👻 Whack-a-Ghost

<p>Welcome to a haunted nursery, where every shadow seems to lean closer. Whack-a-Ghost is a free online fast reaction tap game soaked in uneasy, lullaby-soaked silence. Your goal is simple to grasp and hard to master: smash the right targets and dodge the decoys against the clock. Targets flash up faster and faster as the seconds tick away, decoys slip in to trip you up, and a rising combo meter rewards a steady, fearless hand.</p><p>It looks calm for a moment, and then it absolutely is not — the design loves to lull you into comfort right before it bites. A built-in leaderboard tracks your high score, so there is always one more run left in you — first you beat your own best, then you set out to beat everyone else's. Whether you are a seasoned escape-room veteran or just here for a quick thrill on your break, it meets you where you are.</p><p>Like every ArcadeOwl title it runs instantly in your browser with no download, no sign-up and no plugins, and it plays beautifully on phone, tablet and desktop with full touch and keyboard support. Your progress and best scores are stored right in your browser, so you can step away and pick the hunt back up whenever you next dare to return. Dim the lights, turn the sound up, and see just how long you last.</p>
