How to play the balloon game

This is a free balloon game for toddlers and young kids: balloons float up the screen and you tap them to pop them. You have 30 seconds, and you cannot lose — missing a balloon costs nothing, the clock is the only thing that ends the game.

The balloons start big and slow and get smaller and quicker as the seconds pass, so small kids pop a handful and older kids and adults can chase a high score. When the time is up you can play again straight away, or send a friend your score as a challenge.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free, with no ads?

Yes. No ads, no sign-up and nothing to install: it runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer.

What age is it for?

It was made so a three-year-old can play it: big targets, no lives, no game over. Adults can still play it for a score.

Can you lose?

No. There are no lives and nothing punishes a missed tap: the game only ends when the 30 seconds run out.

Can I play with a friend?

Yes, one after the other: share your score and they try to beat it on their own screen. No account needed.
