How to Play

How to Play

  1. Listen for the braille character and whack it by pressing the matching braille chord or key before the mole disappears. The game defaults to QWERTY input, and you can change input to Perkins Home Row keys in the Game Settings.
  2. Each mole always represents exactly one braille cell, and only one chord or key is ever needed.
  3. For number modes, the number sign is not used during gameplay.
  4. The moles pop up faster and faster as the round goes on, so stay sharp.
  5. At the end of the round, cash out your tickets for a prize or drop in another token and keep playing.
  6. You get bonus tickets per round for hitting a streak of 5 moles or more, and Speed bonuses for how fast you hit the moles when they pop up.
  7. For Jaws and NVDA users on Windows: be sure to enter Forms or Focus mode when the game starts.
  8. Use a standard keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard on a mobile device in order to play. Due to HID limitations, external braille displays won't currently work with the game unless they send keyboard-only input.
