles). The winner receives a prize, typically a small stuffed animal, which can be traded up for a larger stuffed animal should the player win again. a b "おかし大作戦 (1981)" (in Japanese).
