Tap-a-Critter

How to play

You have 60 seconds. Critters pop out of the 9 burrows on random timers. Tap or click each critter before it ducks back down to score a point. Quick successive taps build a combo multiplier.

Tips & strategy

Rest your cursor/finger in the centre; the centre tile is nearest all 9 burrows. Do not chase a critter that is already ducking — the combo cost is bigger than the single point you would lose.

Good for

• One-minute daily reflex warm-up.
• Family-friendly party score-chase.
• Fun on touchscreens (the buttons are large).

Frequently asked questions
