Whack a Mole

Hire From £445.

The electronic Whack a Mole is a 2-player head-to-head game where players hammer LED-lit moles as they pop up at random. Rounds last ~30 seconds with digital scoring, giving you up to 90 plays per hour. We’ve supplied these on exhibition stands at the NEC, ExCeL London, and Manchester Central, and they consistently pull visitors off the aisles and onto your stand.

Exhibition Game Hire has over 20 years of specialist experience supplying interactive games to exhibitions and trade shows at venues including the NEC Birmingham, ExCeL London, Manchester Central, and Leeds First Direct Arena. We understand the logistics of venue loading bays, stand build schedules, and the turnaround times exhibition organisers demand.

Full Custom Branding

The Whack a Mole unit can be fully branded with your company logo, colours, campaign messaging, or product launch graphics. The front panel, side panels, and playing surface are all brandable. Check our gallery for examples of previous exhibition branding work. Everything is designed, printed, and applied by our in-house team – not outsourced.

Why Exhibitors Choose DB

We own and maintain 95% of our equipment in-house from a 25,000 sq ft warehouse. That means no subcontractor no-shows on build day, no third-party coordination headaches, and a single point of contact from quote to collection. We’ve supplied exhibition games to companies including Specsavers, Amazon, and councils across South and West Yorkshire – organisations that require professional standards, £5 million public liability insurance, and full documentation.

Seasonal Reskins

Running a Halloween or Christmas themed exhibition? The same game is available as Whack a Zombie or Whack a Snowman – identical mechanics with themed graphics that suit seasonal activations and launch events.

Build an Exhibition Package

Whack a Mole pairs well with other stand games. Popular exhibition packages include Batak Pro, Strike a Light, Atari Pong, and Magnetic Score Leader Board. We carry 600+ products, so multi-game packages go out on one delivery with one invoice.
