Whack Wild! is an indie virtual reality action arcade game developed and self-published by 1001397494 Ontario Corporation (operating as the Whack Wild! Team). Released on November 10, 2026 on the Meta Horizon Store for Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 2, the game reimagines classic carnival mole-whacking around close-range two-glove punches and dynamically changing target boards.
Shifting boards and five themed worlds
Stepping up to curved arcade boards wearing a pair of oversized boxing gloves, players use tracked motion controllers to jab, hook, and swat mischievous moles as fast as reflexes allow. Rather than keeping you in front of a single static grid, Whack Wild! expands its layouts from compact 12-hole starter frames into wide 32-hole walls, reshapes the board mid-run, and breaks tunnels apart into floating targets that keep both hands moving.
- 25-stage World Tour campaign: Progress across five distinct stylized environments—Woodland, Ice Caves, Pirate Cove, Space, and Candy World—each introducing themed mole variants such as bespectacled forest moles, ice-encased armored moles, helmeted alien targets, pirate moles, and frosted cupcake moles.
- Glove power-ups and cosmetics: Earn in-game coins during runs to upgrade special abilities, stock up on glove power-ups, and unlock cosmetic styles in the in-game shop.
Endless score chasing, Weekly Challenge and Practice
Beyond its structured World Tour stages, Whack Wild! is built around quick "one more try" high-score runs and online leaderboards:
- Two Endless modes: Test loadouts and activated abilities in Classic Endless (with specials enabled) or strip runs down to pure hand speed and accuracy in the reflex-focused No Specials Endless mode.
- Weekly Challenge & Practice: Compete on online leaderboards with cumulative weekly placements in Weekly Challenge, or warm up and drill tricky target patterns at your own pace in Practice mode.

- Free starter demo + full-game unlock: Free to download on the Meta Horizon Store with the first three Woodland campaign levels playable at no cost; an optional one-time $9.99 USD in-app unlock opens all 25 campaign stages, both Endless modes, Weekly Challenge, and Practice.
