How to Play

1. Listen for the letter, number, or braille character and whack it by tapping the matching key or braille chord 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. For Perkins input: Dot 1 in F, Dot 2 is D, Dot 3 is S, Dot 4 is J, Dot 5 is K, and Dot 6 is L.
   • For iPhone and Android screen reader braille input: in the game area, focus the Braille Entry field, type your letter or contraction, and if your device does not send it right away, press Return to submit it.
   • For external braille displays, type the right chord and press dot 8 or space bar to whack the current mole.
   • Make sure to change your braille entry mode to Uncontracted if playing in the Grade 1 modes, and contracted for the Grade 2 or Invasion modes. In Invasion mode, you will have to type the letter sign before a grade 1 letter so it interprets correctly.
3. Make sure to use the braille number sign to whack the number moles!
4. The moles pop up faster and faster as the round goes on, so stay sharp.
5. At the end of the round, cash in your tickets for a prize or keep playing to whack more moles.
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. Enjoy your prizes on your Prize Shelf, which will persist every time you come back to the game until you clear the shelf.
8. Training Mode Difficulty: practice your typing or braille entry by whacking 15 moles without a timer. You don't get a score nor any tickets, but it's a great way to work on your skills before going into the main game. Training mode also has a Speak Braille Dots toggle in Game Settings, further helping you learn along the way. Training mode works with any Braille and Typing mode.
9. For Jaws and NVDA users on Windows: be sure to enter Forms or Focus mode when the game starts.
10. This game can be played with any standard or Bluetooth keyboard for both desktop and mobile. External braille displays will require you to hit dot 8 or the space bar to whack the current mole after entering the chord.
11. Choose your preferred voice and speech rate based on your system language in Game Settings.
