Whac-a-mole is part of a series of installations dedicated to combating gender stereotypes and enhancing self-esteem in children. The game uses arcade buttons with integrated LEDs. Before engaging with the installations, users are given a barcode to initialize the installations and to store their scores in a local database(and other non-sensible data).

Whac-a-mole is designed to test user reflexes. It controls button LEDs switch and checks if a button is pressed LED buttons are turned on randomly and user can press them. The app checks and saves how many buttons have been correctly pressed in a time range (default is 30”).
