Whack-a-Mole – a New Interactive Floor Game for Active Learning

Moles are popping up across the floor, and children must stomp them before they disappear. That is the simple, irresistible premise of Whack-a-Mole — an interactive floor game that immediately gets children moving and laughing.

But there is more to it than reflexes. Like the best WizeFloor apps, Whack-a-Mole combines physical activity with learning content. Moles can display letters, numbers, images, or categories, so children are not just stomping — they are practising. Only stomp the vowels. Only hit the moles showing animals. Find the numbers from the five times table. Teachers and pedagogues can customise which moles appear, what they show, and how the game is structured — across multiple levels that increase in challenge and pace.

To get you started straight away, we have created five ready-made games built on the template. Catch the Mole is the classic version — little moles pop up from the ground and children must react fast. The Flying Targets puts a new spin on the format, with targets moving through the air for children to hit. Catch Flies sends a spider spinning across the floor as children help it catch the flies caught in its web. The Sorting Station sees robots teaming up and children must identify and sort items correctly as they appear. And The Correct Equations adds a mathematics challenge, asking children to find and stomp only the correct equations from those popping up on screen.

All five are available directly in the community library from today — and because they are built on the same template, you can use them as-is or customise and remix them for your own group.

Plates – Competitive Interactive Floor Game

Plates drops children into a busy kitchen, where plates come flying across the counter and players compete to hit their own and score more points than their opponent before time runs out. It is fast, visual, and immediately engaging — the kind of interactive floor game that needs no explanation before children are already playing.

Three ready-made games built on the template are available in the library now. The Wild Kitchen challenges players to find and hit only the plates carrying the correct icon — adding a sharp focus element to the competition. The Witch’s Brewery moves the action to a magical setting, where players must catch the correctly coloured potions flying across the floor. And Letter Hunt brings a literacy twist to the format, as players compete to find vowels or consonants first — making it a great way to practise letter recognition in a genuinely competitive setting.

As with all WizeFloor templates, the content, background, and settings are fully customisable, so you can build your own themed version and share it with the community.

New Grid-Based Menu for Wall-Based Interactive Floor Systems

We have redesigned the app selection menu with wall-based WizeFloor installations in mind. The previous menu layout did not translate well to vertical screens, but the new grid-based design makes it much easier to browse and launch apps — whether you are navigating by touch, throwing a ball at the screen, or using a keyboard.

Keyboard and touch accessibility have also been improved throughout, making the whole experience faster and more reliable. If you are running WizeFloor on a wall system, you will notice the difference immediately.

Faster Live Search Across the Game Library

Finding the right interactive floor learning game for your session just got quicker. We have made improvements to the live search feature, so you can locate games and content across the full library with less friction — whether you know exactly what you are looking for or are browsing for inspiration.
