As far as I can find online the game was invented in the 70s as is. The predecessor to dunk tanks could be broadly compared to whac-a-mole, but it was throwing objects at a black person’s head and them trying to dodge it, so it’s not really the same thing.
half remembering the last sort of struggle session about the dunk tank, but didn’t whack a mole have the same racist origins as the dunk tank?

my memory did not serve me well today. oh well
I don’t think so? It’s originally a Japanese arcade game from the 70s.
