Play Target Hunt – Free Online Typing Game
See, read, type — bullseye!
Target Hunt is a free online typing aim game set at a carnival range. Wood, balloon, moving, and flying targets pop up with words — type one to aim, finish it to fire. You get 60 seconds, misses cost nothing, and star and gold targets pay big bonuses.
How to play Target Hunt
- Pick a difficulty: Easy, Normal, or Hard. Harder ranges spawn faster, trickier targets.

- Click (or tap) a target to select it directly instead.
- Star and gold targets are worth far more — hunt them first.
- Score as much as you can in 60 seconds. Press Esc to pause.
