A fast, free reflex game with real sounds
Whack-a-Button is a quick 30-second game from Sound Buttons Australia. Every button plays its own sound when you hit it – pops, coins, boings and bonks – and the board speeds up as the clock runs down. Beat your best score, then challenge your mates to beat it too.
It runs right in your browser with no download, so it loads quickly on phones, tablets and school Chromebooks. Had enough? Head back to the sound buttons for meme sounds, sound effects and true blue Aussie sounds.
Frequently asked questions
How do I play Whack-a-Button?
Press Play, then tap the buttons as they light up – before they go dark again. Each hit plays a sound and scores points. You have 30 seconds, and the buttons get faster and busier as the clock runs down.
What are the golden buttons and drop bears?
A ⭐ golden button is worth 50 points instead of 10 – but it disappears quicker. A 🐨 drop bear is a trap: tap it and you lose 30 points and your combo. Leave the drop bears alone!
How do combos work?
Every 5 hits in a row raises your multiplier, up to ×5. Missing a lit button, tapping a dark one or hitting a drop bear resets it, so stay sharp.
Is my best score saved?
Yes – your best score is saved in this browser on this device. A private window or clearing your browser data starts it from zero.
Is Whack-a-Button free and unblocked?
Yes. It's free, needs no download or sign-up, and is light enough to run on school Chromebooks and phones. Whether you can play at school depends on your school's rules.
